After seeing the 3 together like this, I put the black pickguard back on the Vintage Modified Precision.
The black one looks much better.
The new kitchen table set up. Gonna buy a Revsound cab too, and then just take the board between the two spots. Place for one more mini pedal too..hhmmmm?
Yamaha TRBX305, bone stock. (My first Bass).
Blame my wife. She got it for me for Father’s Day. I’m a lucky guy...
Ha funny you should say that. When I went to slide it under the bookcase out of the way I noticed a bunch of mouse poo. So vacuumed that up, set a trap and kept playing.
But yah cheer for the amp, I'm thrilled it fits so easy on the board!
Jumping in here! I’ve owned a handful of P basses over the last 4 years - from Squier to American Fenders and this Highway 1 refin takes the cake for me. David Allen pickup, Kelling wiring harness, and flats. Can go from Motown to metal with a turn of the knob!
I have a few others I need to sell off, but the collection is pretty much complete...
An 80’s BC Rich koa fretless mockingbird is the only other one I can think I need...

For the almost 26 years I have been a bassist, I have always had, in my mind, an idea of the basses I wanted. At this point I have owned an array of basses (somewhere in the realm of 58) and never a one (with a couple of exceptions) that completely fit my bill of needs in it's entirety. I've always loved jazz basses and relied heavily on them for the vast majority of my recording and live playing. Recently, I have been building a number of parts basses and trying different combinations of bodies, necks, pickups, caps, strings, etc. (you can guess the number of permutations of the latter, let's just say hours and months of trials). After all of my trials, I landed on two builds that, at this point, I couldn't be happier with... here's the basses and details:

Here's my latest video! Reviewing my Sterling Ray5HH, the new budget double humbucker 5 string from Sterling. This thing looks great on paper, but how does it play and sound? Let's find out!
* Noob alert *
This is what I'm plucking, caressing, and (by and large) not understanding:
Ibanez ATK 300 (new—and complicated—to me, but vibing this earth since 1995).

For a Noob, you sure did pick a nice instrument to pluck and caress
.Welcome and enjoy.
Very cool bass, the ATK models get a lot of love around here. Maybe this will help it seem less complicated:
The boost/cut knobs all have a middle indent which indicates flat, then you can add or take away from each frequency range (bass, mids, and treble)
