Since most of the great bass lines were performed on a fender precision bass, that would have to be the number ONE bass. Now let's see what would be number two. How about a precision bass with a jazz bass bridge pickup added. There, that's it! The perfect two bass setup.

If I had to choose today, it would be my Peavey Cirrus 6 and my Zon Sonus Custom fretless 5.

Ask me again after I get something else.:D

Well, 2 1/2 years later, the Zon is still number one. Number two would be my Nordstrand SC5.

Good thing that I am not limited to 2, because I have 3 or 4 others that I would not want to part with!:D

Forgot to add pics!;)

Oh come on Jeff, that old Zon? I think that you should just send it to me and be free of that stick.;) :D I've got a nice 5 string from Joe with nice shiny frets.:hiding:

To tell you the truth, I hate the old thing, but my wife thinks it's purty, and won't let me sell it.;) There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.

If your fretted Zon is in the way, you could send it to me. My wife would probably like it, too.
