How many basses this Year?

[fourstringdrums]

Your "Decidedly Undecided" tag under your name makes me laugh. I do enjoy your frequent NBD posts though!

I didn't choose that tag randomly ya know

 

[God's Favorite Bass]

Bought:
1 MIM Sunburst Mike Dirnt Bass
2 MIM Cabronita Precision Basses (1 black, 1 candy apple red)
1 MIJ candy apple red Deluxe Jaguar Bass
2 Geddy Lee Jazz Basses (MIM black and MIJ sunburst)
1 transparent red/flamed maple MIJ Aerodyne Precision Bass
1 candy apple red US American Vintage Hot Rod Jazz Bass (anniversary gift from the best wife ever (literally, the first two weren't so cool, this one says they are like art and encourages their purchase constantly...best wife ever.))

Built:
Black/tort/rosewood Jazz Bass

Sold:
1 sunburst Reverse Jaguar Bass and 1 black MIM Mike Dirnt Bass

Bought:
Ashdown Perfect 10 head and Ampeg Classic 1x15 cab for "living room rig" and a Fender Bassman pro 4x10 cab (using same trusty Peavey MKVIII head) for out of the house fun-time and just can't bring myself to get rid of that 2x15 cab

I think that the main thing about this bass is...the tort truss cover!

FYI there is one on the bay now. Just mentioning it because I am afraid I might have some explaining to do, i.e. "This is nothing like the Godin! It has F holes! Look...tort truss cover!"

I think I could get her to understand...and it's still 2014!

Happy holidays all.

Yeah, I threw a lowball bid on that, not sure I want to try to chase it, given how much I've blown on basses in the past week.

(And the great thing about being an old bachelor - no explaining to do, other than to myself - though that can get rather tricky as well!)

Thanks man. I was going to wait until it's finished, which will be around May or June.

 

[Bent77]

Thanks man. I was going to wait until it's finished, which will be around May or June. Maybe I should do a Mod thread? I'll be replacing the pickups, harnesses, pickguards, truss rod covers, tailpieces, bridges and a few other things. It's a 'Rutherford', like my avatar.

Build threads can be great motivators

I wasn't sure if I should do one. We'll see. As for motivation, I doubt I'll need much! I've wanted that bass for oh.....40 years now.

 

[Bent77]

Hey, everyone needs one their threads locked at least once! It's how you know you are living on the edge!

So true. Well, the second one I have on order for this year is also a doubleneck. Now that's on the edge, lol.
PS: Yes I have a good back and I'll be mounting both doubles on MBrace playing stands.

 

[R&B]

Bought a 1983 Tokai TPB-64 (AWESOME!!!)

Sold a Kustom KXB500, then bought another one.

Sold a 2011 Fender Honeyburst American Special Precision

Gave away a Squier CV60 Jazz

Bought a Squier CV60 Precision in sonic blue to replace the one I foolishly traded

Bought a 2002 Lakland Skyline DJ4 in CAR with BnB maple neck (pearloid blocks) -sweet!!!

Bought a 2014 G&L LB-100 in Old School Tobacco Burst - super playable!!

Bought a Genz Benz Contour 500 115 combo - nice and portable

Bought an Ampeg B-100R for the band practice space

Bought a 1990s Fender Japan '75 reissue Jazz in natural ash with BnB maple neck (pearloid blocks) -a real butt-kicker!

Whole lotta buyin' and not much sellin'....

 

[drumsnbass]

Bought or traded for:

Pedulla Thunderbass 5 (17.5mm)
Pedulla Hexabuzz 6 (17.5mm)
Pedulla MVP5 (17.5mm)
Novaes 5
Warwick $$ CS 6 string fretless (awaiting delivery)

Traded and sold:

Sadowsky Metro 5
Zon 5/2
Pedulla Pentabuzz (19mm)

Still looking to part with:

Zon 519 fretless
Warwick Streamer 5 passive (not RockBass)
NS Designs EUB

Eventually want to get the stable to 5 basses and keep it at that number. Realistically I could end up at 20 or more if I did not watch myself.

 

[Tim1]

I too got a little carried away, sold nothing and bought:
63 jazz - my holy grail and I couldn't turn down the opportunity
Warwick Alien acoustic
Fender Jaco artist signature jazz
Fender fiftieth anniversary jazz
Dingwall Combustion fiver
Fender sixtieth anniversary precision

 

[xroads]

Bought a Squier JV Precision. Don't need it (play mostly 5er JB), but couldn't pass on a good deal on it.
Nice to have a P-sound in my arsenal now...
