I have three as of now. A 77 PBass (PJ modded), a 1983 Rick 4003, and I just bought a 68 Telecaster bass.
Would still like a fretless, but other than that I think I'm good with what I have.
Wrppphhhhh, mine are a lot lower end than most here I guess.
Ibanez SR300 is my main bass, just got that in the fall.
Currently have some DiMarzio's on order to upgrade my other one, which is just a Squier P-Bass. Plan to use that as a backup at gigs, or maybe just detuned for certain songs or some such.
I have six lefties, and am done for a good long time. May sell one or two now that the new Zon is taking up most of my playing time.
Carvin LB-70 (No. 1 bass for past 12 years)
Carvin B4 (backup for LB-70/alternate tunings)
Zon VB-4, custom 32" scale (newly acquired to take over the bulk of my practice time for back/neck health reasons, but could displace LB-70)
Carvin B5K fretless (covers my rare fretless and 5-string needs)
Gibson Flying V (lefty conversion, just for fun at this point; may sell)
Goldtone PBB Resonator (acoustic jams, etc.)
- Cort GB5 Custom (This one is my go-bass, Seymor Duncar Quarter Pounders J on neck and HB on bridge)
- Cort A5 OPBC (This is a beauty with Bart's MK1 pickups and pre, strung with DR Black Beauties)
- Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V (New Kid in Town, 2000 model, cleaning and setup almost done, will strung with EB Flats)
Just 2. Though if I didn't have a mortgage, a car payment and 3 kids, I'd have a least a dozen.
1983 Fender Precision, tuned BEAD, former number 1 bass for 20 plus years, now my back up bass and my kids primary bass since he's into prog/djent and the low tuning fits his style more than mine.
Squier Jaguar Short Scale, new #1 because of years of wear and tear on my hands, but I am going to tweak the hell out of it, first thing up is getting rid of that wimpy J pup at the bridge.
