Mid-90s SR-5s. Two of a perfect pair.

Lots of good stuff in this thread. I think it's good to have multiples of the same style of bass. Billy Sheehan proposed that it's good to always use the same style of bass for muscle memory and technique.

One's good, two's better.

1974 and 1983 Gibson L9-S Ripper. More siblings than twins. Both completely factory original except for the strings which are currently Kalium Hybrids. Both still going strong.

Minor cosmetic differences between them. The sleeker more sculpted mid-1975 and later models looked like the one on the right. The original lighter weight slab type body and thinner neck profile version is on the left. But that said, they both sound like a Ripper.

That odd looking blurry gouge around the 14th fret on the ’74 is just some weird artifact the camera added. In real life it’s not there. Someday I’ll stop being so lazy and reshoot their portrait.

Mine started out like this...

Got stronger and started walking...

Got more adorable

Got Monsterous...

And now they're just barely contained chaos with Hippie Haircuts

1976 and 1974

Working on twin Telecasters for me and my boy (5yo). Black and Tort. Mine is righty with a lefty bridge and his will be left handed mini Tele with a righty bridge (his will be set up for slide though - he's not really playing yet. I figured a "lap tele" tuned to Open G and a slide will give him the best chance at having fun.)

My 2 main basses. P’s.... both w/ Jazz necks.

The "Bubinga Bros"

Fretted and fretless... Twins in that the same wood plank was used to make them both...

Not identical but twins all the same... And I love them both equally

I had these two late 70s models at one time... a couple of years apart but they made a nice pair.

Never tire of seeing the bros.
