If you could have TWO and ONLY TWO basses..

[steamboat]

Well geez... if I HAVE to pick two.

I'll take a Zon fretless 6 (don't know if I'd want a Sonus or a Legacy, I've only played a Sonus and it was quite an experience) with a piezo bridge, and a Sadowsky fretted 5 with the as of yet unreleased EMG Twin Coil pickups (they're based on the CS pickups and have a switch between single coil and humbucking modes... EMG's site says they'll be out later this year).

I can see myself accumulating a pretty large bass collection if I ever earn the money to support one.. but just those two basses would cover a lot of ground for me.

Reiner's basses are unique. Full of creative ideas and with (self-made) pickups that are among the best pickups in the world.

Link Removed cool website - unfortunately German only.

'85 Tobias Classic 5
Kay Double Bass (maybe this isn't the right forum)
Elrick Custom 4

 

[jrthebassguy]

Fender custom shop J and a matching P to go with it.

Well...the first is my trusty ol' Spector NS-4. The second is hard to choose...I played a killer MTD 535 a few weeks ago that would probably rival any 5'er out there! That could be number 2. Or an Elrick, should it be as good as I've heard. Or a Rob Allen fretless or a Spector NS-4 fretless w/ piezo...the list is pretty endless

Fortunately, at least I've got a great bass in my Spector and a decent 2nd bass in my MIM Jazz

I've got a couple Lakland 55-94s so I'm pretty much there as far as versatility but I did see a couple Wal basses on Ebay last week that made me start drooling [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] so I voted for them as #2...You can't discount the drool factor!

 

[bassman210]

my first would be a dave parr 6-string

a warwick thumb 5-string with LED inlays

 

[Stubb]

#1 JT's Doubleneck (wow you did a great job desinging it, but i would tune both necks b E A D G c f)

#2 another 7, a melted top conklin, tuned f# b E A D G c

 

[Amoilbasso]

Well,my Sadowsky of course,and then I should de-fret my Tobias.

 

[SpankBass]

Why would i need any other bass if I could only get that one in the "bassgasm" thread. That thing is soooo cool.

 

[john turner]

i would demand a recount! i would keep demanding until i got that 2 up to 10, at least, if not more.

and if that didn't work, i'd move to florida and repeat the process.

I would keep my Yamaha and add a Fender Jazz to it, but to me having two basses is luxary since I have only one, but what the hack, anything that gives a good bass sound will do.

Funny, so it's Tye Zamora and Sam River's basses, eh? Guess you'll have to live without them for a while.

 

[Steven Green]

Where's Lakland? I'd have my trusty Lakland Joe Osborn and perhaps a Wal standard 4...yeah.

 

[DarkMazda]

a fully customized Salas Custom 4 I guess a nice Zon Legacy 4

Oh no they're not, they're irritating as hell and are killing real conversation on TB!

A note: The title of each one of these poll threads starts out with "Poll:". If there's a more obvious way to let people know it and avoid it let's hear it.

People "do" seem to be talking here... or "are" they? Hmmm...

Yes but the really evil thing about polls is that they go to the top every time someone ticks it, so you go to every forum and all you see are polls at the top of the page and it gets to the point where you are having to "ignore" just about everything and if you just browse what is "new" it's all polls!

It's really driving me mad - some days I just can't be bothered to pick through all the polls to find a "real" conversation!
