If you could only have two…

[GoesThump]

To answer the question:

1 - Fender MIJ Mustang. I love this thing, it's been my #1 for about 15 years now.
2 - Cort Steinberger copy. A gift from my late parents almost 40 years ago. Sentimental reasons aside, it sounds great. (Non-stock pickups.)

I'd sure miss the various others I own, but those would be my two.

This dynamic duo.

Interesting read … the ergonomics and sound palette push me to my current “non production” specs EBMM Sterling and I would like to try the G&L L1000 as the specs on those look interesting.

(Concerned that TBers are getting tired of seeing me post "these" over and over again to threads.)

Only 2 basses? A real deal 1953 P and a real deal 1966 P.

It's gonna be this and the Cliff Bordwell coming this summer. Then I'm done, as they say.

These two.

Daaaamn! Sweet!! I would like to have these two..

But right now i can only have the two below:

The good thing is i don't have to choose two cuz i only have two..

 

[HaMMerHeD]

The EHB and the SRH. Though, tbh, if they made a 6str SRH, I would greedily grab one.

 

[roccobass]

I only have 3 basses total. All have different passive Bartolini pickups in them and all have 3 different sounds I like.

One would be my ‘84 fretted Jazz. I’ve sold the others because I just kept coming back.

Between the fretless Jazzes, I can’t decide. I flip back and forth. The white MOP gets that nice old school R&B thump (LaBella Lo Tensions) and the black MOP get a more truer Jazz tone. (TI Flats) Lots of zing and mwah. I’m so confused! Can’t decide which is the only one!

 

[Gervais Cote]

The classic duo, a passive P and J. 4-bangers only. But here's where I deviate a bit from the "norm": the P would have nickel rounds and the J would have old flats.

Looking to my playlist, this pair makes perfect sense for me !

 

[VicDiesel]

I'm in the "have only two" camp. Well, after I ditch a Godin 4-string fretless. Anyone around Austin want to make a bid? So here are my babies for now and probably a long time.

These two.

That light blue Lakland……….. !

 

[DwaynieAD]

Probably my jazz 5 and my music man, but it may be the p instead of the musicman. Not sure

 

[Baker69]

It's clearly evident and interesting from the responses so far that Jazz basses (of whatever denomination) appear to be by far the most common basses followed by P Basses and Stingrays!

 

[Jefenator]

Probably my passive J and an active 5-string.
I assume I still get to have an upright, so I'll use that for fretless.

Fretless, the almighty Pedulla.

Fretted, the Grind, baby!!
