Brand loyal collections

[Tj smith]

View attachment 7179990At few months back I had an Old Smoothie and a Starry Night short scale too. But I knew I had too much of a good thing and sold them off.

I want a short scale next and a fretless

 

[Tj smith]

Dude, love the sweet leaf pickguard on your wall!!

I hydro dipped it. I also dipped these basses

Do Brand Loyal home-brew clone builds count? If so, I'm in.

Jeez, you built those? That Lemmy bass is dead on... I am in awe of your talents, sir. I'm not worthy!

 

[GTx2]

I wouldn't say "brand loyal" as I'm not paid and would incorporate other instruments if I needed them, but here are my Fender basses....

 

[N4860]

I've been using nothing but EBMM for about a decade now I'd say. Stingrays are my preferred bass but I've got a few other EBMM basses to satisfy other sounds. Here's what I've got as of now:

• Stingray Special 4H
• Stingray Special 4HH
• Stingray Special 5H
• Stingray Special 4H Fretless
• 25th Anniversary Reflex HSS
• Bongo 5HH
• Cutlass

Edit..I forgot, I also have an older US Sub bass from EBMM that I have modded with jazz pickups to satisfy my jazz bass tone if I ever need it. I do like the sound of jazz basses but not the feel or look of the body so that's why I modded a stingray to sound like a jazz.

First pic is my Epiphones (minus the LP Special) and the rest are my FSO collection.

 

[MrAB4003]

I currently own 2 Rickenbacker 4003s and I'm pretty loyal to the Ric brand. I think that's just enough basses to count as a collection.

Honorable mention - I've also owned 5 different FSOs (3x Fenders, my original Squier Jazz Bass, and an Ibanez lawsuit P Bass) since 2009. The only one that's left is my Squier Jazz because I'm not a fan of Fenders. I'll never get rid of it because it's my first ever bass and it's become my piccolo bass.

Glorious! If I ever find myself with too much money, I will find you, and make you an offer you can't refuse!

 

[Ron Spencer]

I'm guilty, I've tried other brands but always sold them and stuck with G&L L2000s

 

[woodyng2]

Rickenbackers for sure. For a brief time I owned 6,now I’m down to the 2 I liked best.

G&L -I’ve owned 4 different models, currently just 2.

 

[DJ Bebop]

Nope
Most of my purchases are based on wants based on budget or lack thereof. I did splurge after a sale on a Mesa WD and SW 115. But it has been a lot of SX basses which I was loyal to, so I guess that would be it (never as many as @dabbler though ) and whatever random stuff I come across within the lacking budget

Awesome collection. Have you tried a sterling? I have 2 standards Sterlings and a classic and prefer the Sterling over a ray.

Love me some G&L, still have my 83' L2K with the original "Lawsuit" headstock. A Tank in all the right sense of the word.

Rickenbackers for sure. For a brief time I owned 6,now I’m down to the 2 I liked best.

G&L -I’ve owned 4 different models, currently just 2.

Which two, the Walnut and red 4004's? Nice timeline there Woody, some real classics. Must have been a bit painful letting some of those go.

A few years ago, I had 3 Mike Lulls and 2 Stingrays at one time.

So? I don't go up to a woman at the bar and say, "A few years ago I had hair"!







(I kid! And I'm married and have all my hair )

That’s awesome!

Thanx! Made an ophthalmologist visit more tolerable!….

(Edit: girlfriend of 24 years, have all my hair, but it’s freakin’ Snow White….)

 

[jsixties]

Maybe not brand loyal, but I guess I am a Sire fanboy.

I still have seven or eight more Marcus Miller basses that aren't pictured yet.

Yep, the walnut Cheyenne’s my alltime favorite, and the Fireglo Cii is just the most beautiful Rick bass I’ve ever owned. (or at least a tie for the mapleglo Cii).
I do miss pretty much all the other 4004 models I’ve owned. Each one had pluses and minuses, but all were great instruments.
And the ‘74 4000 as well.
I’m still jonesing for another Kiloton, or L-1500.
