2. Alleva copollo LM5
3. 1951 fender pbass (all original)
4. all original 1959 Pbass

6. ACG recurve 5
7. Rickenbacker 4003
8. Wal MK2
9. ibanez sr5005 prestige
10. The platnum ritter.

Agree or disagree this is what my dreams are made of.

 

[meRTKendrew]

ibanez blazer
EBMM Stingray5
Gibson EB-2D
a vintage Jazz, maybe a roadworn
Fretless P
P with a couple of darkstars in it

maybe a single coil p, a tele bass and/or an EB-3L, a thunderbird..

thats 10, the last four dont give me terrible gas, but theyd be cool.

edit, id like an upright of some kind.

10 basses?!?!?? After 6 years of playing, I've just spent about 4 months saving for my 3rd (the other two are worth about £600 combined)!

I guess I'd have 10 Ritter Royals and carry all of them everywhere I went!

 

[lneal]

I'd keep my:
1) Modulus Q5
2) StingRay 5
3) G&L L2000E

And add:
4) Modulus Q5 fretless w/Barts
5) Modulus Q5 fretless sweet spot w/EMG
6) Modulus Q6 w/Barts
7) Modulus Q5 fretted sweet spot
8) The Roscoe 7-string that Gard brought to the get together
9) Sadowsky 4-string Jazz bass
10) '76 MM Stingray

Of course there's more but.......

Since 7 years have lapsed and my wants have changed some, here's my updated list:

I'd still keep my:
1) Modulus Q5
2) StingRay 5
3) G&L L2000E
And add:
4) Roscoe 5 string fretless
5) NS Designs EUB
6) Modulus Q6
7) Sadowsky 4 string Jazz
8) A decent DB
9) A grungy, well used old Fender P
10) Modulus Q5 Sweetspot fretless.

There really never is enough, is there??

 

[mremic01]

10 seems like a lot to me, but i guess I've already got 4 basses and 4 guitars.

I'd have:

2 EBMM StingRays
2 PJs
2 Geddy Lee Jazzes
2 Fender Ps
2 Gibson Grabbers

I'd keep my Fender MIA J but add Fralin pickups and an Audere preamp, which is something I want to do anyway.
