My 1976 Musicman Stingray
B002414, had it since 1983. One of two owners. Previously owned by David Thumbs Johnson (RIP) of Nantucket. Half the wear is his, half of its mine. Still rings like nothing else on the wall. Picked it up after months, still in tune.

Beautiful '76'er. This one started a revolution. I tell players you ever get the chance on one,
don't pass it up. Cheers.
I got number 8 in this week.
8. Squier Sonic Bronco Black
It's already modified to my liking, as I already had most of the the parts on hand or modified the parts as needed.
After so many years on TB, don’t think I’ve ever posted to this thread!
Of all the amazing instruments I’ve owned, here’s my current line-up:
Lovin’ Fender Custom Shop basses a lot lately:
And of course my one and only active bass and only 5 string, the pinnacle of my collection since I’ve owned it for nearly 5 years now, my 2015 Wal MK2:

I have a new blondie relationship. Scored a nice 1 piece pine body, which was just asking for the maple Allparts neck that I have on reserve for a long time. We've got a sub-7 pound P and the strings should take a while before they break in to fully judge the tone. She doesn't seem to be lacking anything.
That is a great looking Bass!!!
Got these two recently. 1976 Jazz bass and a 1998 Warwick FNA. Im glad they are relatively light, and sound good. Traded a Bass for the Jazz and bought the warwick locally.
Got this one last week because I was looking for a different pickup style than I already owned. Sounded great right out of the box. Had to put a new bridge, string retainer, and strings on it (purely because of personal preferences). Wasn’t keen on the color, but the price was good- now that I have it I absolutely love the color/style.

Sire is definitely taking place in bassists heart over the last few years, their necks are soooooo comfortable ! Looks like a pro bass to me, very nice.
My Laura Lee (Khruangbin) Tribute Jazz Bass 
It is a heavily modified Fender Player. Only the body, pickguard and bridge are original.

Wow. Lots of gorgeous basses! And then there’s this one. It’s a beater Squier I’ve had for a couple years that I painted. It could use a new bridge, and probably pickups at some point, but it honestly plays great and has a cool vibe. And if somebody spills a beer on it at a gig it would probably just be an improvement.
