We all have them. We may deny we have them, but we have them.

Bass and guitar from the SAME manufacturer. Show us yours, share the guilt.

I'll start with a pair of Squiers.

I'll even continue with an Ibanez one-two.

Squiers - '99 Affinity Strat with lots of upgrades, 2021 CV 50s P with lots of upgrades.

Ibanez - 1980 Roadster RS900, 1998 (I think) GAX-70, both as stock from the box as the day they were made apart from Hipshot knobs on the RS.

Your turn. Go!

My gig basses are random ash P bodies identically appointed, with USA Geddy Lee Jazz necks, Dominger P and Tom Brantley Geddy J pups, 920d parallel-serial control joints, Hipshot detuner, Decoboom pickguards, Dunlop straplocks, and D'Addario EXL170 strings.

And then I have my former gig Ps... identical MIM Ps with Dominger Thumper pups, Hipshot detuners, and Dunlop Straplocks...

I live by the Rule of 2 like a Sith lord, so I keep other twins as well.

I've never owned a guitar in my life. I'm not interested in guitar and I cannot play one.
So, we don't all have "them".
 
Two of my Japanese Fenders here. Different models so they aren't exactly twins, but one's been modified to the point it could almost be considered the other's fraternal twin.

The 4-string is a 2012 MIJ Fender Jazz Bass '62 Reissue. The 5-string is a 2004 CIJ that began life as a standard JBV, but within a few months of acquiring it, I had it modified to look like a '61 (stack knobs) that got converted into a 5-string (rest assured I would never modify an actual vintage Fender like that).

So now I have two Fender Jazzes that are largely similar, and until I decide to have the fiver's body refinished in black (been considering it for ages since I originally wanted to get a black model but could only find a burst), they're effectively 'twins' for the time being.
