[pocketgroove]

10? Pssh. I only need 2. Give me a P-bass and a Jazz and I can make as many sounds as I could possibly need to.

 

[benthughes]

Ummmm, I couldn't imagine having such a collection that I had to narrow it down to 10, I've got 6 basses and neglect 3 of them. That being said, I'll bite.

Spector NS4
Spector NS2
Zon TJ5 Lined fretless
Rickenbaker
Sadowsky Jazz 5
Nordy VP bass
.....Jeeze, getting hard to choose.
G&L L-2500
Wal Mach II 5
Wal Mach II4
Gibson Thunderbird .... Nikki Sixx model looks sweet.

I think that would suffice for anything possibly ever for the end of time. Or until I browse the classifieds again.

You know, I just saw this thread, and thought "Who needs 10 basses???". Then I got to thinking, and I COULD name at least 10 basses I'd like to have, as follows:

1) '62 Fender Precision, sunburst w/tort guard (think Jamerson)

2) '54 Fender P-Bass (blonde of course)

3) '72 Fender Jazz, black

4) First issue MM Stingray

5) Gibson EB-4L

6) Guild B302A

7) Hofner 500/1 '64

8) Alembic Series One 34"

9) Rickenbacker 4001

10) Rickenbacker 4005

And just for the hell of it: Ibanez Artist 2615B. Never played one or even seen on live, but I've thought it just looked SO cool since I was a teenager in the 70's: [This invalid link has been removed]

If I could have any 10 basses, then I guess my list would be different, but in a real world (where my GAS is far cheaper) these are the basses that I want/plan to have in the near future!



Ok, there is only 7, but I'll reserve the other 3 spots for "dream" basses!

10? Pssh. I only need 2. Give me a P-bass and a Jazz and I can make as many sounds as I could possibly need to.

I guess I don't really want to "collect" basses personally. ( there are other hobby interests I would be more tempted in)

I can certainly appreciate though having....



Fender Jazz (fretted and fretless)

Fender precision ( you have to have one right?)

An acoustic type bass ( violin, ABG, Kala U bass or real neat turner or something)

Of course, like many have said. " All I NEED is one "
