Completed Collection?

Picked up a 2019 Fender Elite Jazz in a trade this past weekend and I think that about does it for me. I've done some experimenting with newer basses but I always find myself going back to one of these three, so I think for now any money that gets allocated towards music will go to amplification or pedals, or….something.

Left to right :

2019 Fender Elite Jazz
2015 Rickenbacker 4003
2018 Fender American Pro Precision

Playing in a couple bands right now and these basses consistently scratch the itch!

(really just wanted to show off my collection if I'm being honest )

Just to be complete, you don't need the cool, but different tones from a Thunderbird. Only the coolest guys need that.

While we're on the topic, I suggest you get a copy of Geddy's book. Think of it - pictures of hundreds of basses that you have absolutely no desire for. Think of how good that will feel

We all envy you.

OK, in truth we don't believe you. Enjoy your satiety while it lasts. I'm gonna put my money in the pool for "Hofner, next Wednesday". :)
