Here are my P-Basses, which I rarely use other than to practice at home.

I was never interested in putting bridge and/or pickup covers on a bass because I'd probably find they get it my way. But I love the classic look they give a bass, especially with a Sunburst finish. And it's hard to tell from the pics on my phone whether that's a gold anodized pickguard or a parchment but, either way, the pickguard adds to that classic look.

Nice!

How do you like that Xotic?
There was one here on TB last year I almost bought, and I love the one ash/maple 4 string active Xotic J-J I've played.

I love it. Plays great, the PLEK’d neck is really a game changer. I also love how it sounds, probably the nicest sounding Jazz bass I own. This one is passive but goes through a VTBDI and Keeley Compressor or a FlyRig when gigged. Works for me.

How about a couple of 1970 semi-hollow Guilds?

That red jazz bass is gorgeous, it is a Boxer series?

There is Boxer in the Precision section and it gets gigged quite a bit. It is a surprisingly versatile bass and I really like the TBX control. It works really well for hair metal and other heavier guitar oriented classic rock. I can disengage it if it’s not required.

The red Jazz is a limited edition Sandblasted Edition. Great player and is my most recorded bass. CS60 pickups in that one.

Wow, those Sereks. I've been looking on them quite often lately.. But I am not a collector - intentionally have only one bass. Anyway, tell me something about the 5 string - are those MFD pickups and L-2000 electronics? How does it play with medium scale? How would you compare it with actual L-2500 (I mean the B string)? Probably never seen such a specific electronics put in completely different instrument..

It's a rad bass! I fell in love with the L2500 I bought from a fellow TalkBass user, but I didn't love the weight or the look, so I had Serek build me a lighter and better looking one basically. It's full scale, and the low B sounds awesome. I have a video with some sound samples on my YouTube channel, but it does basically just sound like a G&L L2500 but with maybe a bit more clarity and definition.

Finally, here are the odds and ends. The Basic and the MTD see regular play (church), the other ones not so much.

I bought my Lakland online from Beaver. He was amazing and gave me a great deal. He's my first stop when I'm hitting up online stores.

Only 1 Sacramento?

Thank you, and that's a very nice pair of Rics you have there! There was a time when I had multiples of those as well, but they were never photographed together.

CTs are not something seen everyday, but rest assured there are some CT collectors on this forum and elsewhere who have VERY extensive collections. There are lots of great pics of these and other basses on the Carl Thompson website.

Thank you so much! I'm definitely not a CT expert haha, but at least there's a lot to learn here on TB and on the CT website.

I have two red Sereks. Not sure if that counts as a collection, but I'm working on getting all of my basses in red.

Your Sereks are gorgeous! I watched your video about your Lincoln and let me tell you that it's indeed a sexy bass! I'm about to watch the one about the Armitage. Have fun and play them in good health!

Yep and it’s full scale. Definitely a keeper though.
