Living with just 3 basses

[Ostie]

How can I choose from a list? I’d have to hear them, play them, and feel them.

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

3, 4, 5.

 

[Jtown690]

3,4,6

 

[jbasedig]

I voted 257, but I would have picked 345.
A P, a J, and a 5. Good for a bit of everything.

3, 4, 5 makes sense to me. If you get a 5 string MM, ditch the sire keep.... the dimarzio jazz ( love the concentric knobs.... I'm going to convert my forever JB) and the Geezer p bass. You're covered for a lot.

 

[Thegreatzambini]

Ugh!

 

[DiabolicLow B]

I would love to have 3 bases

 

[sotua]

one with flats, one with rounds, one fretless.

 

[IamGroot]

I only pick choices that are prime numbers.

 

[H K]

Draw numbers from a hat.

Yeah we'd need to play them, or at the very least get a little more info than this.. Pics would be nice too!

 

[PennyroyalWe]

None of your poll options are the combo I would pick, and there’s no carrots option, so I can’t vote.

I say keep the MIA P bass, keep the sire so as to have a 5 string, and which ever jazz you like best.

 

[MegaSwing]

What do I know about it? Good luck.

 

[Meaculpa]

2,4,5

 

[Tim Skaggs]

1, 3, 7.

 

[Crusher47]

1,3,4

 

[Snakeman1066]

if it were me... 3, 4, 7...

[retslock]

Only one five string so I didn’t vote. The Sire is the only one that interests me.

 

[JimmyM]

You’re smart enough to write a post, you’re smart enough to pick your own basses.

 

[Ricky Rioli]

Changed my vote to 2 3 7 — two rosewood, one maple, zero sunburst

Keep #6 and sell the rest to buy a boat.
