3 Basses to cover all.. bases?!

[Tom Howland]

These are the 3 I play the most.

1- 1961 Jazz- Old Nickel Rounds
2- Fretless Precision.
3- Roger Fritz Hollowbody / mostly with a pick.

When needed I'll play a 5-string.

 

[Burwabit]

P/J 5 deluxe with flats (does MM pretty well)
J deluxe 5
Fretless

my versions...

 

[Bassmunnky]

Precision V
Jazz V
Ray V

 

[dvh]

Double bass, or acoustic bass guitar

Different instruments. DB does not equal ABG.

 

[Bassist4Eris]

I could sell all but these three and be satisfied (I think)

The modern, the classic (tone, not year) and the unusual.

 

[oysteivi]

Precision with rosewood fretboard
Precision with maple fretboard
Precision with solid color (i.e. non-tort) pickguard

[Lesfunk]

one four
one five
one fretless
...and I'm not 100% on the five or the fretless.

 

[bass_case]

I can cover a lot of ground with what I have:
1. 71 p fretless w/ old dimarzio j pickup,
2. 69 tele single coil.
3. 50s German standup (haven't played it in public for years, but it's there!)

I suppose a 5 str would be nice, not sure I could ever be comfortable with one after this long. Besides, you can go lower than any 5-string with a synthesizer. And make cool helicopter noises and stuff!

Disagree. One of those three doesn't belong.
