If you could have TWO and ONLY TWO basses..

[learning_towalk]

i'd gladly take 2 Foderas.

 

[boomingthunder]

Travis Bean aluminum neck bass and a Warwick stage II 5 string, by the way i own not just one of these but NONE! and i probably never will!!

 

[Aussiephoenix]

Well, being conservative, I'll stay with the two that I already have,

Fender Classic 60s Jazz Bass
and
Bass Collection sb465

dont really need anything else...

 

[quatre03]

Id have to say a warr guitar phalanx 14 string

 

[Dr. Cheese]

My ideal two basses would be my Peavey USA Millennium 5 and Skyline Lakland bass like a 55-01 or 55-02.

 

[Joe Beets]

One would be a MIJ re-issue Mustang Bass tuned to "E" and the other one would be an identical one tuned to "Eb". I have one now and in about two months I will have the other one.

 

[Bob the Bass]

I had to vote OTHER because Rickenbacker wasn't (inexplicably) in the list !!

1. My Rickenbacker 4003
2. My (on order) Rickenbacker 4003 fretless

 

[burk48237]

#1 My Sadowsky Metro RV5 "Best in the pocket" tone of any bass I've ever owned!
#2 Pedulla Buzz I've got one now, sold one about ten years ago, always regreted it, might consider a Pentabuzz instead but I don't think any one does frettless better!

 

[RandallFlagg]

Well, I guess that if the Ric is #1 then the Fender would have to be #2...

 

[WovenGraphite]

How about an Alembic Series II a la Stanley Clarke (ok, also need the fingers to go with it...)

 

[Peter Squire]

two very beautiful instruments there, Randall.

I would say the two I got are just fine:

Fender Anniversary Reissue 62 Jazz (lefty)
Musicman Stingray 5 (lefty)

Covers all the tones I need, although I still gas for a Ric....

 

[bass-shy]

This sounds kind of cheap compared to everyone else's replies but:

2002 ESP LTD C-304, (The only bass I currently own.)

Martin Alternative X Bass, (Which I hope to own in a few months.)

 

[caesarbass]

1 P-bass and 1 Jazz bass.

 

[Ty_Boogie]

marcus miller 4

Yamaha BB405

 

[Figjam]

Whew, blast from the past! Update for me...
Ive fulfilled my several year old dream of owning a musicman and i have my second on order. This will be the first NEW bass that ive bought that was actually expensive. Im usually a used guy because i dont trust buying from certain companies new, but EBMM is amazing.

EBMM Sterling
EBMM HH Stingray5

 

[bassteban]

This kind of thread should be banned. TWO MEASLEY BASSES?!? What a horrible thought. OK, I'll play. My 3/4 DB & my Stambaugh fretted 6. AND 75 amplifiers.

Edit: Just read the original post- my main, I guess, is my Fender Jazz 5. I guess it would be atie between the two previously listed basses, or make the Stammie my new main. Decisions, decisions...

 

[T-Funk]

Here are the two basses I would choose:

1) Fender American Deluxe Precision V
2) Fender American Deluxe Jazz V
