Nice! I've got a '78 I scored a few years back same deal. I don't play it all that much but when I do it's really a joy.

78-79 Precision Fretless

Sweet Mikey !! Mine's in natural finish , but they look exactly the same at quick glance !! I'm the same way . I only play it at home , & on special occasions . Would never trust taking it to a gig !!
So somebody forgot about yours too , 40 yrs ago ?? It's great finding these guitars that people buy , play for a short time , then put away in the closet or under the bed , & forget about them !! Damn , mine even came with the original hang tag manual!
You have a beauty of a bass there my friend . Enjoy !!

I got mine from someone on ebay. It apparently belonged to a doctor who played it only occasionally in a jazz band back in the day, then it sat under the bed for years undisturbed. That's the story I got anyway. I guess whether it's true or not isn't important. I just know I got a bass I want for a decent price. I did actually "gig" it once but just a short 3 song set.

3, because one is on consignment and i guess it technically still belongs to me

Latest roll call:

2016 Marleaux Consat Custom 6
1999 Warwick Thumb BO6
2010 MM Stingray 2-band eq
2015 Furch CB61-5 5-string acoustic
???? Frankenbass

My Peavey Grind 6 with upgraded electronics now lives at a friend's studio, doing recording work but I guess it's still technically mine. Nice bass but I don't miss it.

Oh and don't get me started on my guitar collection... That's an entirely different vice and sometimes gets me in more trouble at home LOL

There's a great online seller ( eBay, Instagram) just to name two . His handle is CWH1 I believe , out of San Diego . I've bought from him , & did my homework prior . I've seen him mentioned on other blogs from a few years back , & read nothing but good remarks . Example , on Ebay he's had approximately 3,500 + sales , & he's still at 100% Positive feedback. Plus he has a 14 day return policy. . He's got some real sweet guitars & basses !! I believe his name is Chris . I'm pretty sure some of you heard of him

 

[ENG4]

I only have three electrics. Stop me if you've heard this one, Three American Basses go into a studio....
2012 G&L ASAT, 2016 G&L JB, and a 2001 Fender P-bass... I'm not real good at telling jokes...

 

[cmcbass]

I have two Indonesian cheapies. A sub Ray 4 that I refinished. Since I took this picture I put in an Aguilar pickup, tossed on a black kick-ass bridge, and some black knobs. The other is a schecter stiletto stealth 5, which I feel looks kinda cheesy, but I only paid $200 dollars for it.

 

[bdooijes]

My lefty basses at the moment:

- Rickenbacker 4003
- Sandberg California JJ
- Fender P Bass USA
- Musicman Stingray
- Ibanez Blazer
- Westone Thunder I
- Squier P Bass Korea
- Squier VM Jazz Bass
- Washburn Stage Series B5 (Nothing special, but the only lefty i have ever seen)
- Bach NR Thunderbird
- Hofner Ignition Violin bass

 

[Paulabass]

I am at my limit- All my stands are full up. 10 really good basses. I have room on my wall for two more Les Pauls, but that is a different forum.

 

[Hover-Rich]

Tacoma Thunderchief 4
Peavey 4
Ric 4003 5
Alembic Epic 5
Double Bass German 19-teens 4

 

[Woofer]

Up to 5 now.

Fender jazz, black label
Squier Affinity jazz 5
Short scale p (SX, I think)
Ibanez ex series 4
Cort headless/fretless

 

[mesaplayer83]

I'm at 19 currently...

 

[Johnny Crab]

Too many to list but you can call 867-5309 to hear it run.

 

[iplay5]

Music Man Stingray 5
Steinberger XQ 5
Carvin SB5000
Yamaha BB3000
Fender Jazz fretless

I own 1 really good one and a good pre-pedal. If I played more often I could possibly see adding a fretless and maybe...no, just two.
Besides curiosity (and being single) I don't see why folks would need multiple basses.
Okay, maybe a cool vintage bass, but that's it.

 

[Algo]

Welp, I'm up a bass.

I swear I didn't want this to happen. I had made a 2x1 trade to get down to 3 a few weeks ago.

But a retailer closing and clearing and a defective volume pot rendering a bass useless, except it wasn't, made me go up to 5.
NBD topic to come.

So my list is as follows, from oldest in my possession to newest.
Epi Rock Bass
Ibanez TMB 100
Ibanez SR 905CNF (Defretted)*
LTD B206SM*
Yamaha BB425*

*Will be featured in my NBsWs (New Basses Weeks) topic as soon as I get the pictures, that I actually would've taken anyway for security and such, so why not showing them.

So the question is, selling or trading my Epi to get a better 4 stringer, getting a used 4, or getting a used 6er.
