5 would be tuned F#-B-E-A-D-G-C

6, 7- F#-B-E-A-D-G-C-F

and 10 would be tuned B-E-A-D-G-C.

1-9 would all have magnetic, synth and piezo pickups.

Damn JT how is it that you always make the most popular threads? I tried to beat you with my Endorsement on Basses and Endorsement on Amps. And I'm still close behind. I'll get you my pretty and your doubleneck bass, too!

no, my collection will be better than yours.... give me some time

Really though, The conklins are there so I have a bolt on and through neck version of each. my 8s would be cooler than yours plus, you dont have a ritter (yet) or the upright 6

but by then, you don't wanna even _THINK_ about where my collection will be

 

[geshel]

Hmm. I'd never play more than a few.

1,2. My two Hanewinckels

3. Hanewinckel 6-string bolt-on with padauk/maple neck, ebony (maybe wenge?) fretboard, mahogany body, cocobolo top. Pickup locations like my fretless. Or, in a perfect world, Wal pickups and electronics.

3. Warr 8-string

Not basses, but: my Ovation Legend, and something like my PRS but with an oil-finished padauk/maple neck with V-contour to match the Ovation's. Hey, the tuning I use goes down into the baritone range at least!

There are lots I'd like to have available (Ric, MM5, etc), and/or check out (F BN-6, Basslab STD or L-Bow, etc). But I feel bad enough that I don't play my Stick much anymore.

I have two basses that are vastly different. If were collecting I would have

1 Precision
2 Jazz
3 Clevinger
4 Wal Midi 4
5 Ashbory MkII
6 Zon Hyper bass with a lightwave
7 Warr 10 string
8 One of them Ken Lawrence semi acoustics
9 Conklin Sidewinder 8 tuned to std and piccolo
10 U bass

I think that gives me everything

 

[Rodan]

1. MTD 535
2. Elrick Bolt-On 5
3. Zon Sonus fretless 5
4. Pedulla Pentabuzz
5. Rob Allen fretless 5
6. Modulus Q6
7. Warwick Streamer Stage II (5-string)
8. Wal Mach I (4-string)
9. '62 Fender Jazz Reissue or Lakland Joe Osborn
10. Ken Lawrence Brase or Benavente Singlecut or R Bass Singlecut

There are just too many to choose from. Granted, I've only tried about half of the basses on my list, but it's a pretty nice wishlist.

that was easy!!!

Adrian

The Seraph was probably the first bass I ever saw on the web and fell in love with. Didn't you almost own this recently, or was it someone else?

Dude it's for sale at Link Removed

3k is a wonderful price for that bass! Get it while you can.

 

[adrian garcia]

i second that- i had the Seraph for a bit- only reason i let it go was it wasnt a slap friendly bass withthe pupt so far back and at that price, it cant be lacking- but it is one of the best basses ive ever played

 

[Fuzzbass]

I'll try 2 ways:

Collection from just one builder? MTD. Amazing variety of woods and finishes!


10 of any? Hmmm....

Sadowsky ultra-vintage 5-string P-bass. (You didn't say the bass had to actually exist...)
Music Man Sabre 5 (ditto!)
MTD 535
Fender RB5
Fender Custom Shop Precision 5
Modulus Quantum 5
Warwick Streamer Stage I 5
Darren Huff Z-series 5
Fodera Emperor 5 (doublecut)
Ken Smith 5, exhibition grade, with "wide 5" spacing

I like the way you think, Fuzz!

 

[Brad Johnson]

I still don't consider myself a collector... I play everything I own. What would I get that I don't have? Maybe nothing, I'm always curious about basses I haven't touched but I'm extremely happy with what I have.

4. Carvin LB76 sixer fretless
5. 79 Fender P fretless
