Pick Your Ideal 3 Bass Arsenal

Rickenbacker 4003

Sadowsky P/J (Metro is fine) 4-string

Skojold Custom 6er


That would pretty much cover my playing needs. The Rick would be a present just for me, and the Sadowsky could cover any concievable vintage requirement and then some. The Skojold would be "my" bass, for my sound. I love the way his basses sound.

- Fretted
- Double J pickups
- Shiny white finish, w/out scratchplate or bell plate, matching headstock
