Nicely done. I think my fav was the PJ with the 2-pickup Stingray special coming in 2nd.
Wow! Well done.
Top choice for me was the 77 Jazz followed by either the fretless Stingray AND the Star Bass. Too close to call.
Honorable mention to the 50s P since your little one seemed more drawn to that one!

77 Jazz for the win!!
That Bronco was 2nd place for me.
The others were not my cup of tea But that's just me.

First off, you've got a nice bunch of basses, and second, it was very enjoyable to listen to you playing them, as in, you've got the licks dude. For me, though, there was no questions, that 77 Jazz bass is king of the hill, followed closely by the Warwick Star Bass (loved the 3 way you did with that bass, very cool).
Bronco to me was the best and the most distinctive. If you played that live with an SVT and 8x10 or 2 15s or something similar, it is disemboweling in a good way.
Great chops.

The Fender Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special (WHO comes up with these idiotic names ? ? ?).
The FDAPS(MIM) (sheesh, it's no worse using initals !) is the best buy in a four-string in Fender's lineup for around $800USD new. And as I've always said, if you want to (extensively) modify one, there's four holes, a side jack, and it's already P and J routed and the battery box in place. Do all those mods on an American Deluxe, and the tab would be approaching 3 grand !
Bang for the buck, none of your other very nice axes even comes close.

Loved the jazz bass. It was my fave.
The slap sound on the stingray (second stringray in the video) was great.
Was pleasantly surprised by the bronco and the slap on the fretless.

There ya go, people. Less talk, more walk. Nice demo.
Thank You. @pertyman

If you’re offering me one I’d take the fretless Stingray but I liked the ‘77 Jazz best.
And extra points for keeping your concentration with the little people running around!

This is cool. I’ve been thinking about doing the same kinda thing with my collection. Im a fan of the 77 Jazz, like everyone else. Then the 50s P!
My favorites were the 77 jazz and the Warwick Star bass. Very nice playing!
