The 5+ Basses Owned Club

[pathdoc2]

3 four string electrics
CIJ daphne blue P bass with white pearl pickguard
ATK 700, translucent blue, brand new to me
Aria Pro, P bass copy, strung with flats, great thumper, great for recording

2 five string electrics
ATK 350, black with maple board, mid 90's, nice and narrow neck for a 5
Ibanez, SR something or other, going to donate this to a young aspiring bassist who needs a bass. Just never really liked this bass.

2 uprights,
3/4 solid top, ply sides, asian built, set up like a pro, sounds fantastic, K&K bridge pickup, external K&K preamp
1/2 solid Romanian, good player but just can't compare with the boom and depth of the 3/4
