[JimB52]

A rock and roll machine.
Fender AVS 1957 reissue. August 1982 neck date, plastic wiring, weight 8 lbs, nitro finish is very checked.
Looks more like 52 years old than 27. Picked it up cheap about 6 years ago.

 

[J. Crawford]

Wow, thats awesome!

 

[gnasher1993]

That really does look great. I love those gold pickguards .

 

[TechJunky]

Here's my collection as it stands. Notice the abundance of cheap basses!

The pairing of the basses (two olp's, two spector's, the warwick and the warwick-knock-off Dean positioned as such) was a complete coincidence. I just noticed that now.

Trade than sell is what he does... I guess it's good he never becomes attached to his basses LOL He's the best

Much to learn you have young padawan

tommy i have not really made much money trading and dealing , after all buying and selling in the past year probably around 800$, i never buy hoping to profit , but i ALWAYS buy at a price i know i can never lose money on re-sale.

GAS is just so hard i sold everything and then got a t40 and realized that i want a stingray and P bass again(like jim's above) , i confuse myself.

I'm sorry to hear that dude. Basses just seem to come so easily to you.

Got this a few hours ago, just stopped playing it - needed a break.

My first fretless and first 'boutique' bass.

I tried taking some of my own photos, but the holly wood top makes it extraordinarily difficult to photograph in the sun (holy reflections Batman!)

 

[J. Crawford]

Wow, your first boutique and its a fretless! Way to take the plunge!

I'm a dive-right-in type of fellow.

 

[MusicallyMrM]

Well here is some of my junk-I'm a noob. What do I know? :lol:

90's Fender MB-5 (I hear that they are "Heartfield" descendants)

A BentleySeries 10 P-Bass copy hot-rodded with SD Quarter Pounders and Kluson Heads. Good sounding bass

OLP Body (Elm) Electronics salvaged from an accident damaged Stingray 5

Samick(Korea) YBL530FL Understated fretless with updated electronics and hardware.....Mwahhhh

An old sentimental dusty. A 73 Melodier. The first bass I ever owned. gift from my father in 1977. My dad passes away in 1992 and as a tribute to my father, this bass got an upgrade with Duncan Antiquities Set, Gotoh Tuners, Baddass Bridge, CTS pots, Orange Cap and D'Addario Strings. Thanks Dad...I miss you.

!980's Dean Hollywood Z (when I used to have hair)

A sweet Samick I still own. Converted it to 18 volts for more headroom. Has an Aguilar Pre in it.

[Murphys Law]

My new one.
Built it myself
Has a few mistakes but plays like butter...

I just powered through this thread, and my goodness, bass guitars are real purdy. One of my favorite images was the dark wood pickguard on the light wood TBC many pages back.

After only acquiring basses, I am getting ready to release a couple, so I decided to take some group pix before my family shrinks. I will be donating the Hohner B Bass V to my daughters old Middle school.

The Wishbass clan,
Scroll 4 string fretless
Scroll 5 string fretted
Hipper Purpleheart
Hipper Cherrywood
Scarab Purpleheart
Standard Spaulted Holly top
Peanut Cherrywood

And my other loved ones
Hohner B Bass V with upgraded bridge, nut, and pups
92 Alembic Europa Redwood Burl 5 string
96 Alembic Epic Bocate 4 string
69 Fender Jazz, my one and only bass from 1976 to about 2005.
