the official "Show your basses" thread part 13!

[Rob!]

you guys have some impressive man caves filled with awesome basses.

 

[Fender32]

Thanks Avalon. Untill recently I haven't played it in years, hence the grime that still needs to be cleaned off . They seem to be hard to find one sold on 'bay a couple of days ago for AU $2000!!

Probably because Sting used to play one in the early days of The Police .

Yamaha RBX375 Fretless

I'll make new pics soon, these are awful!

 

[Goatee220]

I think that this is hands down the handsomest Ibanez I have ever seen. Good job on that find!

Thanks, Avalon! For $375 I couldn't go home without it.

I currently have a bass stable of 4!

Fender Marcus Miller - Fender MiM Precision - Washburn Taurus T-24 - Epiphone EB3

I'm currently toying with the idea of flogging all but the MM Jazz, and buying either an American Standard Precision, or a Lakland 44-02 or something. Anyone fancy talking me in/out of this?

 

[los100malditos]

Why Lakland copies Fender Basses?

 

[pgullo64]

So here we have a '96 Relic Jazz, a 2001 Custom Shop "51 Reissue, a 1961 Precision, a 1971 Jazz, and a late '90's "62 Reissue.

The '96 Relic is my main gigging bass, always come back to it at least after trying something else.

your MIM Precision is not going to be that much of a step below a MIA P Bass. I mean I presume the P Bass is layin down the thump just fine..

You can always trade up the Taurus and Epi for something different to your lineup
Its great to have both a P and a J in your stable
maybe something more active and modern?
Warwick,Spector,EBMM,SBMM etc,....

Yeah thats what i was thinking about last night. I don't really want to get rid of the MiM, so what i'm probably going to do, is sell both the Epi & the Washburn, to fund either a) Upgrades for the MiM (it needs a new bridge) or b)Another bass.

I like Warwicks, Spectors, EBMM, Lakland etc, but i dont think my budget would stretch that far, however, i might be able to get another MiM secondhand, or possibly a 50s Precision or something Will depend on what comes up used!

Here's my bass, a Groovin GWB 520. It's known as "The Chinese Flyer", because it was once tossed 16ft away (such an unfortunate event)...and came back almost unscathed. It sucks, but I love it:

Sorry 'bout the bad pics, all I have is my phone's camera.

The bass may be a beater - the pics may be a bit fuzzy, but like that you were able to come in here and enthusiastically "show and tell" about your bass. Rock on my brother!

Just FYI, I have attempted to post the photo 4 times from two different photo services and nothing seems to be working. I'm going to quit before I put my fist through my laptop.

So I have one Guitar hanger on my living room wall and just to help with future arranging, I hung all of my guys from the one hanger and cut and pasted this montage.

[AciDBatH666]

My two. Ibanez BTB405(I think it's a 405, Got it used and LOVE it).
And the new B.C. Rich Trace Warbeast. I got it in the mail yesterday actually.

Been having the BTB for a couple of years. First bass I've ever had (Converted over from 15+ years on and off of guitar). Got the Warbeast because I needed a 4 string for some metal playing and wanted something lighter (and wanted something mean looking). I like it, but I can feel the difference in quality when compared to my BTB. I've grown even more fond of the BTB after playing the Rich.
