Musicman Stingray 4 HH
Rickenbacker 4003

[saxnbass]

Sterling H Rosewood
Bongo HH Fretless (Pau Ferro) with Piezos
StingRay 5 HS Maple

I'm 2/3 of the way there, just missing the SR5. And the Bongo is on order. Blue Dawn unlined The Sterling I already have.

 

[teleken]

That's easy - the three I already have. Among the 32" Fender Urge, the 34" Fender American Deluxe fretless, and the 34" Warwick Thumb BO, there's a LOT of ground I can cover, and I haven't tapped fully into the potential of any one of them yet, let alone all three.

Hm...then all I need is a good p-bass and I'll be GAS free?

[Peccavi]

2 peavey cirrus (i have 1 already)
music man stingray 4 string double buck (black with maple board)

2eavey T-40

Com'on! It is that versatile!!!

 

[Atoz]

In no particular order of preference:

1) Ric

2) P

3) J

No single-cutaway 7-stringers, or boutique stuff. I play around beer and cigarettes, not wine and cigars.

 

[mat gregory]

Jazz bass (preferably an old one) ,Pre EB stingray and something like a warwick would cover alot things I run into.

[Vic]

Sadowsky JJ 5
Sadowsky PJ 5
Sadowsky Modern 5.

I detect a theme here...

 

[Ostinato]

Fender J
Fbass BN4
Alembic Essence fretless

 

[SnakeAnthony]

-My Highway One Jazz (after mods) with Flats
-A Highway One P (after mods) with rounds
-A toss up between a Ric and a Dark Star'd bass of some kind.

Why the Highway Ones you ask? Because of the finish. I love that Nitro so much. After upgrades along the lines of pickups and a proper set up they could just as easily compete with any other Fender around.
