Update, I'm up to 11 now with a 12th on order. I'm probably gonna let a few go once my custom comes in November, but for now, here's my stable:

  1. 1990's Roscoe LG-3005 (my number 1 that will be buried with me)
  2. 1974 Hagstrom HII BN (my first vintage and first short scale bass)
  3. 1979 Ibanez Studio ST-925 (heavy as a house, but amazing tone)
  4. 1960s Kent 822 Hollowbody (bought from Jake Serek on a deal, fun change of pace)
  5. Dingwall 1st Gen Combustion 5 (for when I'm feeling metal)
  6. Nodrstrand Acinonyx Cat Bass (still haven't fully bonded with this one yet)
  7. Bordwell Dola 5 (got on trade to check out, really enjoy it so far)
  8. Supro Huntington II (killer short scale that I love gigging with)
  9. Yamaha BB1025x (was looking for a BB for the sound, but fell in love with this version with the metal control plate)
  10. Epiphone Embassy (kept as a cheap beater bass to have as a backup, but the neck is a bit chunky for my taste)
  11. Modded SX Jazz 5 (heavily modded and partially functional, haha)
and a 12th on order from Fidelity Guitars

Which of the Lincolns do you like best? I'm looking at one and having a hard time deciding on the configuration. I do want a taste of the G. Grabber sound.
 
I was working on a song and there was a T-Mobile commercial on tv at the time. I wrote lyrics about T-Mobile and sent it over to them on Twitter, just playing acoustic on a video. Didn't really expect anything from it, but they sent me a direct message a month or two later asking for my address. I thought they were going to send me a t-shirt and a T-Mobile branded grill kit like they were giving away at the time, but after a few weeks, this big box showed up. Opened it up, and there it was.

They sent me a Magenta-colored Player Series Jaguar Bass. Not sure if they had Fender paint it a custom color or someone else, but based on the box it came in, it started life as a Capri Orange Jag, and the finish is flawless.

I had a friend make a sticker I can easily remove so I can cover up the T-Mobile logo if I play it out.

Great color! Play it out with the T on it. If anyone asks tell them your names Tim
