If you could have TWO and ONLY TWO basses..

[heath_the_great]

my blade and ksd are doing the job very well right now....but give it a few days ill want something else

 

[steve4765630]

Probably my Alembic 6 and Warrior fretless 6. This is really hard!

 

[groove_sjors]

on number one my custom made jazzbass,
musicman, jazzbass pickups (bartolini and seymour duncan), with everything possible on it, with carbontech (a special thingey of vox humana, a guitar-parts shop in holland)...
www.voxhumana.nl
its in one word amazing

and on number two a precision bass with both precision and jazzbass pickups...

and when it gets bored, ill 'pimp' my bass with another colour or something...

 

[groove_sjors]

pimpin is THE save if you can only have two basses

[Andy_colassal]

Rickenbacker 4003 and Gibson Grabber would be just fine

 

[thedarkone]

I would want my MTd 435 and 535!!!

 

[jobo4]

Fender Jazz bass with hum cancelling pups and Audere.
Lakland 5502.

Love that growl.

[groovetoolz]

Two basses that would do for me would be...


a fretless version of this MTD 535 ....

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

and exactly this one....

[Btone]

A vintage seventies jazz or the '75 RI - and a good precision. Vintage or RI. The '51 RI, maybe - the blonde one. GAS.

 

[Robbase]

Dingwall prima artist

 

[steve21]

In realistic world: Lakland 55-94 and a Geddy Lee probably.

In ultra-hawt fantasy world: Sadowsky NYC 5/24 (mahogany body, maple neck, probably quilt top, ebony board) and a Valenti J-5 w/ Nordstrand dual-coils. The Valenti I played at NAMM w/ the NJ4SE's was absolutely monster.

 

[cgworkman]

I'd probably say a Lakland 55-02 and a SR5 (single pup).

 

[Figjam]

My ebmm hhsr5
Roscoe LG3005

Things have changed a bit since Ive realized that 4 strings are home.

I love both of my ebmms but the Sterling is the winner for me.

So now my 2 basses would be

1) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

and 2) would be a Nordstrand NJ Deluxe 4 (maybe fretless)
Holly top/pup covers/mhs
Dual Coils
Swamp ash body
Ebony fingerboard

 

[Thunder_Fingers]

I have a Listerud Custom Bass as my first one, wich is able to do about everything.

Second: I would realy like a Fender Japan Old lake placid blue jazz with a P pickup in the neck position instead of the regular jazz..

 

[fake-bass]

Fretless 'Ray 4

and

A Geddy Jazz or a Warwick Thumb BO 4

I only need 4 strings...

 

[Ale]

Hey man thats 8 !

 

[doctorjazz]

Two Roscoe sixes, one fretted, the other fretless.

 

[rogerbmiller]

I voted other cause I own almost 60 basses so picking 2 is not really an option. That said, My faves are down to about 3in order of preference:

Japanese 80's basses (Aria Pro II Superbasses at the top of the list)
Wal Basses
Kubicki Basses

At least I think so for now.

I've got som other nice basses-- Fodera, G&L, EBMM, yak yak yak. But at the end of the day, I like unique instruments and the aforementioned are certainly unique and then some.
