* Spector Timbre Natural, 2019 (my newest)
* Hondo II P-Bass clone, circa 1985, the first bass I ever owned.
* Univox 'Lectra Fretless, 1970's (?), I have had since I bought at a pawn shop in 1987
* Univox 'Lectra Fretted, 1970's (also uncertain of exact year), bought in 2019 for 5x the price of my first Lectra.
* Squier Vintage Modified 70's Jazz (with additional and terrible paint modification)
* The neck of my Squier VM '70's fretless (Jaco-esque), the rest of which + a Warmoth replacement neck is at my drummer's house
* Olympic White Player Series Fretless Jazz, 2018
* Black Spector Performer, (mid 2000-s?)

Looks like I need to change my vote. I'm now at 5.

Dingwall NG-2 5-string (Matte Pearl Ducati White)
Ibanez SR650E (Natural Browned Burst Flat)
Ibanez SRH500F Aerium fretless 4-string (Natural Browned Burst Flat)
Samick Greg Bennett Corsair MCR-1 (black)

And I'm doing a trade with my Bongo right now, for a NS Design Omni Bass CR5.

The second picture? What is the difference with her signature bass?
Thundergun:
SPLIT BRICK NECK
Strong lows and highs, open mids. Like a vintage P bass pickup but with more beef, yet retains clarity. 43 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 8.5K ohms.

THICK BRICK BRIDGE
Warm and thick with strong mids. Output and punch like an active, but more organic sounding. 42 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 7K ohms.

The signature bass:
P-BLADE
Captures the classic P-bass character, but with increased volume, sustain, clarity, and extended low end response. 42 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 12K ohms.
