The bass on the left is my White 1985 Squire Jazz - I bought it for somewhere around $200 back in late 80's as a back up Bass. It has low mileage and plays and sound great.

[Fender32]

Havent seen either of these here yet ...

1983 Westone Thunder 1A:

I bought this one in May (2008) and then sold it again in September. It was a nostalgia purchase, as I had a black one of these as my first bass, but I didn't have much use for one now.


I still have this (bought in July this year) though ...

1987 Westone Spectrum GT Bass:

It's really nice to play and I like the look, but to be honest, the range of tones is very disappointing. It has a lot of low end, but it's very hard to get a bright, biting sound from it, even with the brand new Rotosound Swing Bass strings that it has on now .

 

[BartmanPDX]

Steinberger L2 previously owned by the late Dee Murray of the Elton John Band, can be heard on several EJ tunes including "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues".

Gotta love that L2. I'm playing my XL quite a bit these days. Nothing else sits in the mix so perfectly and sounds so clear.

 

[JoeVictim]

These survived the 80's with me.....

I want the pink leopard bass in a 4 string model. That is super punk rock!

[DeanT]

That Gibson is sexy as hell man

Thanks Krugmeister. It's a Gibson SG Supreme. It's a very sweet bass. And it feels really nice in your hands too.

[basmartin]

Here is my ´88 Lado Lacewood bass:

Awesome bass.

 

[emblymouse]

My '87 MIJ 62 RI purchased recently from hemitom.

I added a custom nitro tort guard from Pickguardian and swapped out the pup's for model J's. It came w/ stack nobs but I actually prefer the trad arrangement so the original guts were put back in. It has cloth wiring in there too! Very nice build and in primo shape. I am a sucker for this color combo, it reminds me of an old Corvette.

 

[Hot Rats]

1984 Squier P-Bass

1987 CIJ re-issue P-Bass

1986 MIJ re-issue Jazz Bass

1988 Warmoth P-Bass (no longer exists as a bass)

Peace, John
