One bass! Just One!

View attachment 591477 View attachment 591478 Based purely on the difficulty of ever finding another one, it would be between these two. I have seen one other lefty Kramer, but never another lefty Gretsch. If you add playing it to the mix, though, it would probably be the Kramer - but not by much.
Nah...changed my mind. As a Biker who likes to play bass, rather than a bassist who owns a motorcycle? If I was forced to have only one - and that's what it would take - ? Then I would have none.
I'd just sell everything but what I needed for life on the road; load it on one of these; and boogie on down the highway...
Tough one, but if I had to pick only one, it'd be my Fender Jazz. They're all great for different reasons, but "overall", the Jazz would be my A1.
Lol. I only play B.C. Rich. Not a listed option.
If I had to choose one, it'd be the one I've had since I was a kid because that can't be replaced. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be extremely grumpy that I didn't have my 5 string any more.

I have an uncle who plays Pedulla exclusively. Gorgeous is the word, in all departments.

That’s a tough one. Might have to be my MIJ Mustang because it’s so easy and fun to play and sounds good, plus its light weight and short reach could keep me playing even when my back/shoulder/neck/arm/wrist act up in the future, as they inevitably will again at some point.
But if could know I wouldn’t have such health issues, it’d be my old MIM Standard Precision. It’s a bit heavy and not particularly exciting looking (plain black w/ white pickguard), but it sounds perfect to me and is the one I play the most.
My heart says the P, my head the Mustang. Either one of those two could do as "my only one" bass, but none of my others would really fit the bill. Anyway, Fender for sure

Bitter boring truth is 2015 USA Precision
Love the simplicity and it's the bass sound in my head...yes it's tort

It’s hard to choose just one but my choice would surely be my ‘82 Pre Ernie Ball Stingray...I can play pretty much any kind of stuff with this bass,gourgeous tone and also super comfort for my hands!
