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

[NoBlackTShirts]

Two Precision Basses. One with roundwound strings, one with flats. If that ain't right there ain't no right.

I know MIMs tend to vary a lot in quality, but this one was very sweet with a great neck, no dead spots...real nice feel.

What HE said! Sounds like mine!

Fender P Bass Lyte

I seen pictures of them, but have never had my hands on one. Tell us more?

 

[the harp unstrung]

I just acquired an acoustic bass

I play my Tacoma big body acoustic bass more often that any other...I hope you enjoy yours as I've enjoyed mine!

'74 Guild M-85 II Bluesbird Bass

I got to play an M-85 sometime around 1975-76, and that is when I fell in love with "Guild"...and then my best friend bought a Guild acoustic guitar...and I fell in love again. You've got to consider, 1975 was not that far removed from the end of "The Monkees", and Peter Tork played a Guild, much like the M-85...if not the same guitar. Gotta tel ya...I'm verging on jealousy...

 

[FrenchBassQC]

I have in my stall:

1- An Eliezer Lara Jazz Custom bass (my fav one)
2- A Fender P-Bass American Special bass (replaced the bridge, the PU's and electronic controls)
3- Sadowshy MS5
4- BassMods 5 string Fretless
5- Roscoe LG3005

Fender MIA 5 string J bass

The reason I couldn't imagine owning a Jazz Bass is because, to my mind, things get so crowded down below the 3rd fret. I don't know what I'd do with 5 strings down there! Is it as thin / crowded as I imagine?

I got the last piece of my dream rig. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. Final count: 5 (counting the double neck once and not counting the MOOG pedals that think they are a bass guitar...);

91 Rickenbacker 4001CS (#365) -Classic
05 Ibanez SR1000 Prestige -Speedy
98 Stingray 5 Fretless -Cool
14 Logical Doubleneck 12/4 string -Weird
02 Zeta Fretless 4 electric upright -Huh?

<---Me.

Well, it's Japanese-made from 1994 and it has active P and J pick up configuration, with treble and bass boost/cut knobs, pan knob for both pick ups, and of course volume. It's body is a little lighter/smaller than a standard P (from what I remember, it's been a long time since I played a standard P, though) and a Jazz neck on it. Mine is in red finish with gold hardware, and it does have a punchy tone to it. It's in a little rough shape right now (a lot of the paint chipped off and it has a short,) so it's been retired for the time being until I can get it repaired. It was my main bass for over a decade and has been used on recordings and everything else. It was a good work horse and served me well.

30. I have stopped now but have gas for a Ric 4003W.

[Paul LF]

I don't blame you, that would be GAS worthy.

 

[jd56hawk]

Only four, but I have this crazy feeling that this is only the beginning.

 

[Eggpunch]

Only two. So far...

I think the options could have been better presented near the end of the list though, its like saying once a bass player runs out of fingers and toes they can't count any higher

Hey, what's the story with the pink Jazz Bass? Is that some custom shop model?

 

[jd56hawk]

A board member here...local guy...built it. He also did this one.

 

[Paul LF]

That's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a pink bass or especially an orange one. It's not like you see a ton of them.
