If you could have TWO and ONLY TWO basses..

[5s_tring freak]

If I was limited to 2 basses I would have to pick

either Fender MIA Jazz Bass Deluxe 5 string/Sadowky 5 string

OR

MM Sterling 4 string

 

[Curbow_fan]

1. anything designed by greg curbow
2. Victor wooten signature by fondera

 

[Uforia]

I would have a Zon Sonus Custom and a Fondera.

 

[Gunnar Þór]

Right now it's these two:

#1 Rickenbacker 4001/V63 or 4003

#2 A nice 6 stringer. (Got any recommendations?)

Then again I only want two basses since I don't think I'll be able to afford more for the next several years. Damn school.

I play on a Dean Edge Q4. It sounds great in almost any venue. I'd love to someday have a Stingray 4 string fretless.

I in fact want two and only two basses. They are the Pedulla Rapture J2 5 string (which I already have) and the F Bass fretless BNF5 or maybe that Alain Caron one. I need more situations to play fretless in to justify that purchase though.

I guess both basses I want are in the "souped-up Fender Jazz" vein. Maybe I should pick two that span the spectrum better, but ain't nothing I can't do with those two, I don't think.

UPDATE:

a couple custom pj's with j neck and p bodies and maybe with piezo bridges...

 

[Jon Burnet]

62 fretless jazz and a stingray5 (older one)

 

[drewie]

My StingRay5 and a 5 string fretless - not sure which make though!

...or maybe a vintage Precision...hmmm..

 

[Teenie]

spector 4 string fretted. I only have one though

 

[TommyTheCat]

Man, if I had a Carl Thompson, I wouldn't need 2 basses. 1 Carl Thompson's all you need

 

[Freakapotamus9]

Spector American 5 or 6 neck through
Sadowsky 5 fretless

Welcome to Talkbass.

One of our members, Dave Siff, has a Carl Thompson, and he seem to think that he needs at least one besides the CT.

 

[Chad Michael]

a warwick corvette fretless.......

and an mtd x35.......

both are yummier than a lifetime of sex and beer.

 

[Fuzzbass]

I don't remember whether I posted here already, but even if so, a recent acquisition has made that post obsolete. If I had to pick just two, it would be:


Modulus Quantum 5
MTD 535

 

[JayAmel]

Well, a couple of basses... Hmmm...

My choice :
1/ Rickenbacker 4001, 4001V63 or 4001CS
2/ Rickenbacker 4001, 4001V63 or 4001CS

All the best,

Not a fan of 6 stringers, but Vigier Arpege III have an excellent reputation here.

[BarnacleBassist]

4 String Vadim, 7 String Vadim...

[Newsted]

[Brian Barrett]

No question, after owning everything from A,B,C,D,F,S. Those two basses can cover everything.

Benavente 219B series with JJ configuration.

Acacia Custom with soapbars.

Thanks for asking
