if you could have 10 and ONLY 10 basses...

[superbassman2000]

1. My Hambone fairlane 4
2. Hambone fairlane 6
3. Peavey Grind NTB 6 w/midi
4. Fodera Monarch 4
5. Conklin 7 w/midi
6. Fender Bass VI
7. G&L L2500 5 string w/low B
8. Fender '75 Jazz reissue
9. Fender marcus miller 5 w/high C
10. Rob Allan mouse

 

[Brad Johnson]

Brubakers:
NBS-1 w/Bart J pickups 5
K6 Custom -blackburst 6
K5-BNC Custom fretless 5

Elricks:
New Jazz Standard 5
New Jazz Standard custom semihollow fretless 5

MTD: Ash/Wenge 635 6
Tobias:
Omega 4 and 5

Fender: 78 Ash/Maple Jazz 4

Fodera: Anthony Jackson Contrabass 6


If I 'had" to get down to 10. I'd easily be set with these, all in my current rotation except for the Tobiases. For daily use I'd substitute my Brubaker Xtreme 5 with preamp modules and my long lost Teal Ash/Maple singlecut K5B Brubaker 5.

I'd still want to play my Ambush too.


I still haven't checked out a JP... yet. Screw it... 10 doesn't work for me

either someone is vrey confident, or very unsure about their sexuality

 

[markjazzbassist]

yeah i changed mine again

Fender American Vintage '75 Reissue Jazz
Fender American Vintage '62 Reissue Precision
Fender Time Machine NOS '64 Jazz

i changed my mind, i want only 3 now. that's all i need.

 

[bradjonesbass]

Pedulla Pentabuzz
NS5 eub
G&L L2500 - which I do have - far superior to a Music Man
Tobias Basic 5 - for Gospel
Martin B5 - nearly impossible to find - one of each, fretted and fretless
Roscoe - SKB 6, fretted and fretless
MTD - 535
Lakland - 55-94

That should cover it. I'm surprised the closest thing I have to a vintage type axe is the G&L... I'm in love with 5-string though.

 

[fretless Bob]

1. fodera imperial 5, seymour duncan dual coils, w/ ash body and a buckeye burl top and ebony board
2. fodera lined fretless imperial 5,symour duncan dual coils, w/ ash body and a buckeye burl top and ebony board.

8. zon sonus 6 fretted
9. zon sonus 5 fretless
10. overwater 6 string fretted progress III (i actually own this one)

well a guy can dream can't he

to be honest though i think that if i had the foderas and the zons i would be sorted.


Dave


ok so i have some revisions,

1 my Fodera (in my avater)
2 a fretless imperial 5
3 Fodera Matt Garrison E-C
4 Fodera NYC with a malpe neck
5 pre ernie ball MM
6 1962/63/64 Fender Jazz bass
7 a wal mkIII 5 fretless
8 f bass 5
9 active 5 string Jazz (maybe a sadowsky)
10 headless Sei 6 flamboyant

i wish i could have half of those, but in all honesty my Fodera the Fretless Fodera and the Fender would be all i would really need, the rest would be nice though


Dave

 

[John D Harris]

Skjold Custom 5,
Sadowsky PJ5 (rev P) & a Modern 5,
Dingwall 5,
Conklin Custom 5,
Rob Allen Deep 5,
Tyler Custom 5,
Fender Roscoe Beck V (two: one w/roundwounds & one w/flatwound strings),
&
Some custom 5 with Aaron Armstrong PUPs in a tubro arrangement (or maybe just one PUP together with RMC Piezo system).

Pretty much unchanged, except I'd like a neo-Roscoe Beck V with a small 'J'-type Northern Ash body with Nordstrand Dual-Coil PUPs and a by-passable preamp (Aguilar OBP-1 or OBP-3) -- it would probably replace one of the Fender RB-V's.

I also might replace the RA Deep 5 with a modded Lakland 55-01 (Bart Quad-coil narrow aperture PUPs and an OBP-3 preamp) -- "love Lakland's necks". I think that would make a very reasonably priced, excellent-sounding bass.

 

[FalextheFalex]

1. Claypool's CT Anti-Matter
2. Fodera Monarch 4-string (Flame Koa)
3. Ric 4003 4-string (FireGlo)
4. Fender USA Deluxe Jazz 4-string (Black with Red tort pick-guard)
5. Spector Legend 5-string (Amberburst)
6. Ken Smith Fusion 5MS (Cocobolo)
7. Peavey Cirrus 6-string (Koa)
8. Zon Hyperbass 5-string (Bubinga)
9. Ernie Ball Stringray 4-string (Honeyburst)
10. G&L ASAT semi-hollow 4-string (clear blue)

Well, this is all based on the prettyness factor, for the fact that the only music store that doensn't carry Ibanez, Silvertone, and Dean exclusively is about 150 miles away, DAMN YOUS SMALL TOWNS!!!
