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

[Wesley R]

1. '72 fretless P burst
2. Ampeg AEB-1 (I think) F hole with scroll
3. '76 Guild JSII
4. Gibson EB-1
5. Gibson EB2D
6 '68 Guild semi hollow in cherry
7. Glaub
8. G&L year and model TBD
9. Ric year and model TBD
10. G&L the tele looking one, in butterscotch

Not the most highly valued or popular, just what I would like to have, or have owned in the past (some, certainly not all)

Best of Luck,
Wesley R.

OK, just joined the forum because I felt that I HAD TO ad to this thread

In no particular order:

- very, very early Esh 4-string (around '88-'89 I believe)

- LeFay Pangton 6-string

- Warwick Thumb 6-string neck-through

- Kubicki Ex-factor fretless

- Status headless Graphite neck-through 4-string

- Auerswald Cleo ( with sustain-bow )

- Zon Hyperbass

- Leduc U-bass fretless 5-string

- Wal 10-string

- Warwick Nobby Meidel ( for sentimental reasons )

Can one tell that I'm a child of the 80's ?

If I could have only ten, I would get the ten most $$$$ I could find. I'd keep my Roscoe and my Cirrus and sell the other eight. After I returned from my fabulous vacation, I would have my driveway repaved, garage floor dug up and resurfaced, new Dri Loc paint put on my basement walls, and when all that was finished, I would sit down and watch my new 60" high def. TV.

Actually I've always dreamed of the Ox's house... Basses hanging on the walls, side by side, all over the house

Remember he had about 30 J's...

My choices would be:

1 4 string fretless with very dark lines
1 5er
1 acoustic 4 string
1 ESP LTD B-50 - I don't want to part with my first bass
1 Invalid Link Removed

( I'm saving the other 5 for later )

I posted here a while ago, but my GAS has changed a little...
-Fender 1960 Jazz Bass (original)
-Fender 1975 Jazz Bass (original)
-Fender 1963 Precision (original)
-Rickenbacker 4003
-Gibson Thunderbird 1963
-Musicman Stingray 3EQ
-Fender Jazz Bass, midnight wine, fretless (got that)
-Yamaha TRB5PII
-Benavente SCB Burl Maple top
-Fodera Emperor II Walnut

I'll probably miss a couple off basses here. So what

 

[Fender32]

Well, I do collect basses (I can hear the "boos" and "hisses", even all the way over here in Germany ) and this Wednesday, my first ever Wal Custom is due to arrive, taking my total bass count to 10 (conveniently enough, for this thread).

So, in theory, I already have my 10 . The problem is, one of them is an OLP 5-string (great budget bass, mind you), so I may have to lose that one and replace it with a nice 70's Jazz Bass.

 

[T-MOST]

I don't think there are 10 basses I would actually want. I would be done by 5 maybe 6. And thats just because I "could" have them.

1. My 2 Roscoe SKB 3005's
3. Sadowsky NYC Jazz 5
4. Ken Smith Black Tiger 5
5. MTD USA 535
6. Lakland Darryl Jones 5

Thats it fellas. I don't need any acoustics or fretless basses because The Gospel, R&B and Smooth Jazz I regularly play don't require them.
