How long have you owned you main player ?

[coreyfyfe]

About three years for my 78 jazz. I'd like to say it's still my main player, but in the 6 months or so that I've had my G3 the jazz has unfortunately taken a back seat. I don't know why, I really love the tone of the jazz, I've used it on all my recordings since I've owned it, but for gigging the G3 has really been the go-to bass lately. It really stands out and has a very unique tone.

Just swapped back to it after usin my ESP 35" for a few shows and feels like I have returned home. I love my Jazz.

I got my '95 MIM about a year ago and modded the hell out of it. I plan on keeping it for some time.

My new love is my American Vintage '62 Reissue P Bass, purchased in August. So, about 5 months. Haven't put it down since. I played a Deluxe Active Jazz that I got in '02 before that. Now it is my backup.
