Me and my 2002 Squier Affinity Precision Bass.

Me and my 2002 Squier Affinity Precision Bass.

Crazy... My name is Derek Beaudoin and the first bass I bought new was a blue Squier Affinity.

That was awhile ago... it is in it's 6th regeneration now. Here is a picture from the 3rd. Maybe I should call it "The Doctor".

I don't think I could sell this thing if I wanted to. So much has been done to it.

 

[Soundchaser11460]

My G&L L-2000.Love this bass,and it's versatility is amazing.

 

[Delta_Petra]

Here is the current regeneration of my Squier p-bass that will never be sold.

 

[Gopherbassist]

My first bass, and a gift from my mother.

 

[Btone]

 

[loendmaestro]

1978 Rickenbacker 3001. A Flea market steal back in the mid-90s. Not as elegant as my 4001 or 4003, but kills them both in the tone department:

And my '03 P-Bass. Killer NOS deal on ebay several years ago. Everybody needs a P-Bass in their arsenal & this is mine:

 

[4001]

I wouldn't part with those either. Nice!

 

[zon5string]

The Dan. I can't imagine ever selling the G-K rig, either.

 

[loendmaestro]

Nice Dan Armstrong!

Confess, how heavy is it?

 

[jazza42uk]

This.

 

[graziano]

the ibanez musician mc920 fretless 1987.
very hard to play a fretless as no time..
sound better the any other never tried. good to slap also !

 

[bjabass]

Never say never, but this keeps rising to the top of my pile of Jazz basses ...

Well the one in my avatar isn't going anywhere soon, (90 something MIJ P with Warmoth birdseye maple neck) hope to leave it to my son. The rest of 'em I would let go if I needed to. ('89 J '62 RI, new Warwick rockbas, Squier Jazz).

But if I had a shot at a P body, J neck with this exact color scheme, bound and blocked, I might even let go of the P in the avatar. I'm thinkin about building it from Warmoth parts.....

 

[tehuti]

Nicest instrument I have ever owned.

 

[PNizzleSM]

I played several before I found this one and it's 12 years old and going strong.. recently had to tweak the neck a bit, but is good as new again.. I love this bass.

It's the Teal bass on the right.

 

[fenderjazz02]

This is a bass I will never sell. Her name is Marie and she is a 2002 Mexican Made Fender. I have a custom neck and pickguard on her as well as a BadAssII bridge And I just put on a set of DR Neon Green strings, not only do they sound amazing they look amazing!

 

[Ursus Tyrannus]

It aint valuable, it aint a classic, it aint even pretty. But I've had it for 20 years and it aint goin no where. Besides, whos gonna buy it?

I love the lug nut knobs and screw-head fret markers. Plus the color change finish is pure awesome.

And it aint all dinged up on the ends like so many pointy basses seem to get.

 

[Munjibunga]

My retirement bass ... Fodera Emperor Deluxe 5, maple burl top, walnut body, ebony 'board, Pope preamp, Duncan dual coils. The company I worked for bought it for me.

My '94 Fender American Jazz Deluxe Plus V, which was purchased in memory of my dad, bought with money from the class action suit over the crematorium mixing and matching his ashes with others. He would've wanted me to buy this bass.

The Bass for the Cure ... Lakland JO5, East J-Retro electronics and every other option available except matching headstock.

The next two won't be sold unless I go broke, and maybe not even then.

Sadowsky 25th Anniversary Modern 5-24. Koa top, mahogany body, ebony board, mother-of-pearl dots.

F Bass BN5, spalted maple top, ash body, flamed maple 'board.

Finally, a Jerzy Drozd Obsession Excellency 5, Aguilar OBP-3 electronics, spalted/flamed/burl maple top, etimoe body, ebony 'board.

The rest of them are not likely to be sold either.

 

[noeinstein]

Never say never.
