What is that one bass you will go to the grave with, that you will never sell, that you will always love (as much as you can love a bass) and have had since you can remember?

My Cort Jeff Berlin Rithimic model, I've had it probably six or seven years now (I've been playing twenty years now). I've had my Pedulla Pentabuzz nearly as long.
These two bought new a day apart.
The blue currently has a black bridge and tuners.
Both are work horses.

Bought it back in mid '01.
Every time I pick it up, it feels like home.
'80 Ric 4001... bought it brand new... in '80.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
I bought the blonde Fender jazz (with P neck) used in 1984.
1984 Squier P-Bass I bought in 1984. The body is from a 1985, but it's the neck date that matters.
My bought new '76 Fender Musicmaster. Though it's in pieces at the moment sorry no pics.
This one I suppose. I've had it the longest.
2011-now, still no. 1
Bought this one in 2009, but sold it in 2012 (I really shouldn't have). Managed to track it down and buy it again in 2020.

my 1965 Hagstrom Coronado... 16th birthday present. still playing it.
'83 P-bass Elite II. First new bass I ever bought, played a lot during the 80s and into the 90s.
#1. Never had a bass become a true extension of me, until this one.
Ibanez RB630. 1983 I think.
I've goofed with it a good bit.
