Pick Your Ideal 3 Bass Arsenal

[Soundchaser11460]

I would have to say my Fender MIA Deluxe Jazz,a Peavey Cirrus and an Elrick E volution 4 string.

 

[CrashClint]

For me it would be:

Roscoe SKB 3006 6-string
Tobias Killer B 5-string
Custom Jazz 4-string

 

[Silversorcerer]

My ideal 3 bass arsenal:

5-string upright 4/4 DB (money is no object) Make it a Pollmann.
5-string Ritter Fret-less
Clevinger 5-string Semi-Acoustic Electric Upright Bass (GAS item)

My actual electric bass guitar trio:

1973 Fender Precision
2005 Ritter 5-string fret-less Roya
2004 Ritter 5-string Roya Platinum Flora

I am extremely happy with my current "3some" and doubt it will change any time soon.

Lakland 55-02
EBMM Bongo 5

My ideal 3 bass arsenal (I'm only 1/3 the way there..and i'm sure its very obvious which one i have)

1) My first bass (frankenstyle)
2) Boutique custom bass
3) A bass to trade around for times when i feel like having something different

Right now they would be:
1) My Fender Hwy 1 (gonna be dropping nordies in and painting it white)
2) LeCompte Electric Bass (slowly saving up)
3) A used Warwick (very distant future)

 

[pickles]

Lakland 55-94 ash/maple
Sadowsky PJ5, swamp ash with Brazilian
Either my alder/RW Lakland USA JOBO5 or something more modern like a Pedulla ET-5.

Can't afford the Sadowksy at the moment, but I've got two of the others, and a '71 P in the sadowsky's place

 

[Buskman]

P bass with flats.
J bass with rounds.
MM Stingray.

+1
Maybe a fretless thrown in there, too. Wait...that's four basses...

 

[learning_towalk]

Fodera Emperor II (in 6 string)

Sadowsky Modern 5 Fretless

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

and

5 string Eminence Upright

that would have me covered.

[Tom Howland]

I've already got two.

Lakland Decade.
Lakland USA Glaub.

Looking for the perfect 5-string.
One of these?

Roscoe LG-3005
Sadowski PJ-5
Fodera Imperial 5

 

[pbass2]

I'm happy to report that 3 of my current basses fit the bill for me:

1. A great P-bass(in my case a US Glaub)
2. Some kind of Jazz(my sadowsky vintage 4 string)
3. An interesting short scale with flatwounds(my Jerry Jones Longhorn)

Haven't had call for fiver or a fretless in a loooong time in my work, so these are pretty much the only basses I grab these days. If I could add a fourth to the list, I'd add another P (to have one with flats and one with rounds

[Arthur U. Poon]

Currently:

2. MIA Fender P-Bass w/Nordstrand NP4 pickup
3. Fender Jazz

1. Lull M5V
2. Lull P5 or PJ5 (Undecided at this time)

If I were to re-configure my arsenal, this is how I'd do it:

1) Fender Reggie Hamilton P/J 4-string
2) Barker Fretless B1 4-string
3) Sadowsky Modern 24-fret 5-string.

Partially by accident and partially by choice, I have found myself with three basses right now and I kinda like the lineup:

1) Sadowsky Modern 24-fret 5-string
2) Sadowsky RV-4
3) Valenti P

I keep thinking I want to add a second 5-string but I can't find anything I like well enough to spend the additional money on.

I'm thinking that if I get the VTC added to my Sad Modern, that might be enough.
