That a winner!
 
Pretty new to TB so it took me a while to figure out what NBD and NAD meant... So these are 'pretty' new. Had the Synapse a couple of months - my first bass after wanting to pick one up since about junior high. The LH1000 has been with me about a week, and the 410 is from a recent TalkBass classifieds transaction.

So much to learn...


how are you liking the synapse so far? they are in my sights as something to get
 
Kind of new to the bass world so this is my only bass. It's a Peavey Millennium AC BXP 4 (The picture really doesn't do it justice) I know this is an inexpensive bass and won't live up to the big boys on this thread but I love it anyway :)

I like it a lot, but as it's my first bass I have no basis for comparison.

It's light and well balanced, stays in tune, has an excellent setup, and I find it to be easy to play although I have a lot of learning to go. It has good evenness of tone across the strings and a clean tone with either the acoustic or piezo pickup - or anywhere between. I have absolutely no issues with fit or finish anywhere.

I haven't been able to play nearly as much as I'd like (day job keeps getting in the way and the spring yardwork season is here with a vengeance) so it still has the factory strings and I haven't started down the path of finding replacements.

The white 5-string bass was selected to complement my black Steinberger [Spirit] guitar from the early 90's.
 
Three early-80's Precision Specials? Wow, just wow. I wish I could get one, but I've never ever seen a lefty version of this model, I don't know if Fender even made any.

I think they never produced a left-hand PB Special.
They are actually the most underrated perfect PB's with traditional Sound plus the active system where you can get more modern and hifi Sounds out of it.
All Sound Engineers have been always happy with the sound coming just out of an EBS Amp in all neutral position. Just the pure bass sound.
The two red ones travelled with me half world and saw many stages during my touring years in the 90's.
