How many basses do you own? (Currently) Part 2

[eastcoasteddie]

This is my 4th posting in this thread…I had to search my older posts to see where I left off…

Still have the ‘96 L2500. It’s not going anywhere.

Then there’s the “Poor Man’s” version of a Sandberg TM2…I call it my S[qu]andberg.
I don’t think I can modify this bass any more….well, I can but don’t want to…

My Squier VM Jazz V got a Warmoth roasted maple neck earlier this year.

And finally my fretless parts bass.

My official “beater bass” is a 2021 Ibanez TMB100 that I modified with a $15 ceramic MM pickup from Amazon.

I’m thinking about doing a full Warmoth build as the last bass I’ll ever buy. I’m on the fence about doing a straight up Stingray clone or do a P/MM like my TMB…though I’d like it to have the MM in the Stingray sweet spot. When you order a Warmoth body with P/MM routes, they are positioned exactly as my TMB. The only way I think I can get what I want is to order it with only the P route, and then have the MM route done in the correct Stingray position, which would be directly butted up under the P.

Since it is only in thought at this point, I haven’t figured out any logistics on how I can get that done…

It's my retirement, haven't done an inventory in over a year but I do know it's pushing the 100 mark if not over.


Just picked a really cool MIJ Fender HM IV.

Sold a Sire V7 last week. I am down to 15 now and hoping to sell another 3; only to get replaced by a higher value bass .

Um, how many?

In order of preference:
1. Rob Allen MB2 (Perfect!)
2. Palatino Upright (a beater but perfect for what I use it for)
3. Godin Acoustibass (Really good too)
4. Ibanez Mikro (Really good for travel)
5. Godin A4 (Good, but a little shy of high end)
6. Ibanez SRF705 (Beautiful 5'er, but the string spacing is just a tad too close)
7. Bolin 5 (Gorgeous, but a bit of a ski jump fingerboard)

All are fretless

I had 5 basses in December...a Michael Kelly Dragonfly 5, Fender American Pro jazz V, Fender American Pro Precision, Lakland 55-94 and a U.S. made Peavey Cirrus 6 string in Redwood. Recently sold the 2 Fenders but just purchased a Lakland Skyline 55-02 Deluxe in Spalted maple and rosewood fretboard so now down to 4....but a nice 4.

Looks like a P bass but with jazz pickups? Are those 2 knobs volume and tone?

It is neither fish nor fowl. Made by Squier in China called the Paranormal '54 Jazz bass. It has an offset Jazz body with '54 P bass pick guard and control panel. J bass pups and stacked neck and bridge vol./tone knobs. And tone 'til next Tuesday..!

I should post a pic with this- I just snuck in a sixth, Ray 5 HH, but I'm still polling 5-9.

#9 is in the front. #10 should arrive this month!

I just have my bass I made when I was 16 and my Warwick Corvette I picked up a few years ago. Really keen on getting Jazz bass in the near future, something completely non-Warwicky for a change.

I have seven, which, according to the votes cast so far is average for Talkbass. So its not true, I am normal!

Ibanez SG500 and Yamaha BB434
MIM Standard P bass with Geezer Butler EMG pup, MIM Player Jazz with Di Marzio ultra Jazz pups
Balaguer Goliath

Absolutely love the look of the Yamaha BB, got my eyes on the 734A in the transparent black. Looks so good.

Solid basses BBs, however, I'm probably going to sell mine. It's basically a P bass; the J pup adds a bit of top end but isn't really usable on its own, the output is a fair bit lower than the split coil. The 734A should be better in that being active you could get more output from the J pup and hopefully have a P bass and a J bass in one, which is what I was looking for in a PJ.
