Does your bass collection have a theme?

Does your bass collection have a theme?

Yeah, "I got a great deal on this!"

 

[1stnamebassist]

My theme... I will go to any length to play bass. My family of three!

 

[Doner Designs]

Lots of pickups and controls, hot rod themes, flatwound strings, tort, etc...

 

[Spencerlini]

Mine was natural finish basses, but then i got a 2012 MIA Fender P-bass which kindoff ruins my theme.

 

[FretNoMore]

The theme for my bass collection would be "don't really need that one either, but it's so nice ... "

 

[hsech]

My collection makes low noises.

 

[Doner Designs]

Parts are all the same brands across all...

 

[Watchootognbout]

Natural finishes.
Gold or black hardware.
Abalone topped knobs.
Satin finish.

All three are Korean made.

Still waiting on the gold plated bridge for my seven.Any day now.

Longs, shorts, solids, hollows that will cop every tone from the popular production basses of the last 60 years. Pretty much have it too, I think.

Haha! This is from 2013! I've since sold the Tbird and my grandaughter has the Dano,but I still have the Ubass! I'll have to post a picture of the current crop when I have a chance.

With the exception of my LPB Valenti PJ, I have five sunburst Basses and three black ones.

 

[40Hz]

Mine "theme" is: basses I actually play.

I'm not the type of person who collects purely for the love of collecting. All my basses earn their keep or get sent packing.

Pretty and dangerous! Especially with that MFD right under the neck...

My theme? Three beautiful Dingwall basses that 'float my boat'.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

My Fenders have a theme:

 

[elgecko]

 

[ScarfFace]

I suppose my theme is "Leo's without a Jazz"

 

[Marko 1]

Cover the bases on a budget. (All fivers, hex-core rounds)


P - Squier VM P-5

J - Fender MIM Jazz V (w/quarter-pounders)

P-J - Yamaha BB

MM - Ibanez ATK305

 

[Sav'nBass]

If there was one theme to my collection it would be TalkBass acquisitions.... All my 5s are from TB ...both 4s were bought new and the soon to be up for sale 6 is from Reverb.

I have only 2 right now (does that count as a collection?).

A parts bass j copy with 18V Barts.
Vintage Epiphone Rivoli.

So I have solid body and semi-hollow covered.

Currently refinishing an extra j body (GF royal pawlonia) with Ed Roth gang green base and sparkle in rattle cans. Going to spend a lot of money on this one. Best of everything, the neck will be a flamed maple Warmoth, cream binding and pearloid block inlays, some really high end cream sealed pickups, gold Omega bridge, mirror gold pickguard, control plate and knobs, all gold hardware.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Maple neck theme? Lol
