Nooooo, not THAT!!! 
Lately there seems to be more posts than usual about your #1 bass. No problem, I like showing off mine. Some people show off multiple basses in those threads, which is fine but, since those threads are about your #1, I "stick to the topic" and show only my #1 rather than any of my other nice basses. So, in this thread, I want to see your #2. Which bass in your collection is a really nice but, because your #1 is so special to you, it gets less playing time and is shown off less than it deserves? And why is it your #2?
Mine is a G&L L-2500 in cherryburst with matching headstock, markerless fretboard (which I LOVE), and a factory installed K-mod (single coil mode with the outer coils). I remember seeing the original owner post it for sale quite a few years ago and I drooled over it then but, at that time, I wasn’t able to buy it. Then he took it off the market. Several years later, he was updating his collection to be all six-stringers and put this one back up for sale and I jumped on it immediately. Coincidentally, in the time it was off the market, he moved across the country and was now living a few miles from where my son was going to college in Virginia – and I was going to be going there in a few days to bring my son home for spring break. So he allowed me to put down a deposit via PayPal and held it until I got down there, took payment in cash and discounted the price because he didn’t have to pay for packing and shipping. Plus I got to meet another TB’er in person. Great transaction all around!
My #1 is a Stingray 5HH and is just a perfect bass for me in so many ways. But, the more I play this one, the more I like it, especially in a band setting. It’s an absolute beast but is versatile enough to be tamed when needed and it gives me any kind of tone I need, just like my Stingray. But it doesn't fit me as well ergonomically as my Stingray does and it’s noticeably heavier, so it misses out on the #1 spot. But, if I never owned a Stingray, I could easily see this being my #1, lifer bass. Not a bad bass for a #2.
