This is my main bass. A bona-fide workhorse.

All my basses are workhorses. This'un may be the horsiest. '87 Squier MIJ P-bass, picked up c. '89 for a cool hundie.

It came with a chipboard case, which I later replaced with this equally workhorse case. And yes the case used to be owned by a bassist for Against Me! And Laura Jane Grace did that stencil.

Everything a jazz bass should be and more.

Sorry about the double post, doesn't seem to want to let me delete one. If mods want to do so, that'd be fine.

The body just celebrated 70 trips around the sun, the neck is a much younger 66. Both older than me.
Been my main squeeze for 32 years. Hoping for many more.

Got a Ray35 about a year ago and it's done most of the heavy lifting since

 

[Bunk McNulty]

My BL calls them the green team. The Birdsong gets most of the work; the Squier is for backup, but comes out for "Sweet Child" and a few others.

I don't know why this is suddenly getting attention, but it is seriously out of date. The stable, as of this writing:

Left: 2005 Lakland USA Joe Osborne. Right: 1976 Fender Precision w/"A" neck.

 

[C Stone]

These two are getting the Lion's share these days Crafted in China jazz & my custom precision bass.

 

[bass4u]

My Fiesta Red Fender Precision.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

Only 3 basses, use them all, take 2 to every gig.

My Squier Musicmaster.....

My Fender/Squier "Broncomaster"

Just finished this one, only made it to practice so far, first gig for it will be 12/17

 

[Michael Simpson]

My newest acquisition, and one I feel may take over workhorse duties on a pretty permanent basis.

 

[Jamvan]

Did anyone get permission to resurrect this thread?

Well, while I’m here…

1953 neck on a 1971 Telecaster Bass body. Ugly. Dirty. Nice! (Cracked headstock and all.)
