You said "third pickup" so I was expecting three pickups. I guess this was the third pickup you tput in that position?
It's a gorgeous bass!

Maybe a Thunderbird will choose you and become #11.

I'm in my minimalist era, just 2 basses. A parts Precision that I made the body for myself that's setup for standard tuning, and a Carvin PB4 that I have setup for BEAD tuning. At my peak I had 5 or more, including vintage, custom made, and oddball stuff. I'm a real paragon of taste and restraint now lol

 

[steve_kyle]

Just one, right now. Squier Affinity PJ bass.

 

[RavenousPoe]

I currently have 7, and it's hard to imagine selling any!

1.) 2022 Warwick Corvette Bubinga Standard 5 string
2.) 2003 Warwick Corvette flamed maple 5 string
3.) Schecter CV5 (See pfp)
4.) Spector NS Pulse II
5.) Fender MIM P Bass
6.) Rickenbacker 4003 Fireglo
7.) SBMM Stingray

The 2003 Warwick is a project bass that'll be my #1 once it is finished, replacing the CV5. The 2022 Vette is my studio only bass, I got it for a killer deal and couldn't afford another if anything happened to it, but it is my most loved (and most heavy) by a long shot.

I've had a HUGE restructure in the past year! Sold most of them, and acquired some new ones.

Now, the list is:
1. ESP M-1004
2. Fender Player P Bass - With a Badass III Bridge and an EMG GZR, soon to have an EMG PX.
3. Sterling Sub Ray4 - Modded with a Hipshot Xtender, EMG Ceramic Active Pickup and no preamp, just V&T.
4. Sterling Sub Ray4 - Modded with a Hipshot Xtender, EMG Ceramic Passive Pickup and EMG BTC.

The ESP M-1004 has been my #1 since I've switched entirely to D# Standard / Drop C# for both of my bands. It sounds epic and has been professionally setup, although I do typically perform my own setups. #2's EMG GZR recently has developed an issue I just couldn't fix no matter what I tried, and I'm excited to try another voice for it! #3 & #4 don't get played these days, and have essentially been designated as backups.

Theme? Theme? What theme?

NOTES:
I sold the 2009 Epiphone Thunderbird PRO V that I listed in the 2019 post.
All basses are strung with Ernie ball Chrome Flats.
Other than the ADGC (detuned BEAD) bass, all basses are tuned DGCF.

Two

 

[eddiditfirst]

Recently scaled down to just the two.
‘66 Precision and a ‘78 Musicmaster.
I had Dunlops on them both in this picture, but they both have La Bellas now. Not knocking the Dunlops, they very much have their place, i just prefer the La Bella thing.
