The Official "Show your basses" thread - 9 ladies dancing!

Similar, but not quite. This is a bit more reddish than a typical tobacco burst. Here's a close up picture of the side.

And it's not really completely accurate. It's so hard to get some colors to show up correctly in photographs.

Nice! I see what you mean though.

 

[Darkstrike]

Darkstrike, just wow.

Yeah, all sense just left the building about 2 years ago.

My modest family:

Custom Classic Fender J-Bass, 70's Maya, Custom Vadim, Ibanez Soungear Fretless.

 

[Darkstrike]

Man I love that Vadim, utterly incredible.

 

[CrispyDelicious]

Thanks. It really is awesome

 

[Darkstrike]

Truly is, I can only imagine how it plays!

That is a LOT of Conklin in one room.


Mine:

Spector Euro 5

Warwick Streamer Bolt-on

Is that Streamer covered in tape!?

Is that Streamer covered in tape!?

Seems to be duct tape, helps him stick the right tone, cover up some bad faults.

Left to right:

Stambaugh ODB 5...Bart XJ coils, afzelia burl top, spanish cedar body
Stambaugh P-style...Aero pickups, one-piece mahogany body
MTD Kingston 5...stock, except for the thumb thingy
Elrick e-volution 5...Bart XJ coils, spalted myrtle burl top, alder body
Elrick e-volution 5...Bart XJ coils, crotch myrtle top, swamp ash body

For me, five basses is plenty. With the exception of the 4-string, I could live with just one of these if forced to by economic circumstances. As it is, I have a hard time making up my mind about which one to load up for a gig. Granted, the Kingston doesn't have the sophisticated tone of the others, but in a pinch I could make do. Lately I've been taking the fretless as a 2nd bass, disciplining myself to sing one set every gig with it. By the end of 2009 my goal is to sing a complete 4-hour gig with it.

This is the first time I've ever photographed all five together. All were purchased new. The two Elricks were surprise gifts from Mrs. 'blue. No, she doesn't have a sister.

I love a chance to post the pics of my basses, even though theyre nothing too special, theyre still my family!!

First up (from left to right) Rex, my 2003 MiM precision i rescued, Ruby, my late 80s Strat, and Roxxanne, my Fender Marcus Miller Jazz bass

Next up is Red, my Epiphone EB3, and a Yamaha RB270J which i borrowed for a while!

Im looking to completely change the Precision: Change the pickups to quarterpounds, add a Badass II bridge, and then a Torty pickguard. Maybe at a later date, a pickup cover too!

 

[TreeFitty]

Ok, noob here, posting pics of 4 of my 5...

'62 Jazz, '69 P, '08 Jazz 1975 reissue MIM

detail pics of '62 Jazz, refinished body but original everything else

2004 MIM Fretless Jazz

i'll post more later, i have a 78 P with a 08 Jazz neck, and Badass bridge.

I've got no pictures of my Takamine acoustic and a six string ACG on order so I guess I'll need to take a family shot when it arrives. until then, here are the basses I have pictures of.

If the third didn't have routing... she would be pickgaurdless too!

 

[J. Crawford]
