if you could only keep one bass forever and never play a other bass what bass from your current arsenal would you chose. Let's see them.

I don’t want to go there...
But my 99 Precision bass .

• No batteries
• will work perfectly with % 90 of all recorded music

There can be only one!

(Not really I don't own a Steinberger or any headless. I simply couldn't resist)

Easy choice, the PJ bass I built in Dec. of 2017. Has been my main player since birth.

I have two in this picture. The Precision my wife gave me and I will never get rid of that beauty. Got a funky, nasty, stinky sound The Jazz though is my best playing and favorite go to bass.

That’s a real beauty. How loud is it acoustically, un-amplified?

Well, it doesn't support the "spend more if you want a louder ABG" theory I often read here. It's fine by itself, and it's audible with the TV on, but no where near the volume as my G Series Takamine which costs a fraction of the B10.

I post this all the time. Then again, I only have one bass.

Your bass stays in time?? My basses are all over the map! They have horrible rhythm.

The bass I've had the longest - an early 2000's MIM Jazz Bass in Ash/Rosewood. Bought it on a sketchy eBay listing years ago. Even sold it during a divorce and the buyer (who posted to TB that it was the growliest Jazz he's ever heard) hit me up to buy back. It's back home and will never leave again.

This 2016 Spector Forte 5 strung with DR Hi-Beams has THE tone I've been chasing all these years, baked right into it.

1980 Ibby Blazer..... I would, however, like to swap out the DiMarzio Model One for a Vintage P Bass set.....

Believe it or not, it would be the one on the left.

It feels better and growls more than any other bass that I've owned. With the Audere preamp it's got it's super flexible. I own the other ones because I wanted them - not because I needed them.

A man who knows both good basses and MTB shocks!

Nice basses. Will be putting my one and only up soon.

The Big Al on the left, I don’t believe that there is a useable sound that it is incapable of producing.
