Pretty much just my Ric clones. Just works in my hands, like going home.
Yes it is...
You can have any take on anything without being rude to others....The pointless comment was rude, you apparently don't like when someone disagrees and thats a sad way to go...
I've been playing a Fender Jazz bass for 40+ years. I do own a P bass with flats when asked to bring one for recording, but it has a Jazz neck on it.
After building an "every bass Leo designed" collection, I realized all I want to play is upright or a 6-string fretless. Already sold the Ray and the L2500 and the j is next. I'm never going to play in a variety cover band, and even if I did I wouldn't be switching basses for different styles.
As for having double digit collections, that's the kind of thing collectors do. If you've got the space, the dough and the desire, enjoy. At least it's not Hummels

I have owned 25+ basses (Fender, Spector, Warwick, Lakland, Ibanez, Steinberger, MM, etc). I now only have three Fender P basses and no longer have a GAS for more basses.
Ric V63..played a 65 P and Alembic Presuader before..they sit in closet now.Not as comfortable..for me.
Pointless? Thats wasn't necessary is all i'm trying to say. I'm done. Ignore feature enacted...
I'm still seeking my One True Bass.
Being a lefty, if I don't build or buy them, I have no chance to try them.
So I have 6, and am building #7. No repeats:
Fender P-bass
Self-built PJ J-bod
Gibson LP Jr DC Tribute shortscale
Rogue VB100L Hofner clone shortscale
Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 (35")
Guild Starfire shortscale
I play them all, some more frequently. The fiver still intimidates me a little.
Building a kit-based Thunderbird fretless now.

I just play Jazz type basses . I have two 5's and a 4 string . They just fit me right and the single coil tone is what i love . I do have a P bass but don't pull it out very often .
Yes on 1. Musicman or Musicman style basses. I have owned p basses, jazz basses. P bass is so single not clear sounding, jazz basses are just too weak sounding. I am talking about passive Fender. No pedals. Guitar to amp only. Pedals can make any bass sound big & good. Last year I bought a USA made EBMM. kissed my last p bass good bye. Plus, I can't quite get past the goofy jazz shape.
I've got a bunch (jazzes, precision, L2500, stingray) but I pretty much always take my stingray on gigs. Wouldn't mind getting a nice passive j together for certain jobs though.
I only play short scales.
I pretty much only play passive Fenders. I have a selection of P's and J's and a Squier Rascal HH for shiggles.
I seem to be a passive Fender Jazz type guy.
But mine are all Franken-Fenders. I like that body and neck style especially. Add to that I have 3 different types of Jazz pickups by Bartolini so I'm partial to one maker there too.
