Got 'em

My semi hollow Clement with piezo pickup and labella tapewounds. And my Clement 5 string fretted with Nordstrand Big Splits and Glockenklang pre ( push pull passive ).

Everything from upright sounds to modern slap and Bona-esque fingerstyle, as well as meat and potatoes j bass sounds is covered.

 

[Blue Moose]

1. Jazz with rounds
2. Ric with flats

I'd be set for life with that combination.

 

[joinercape]

other: p and my db

....that would do it for me too...

 

[tobin999]

fender p
fender jazz

 

[kcole4001]

Only two?
5 string Rick 4003 (or 2)
and possibly:
5 string Jazz style bodied bass
I guess that put me in the 'other' category.

Fender P

Mid 70's Gibson G-3, and a 5 strings fretless Beatle bass (of any make).

2. unmodified 1956 P Bass w/ orig HSC - both in at least fair condition.

 

[somegeezer]

My Schecter Stiletto Studio-6 that i'll be getting soon and my 2nd would be a Warwick Infinity 4 or 6 string custom with the AAAA flamed maple top.

 

[sloasdaylight]

1) Music Man Bongo 6 HH fretted
2) Fbass AC6 Fretless with 28 frets and an ebony fingerboard.

 

[Archaeobass]

My 2001 Modulus Q5 and my dearly departed 55-02. Should never have let that one go. I'll have to salve my pain by picking up a 55-02 Deluxe when things turn around.

 

[rtslinger]

wow, these polls things are fun.

many of us here at talkbass have multiple basses.

but, what if you were limited to 2.

from reading here and other forums, its pretty clear that a bass that does it all, just doesn't exist.

so........

list your main axe and pick your second instrument like your life depended on it.

i'll go first...

#1 - my zon lightwave sonus 5 string fretless

#2 - a nice upright

fred

It would be my Gibson L9S Ripper and my MIM Fender P

 

[saltymonkey]

These two. Lakland short scale Decade & JO4.
