After lurking these talkbass threads for the last decade, I’m happy to finally share my current basses.
Nice. I'm curious what model is the last (black) one?
Thanks! That is Fender Big Block P Bass

From Left to Right
2007 Sadowsky M5-24, Japanese - "Smurf" bought it new from Atlanta bass gallery - has been my faithful companion all these years, because of it, many of my bass player friends ended up buying Sadowsky basses. Amazing, tone, one of the best all around basses in the world, Has a lot of sentimental value as it has traveled with me everywhere....Frets are still in amazing shape and it sounds just as good as new
2018 Roscoe Custom SKB3005 - "ROSCOLINY" Bought this bass 4 years ago at an AMAZING price (This is a $6500 custom bass today) - I dont like Barts so I put in Aguilar DCBs paired with the best preamp in the workd, John East - This is an incredible piece of Art, Keith Roscoe has the highest build quality in the business - This is my go to bass for modern, latin, and gospel.
2024 Ibanez ANB205 Adam Nitti model - "RT BASS" This bass has been heavily modded! I mode the neck, pickups and bridge, replaced the pickups to Delano paired with Nordstrand 3b pre, the pickups are 3" OC because I wanted that Justin Raines Saratoga modern jazz tone, and It has it!! this bass is a lot of fun to play it, it has growl and you can push it and dig into and It will respond back!! this is the bass I grab to practice at home
2022 Sadowsky Metroline jazz bass, 24 frets, high gloss finish - "BLUE" picked this one up on a trade and man I love Sadowsky! this bass is amazing, really love the 24 frets, perfect for soloing, chording, improv, perfect weight, perfect neck
2023 Sadowsky Will Lee 5 - "GRANDPA" This bass has the BEST B string in the jazz bass world! The nut width is just right and the 22 frets makes this a very playable bass!! I played it first time this past weekend and I got so many compliments!! the will lee pre is very nice, it is growing on me!
This is my current collection and I don't really need anything else! NO 4s for me, NO 6s for me, I don't like PJs, I dont like single cuts, I dont like Ps, I dont like MMs.....this is what works for me!! cheers....s

Bought some La Bella gold strings for my Stingray fretless and.... Hated how sticky they are... So took them off...
Decided to stick them on my fretted Ray and they look really amazing and compliment the look of the bass perfectly.... But also are too sticky to keep on permanently... But it looked so cool I took a couple of pics.

My favourite bass I own. Strung with Dunlop Stainless Steels 40-100
Got bored, took pictures. I have a problem...

Wow. That's a lot. There are two MusicMan basses in there I don't think I have ever seen before. Can you elaborate on those?
I believe the 5 in red is a 25th anniversary "reflex" and the other is a limited edition big Al, Dargie Delight 2, color shift. Not very common to find the latter.
Any fans of Status Graphite here?
Details brother, us TB geeks need details. What is the story, make, and models of these beauties?
That is a sweet looking bass!
And a really nice case as well.
I would like some more details!
How much does it weigh?
Let's see the back!
More pics!
Here are my 70's P basses : 75 / 74 / 78
