Basses you will never sell..........show em

[Bassist Jay]

If this bass is called "The bass for the cure", I would love to jam with you sometime at some kind of cancer awareness deal such as the Relay for Life or Susan G Komen walk.

I would use this bass for my playing. In fact, it will be making it's official debut this June at our local Relay for Life. We were asked to be the featured act and play after the lighting of the luminaries. From what I understand, they want us to play for around an hour and a half so it should be an exciting show.

It used to be the "Pink Cadillac." I renamed it for the cause about a year or so ago. I'll do the jam, as long as it's in southern California or Groom Lake.

Here's my three hardest workers at the moment

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.

I'd buy it just to match my colorshift pink Kramer

Too sweet, what a pair. Thats like the exact same color! I thought that color was a B.C. Rich thing. I so badly want a matching pink color shift bass. I saw an Ironbird in the same color go for big bucks on eBay once. Killer Kramer.

Ursus, that Kramer is one I would sell yesterday if someone asked....lol

hint-hint

my non-sellers are way back in the posts

If I had to pick one, it would be the oddball Fender HM:

Mostly because I could never find a replacement!

My first bass. The start of an obsession...I still have the receipt for it, never once had an issue with it. Even If I have no clothes to wear, im keeping this bass!

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!

I dig it!

Nice Dan Armstrong!

Confess, how heavy is it?

About 10 lbs. My Les Paul is about 14. Both are very balanced; no neck-dive at all.

 

[Gaolee]

I got this in about 1981 or 1982. It will never get sold.

So it's been over 2.5 years since I started this thread....its time for a gut check ladies/gentlemen. If you sold a bass you posted in this thread after claiming you would never sell, fess up!!! A post# and/or page would be nice, maybe a pic?

I still have my Lakland. Owned her for 1 decade!! See post #1 for my initial claim.

 

[Engine207]

Never, and I mean Never:

𝄢 1980 Rickenbacker 4001 - Jetglo/White with rosewood (bubinga) fretboard. Fitted with Hipshot Ric bridge, strung with R. Cocco .045-.105 Stainless Steel Roundwounds.

Post #393. Still have it, still play it, never, and I mean never part with it.
