The 5 string is a 90's Fender Jazz Plus V it's probably my main used bass, I just love everything about it.
The far right one is an Aria SB303 it's only a cheap korean one, I played in a metallica tribute and when I bought this I couldn't find a proper 80's one in black like Cliffs but I came across this really cheap in the back of my local guitar shop. The build quality is excellent and it's got some great tones from 80's pop, classic Aria through to almost Musicman type growl.
They're discontinued now but I'm on the look out for the 5 string version it has impressed me that much.

Here's another one of the Precisions, a 2001 50th Anniversary of the Electric Bass.
Not too many around, I've heard that about 400 were made. Vintage tint neck, trans-butterscotch finish, black annodized aluminum PG. Pretty light, sounds like a P.

Left to Right: Brand spanking new Ibanez SR600(just picked up tonight). Next one is my daughter's Ibanez Mikro bass(she is 3). Last one is a 2009 SR535 5 string. The combo in the background is the new Hartke hydrive 210c, which I also bought tonight. And I told the wife i was just going to get some strings! I didnt lie, the bass came with the strings!!!! She didnt see the humor......
I take it one of these days one of those Bongos will be replaced by either a 25th anniversary or Sabre?
No 25th nor Sabre for me. I want a Classic SR5.
I will probably hold onto to both Bongos.
They have a bit of history especially the green one. It's a Dargie Delight first run that I ordered through a now defunct dealer who never ordered the bass and used the deposit money for drugs. This was exposed once the Dargies started rolling out 9 months after the 10 day ordering period closed and after the production run had ended. Sterling Ball reopened production for me and a couple others who got ripped off by this dealer and exerted pressure on said dealer to make good with our deposits. In short, this bass symbolizes EBMM's commitment to me the average customer. BTW, this is the ONLY Bongo 4HP Dargie Delight made.
The gold one is something we call the Small Equestrian Bongo in the EBMM forum (SmallEQ is also a TB member). The headstock is autographed by Sterling Ball.

What did you do here? is it just a standard with a pickguard. i thinki i might have to get its sister, a Jazz and maple fretboard instead though
Another to add to the collection !!
Still Not decided yet if to keep the P/G clear to show off the burst or go with the black leather looking card under it ?
looks an sounds great anyway!!

^^^Both look cool. Rotate them every month or so.
If he rotates it, it won't fit on the bass right!
Seriously, though, she's right!
