Dear Fellaz & Fellazettes !

I changed my votes to 1 bass.
Sold the RMI Quantum a week or so ago. Still have the Fame Baphomet & Ibanez BTB846SC-DTL here at home but since i put them up for sale here in Spain & France i haven't used them at all & consider they're not mine anymore. So yeah, just one, a Squier CV Pbass. Plan to get a short scale to travel light further down the road..

Is your CV bass a P, J or other? I used to have one each. Of those I really liked the P. It was Pretty decent.

Here are a few. I still need more stands to bring out the rest of them. Anyone know of a stand for headless basses with the tuners on the body side?

I just picked up one of these for my Steinberger, works great which is lucky since it seems to be one of the very few wall options for headless units. Not a stand, but still...

Fender Precision (MIJ E-Series, AMStand, Parts Bass #1, Parts Bass #2)
Warmoth Dinky Jazz
Lakland (55-01, 55-02)

Epiphone EA-260
Gibson Thunderbird
and my baby... 1978 Gibson RD Artist

more to come... but not too many (I have to keep the War Dept. happy)

LOL my war department is fairly robust, so I need a few additions to the USO! I've been thinking sleek, dark and Japanese! Her name is Aerodyne!

WOW... A lot has changed in the past 8 years.
What's still in the stable?
Fender Jazz ('75RI)
Fender Precision (MIJ E-Series)
MusicMan SUB-5
Gibson Thunderbird
and my baby... 1978 Gibson RD Artist

Since then I've added:
Fender Jazz, P, Jaguar (6 or so), Rickenbacker 4003, Spectors (2), Warwick, Nordys (2),
Sadowsky, Lakland, Hofner, Status, Waterstone, Yamaha, and even a Steinberger somewhere.
There's also a collection of 6-stringers and ukeleles (for some weird reason).

And to answer my previous question, The War Dept. is definitely NOT happy. Might have to thin the herd. Again.
