A very worn G&L.
Refinished '69 precision.
Cheap but brilliant Harley Benton MB4.
Some weird unbranded thing, possibly an Ibanez, not sure. Fairly cheap and cheerful but plays well enough.
Acoustic bass, brand name eludes me.
Daughters J&D 3/4 size JB.

your ric and gibson together just engaged my drool function....
Here's one I just got yesterday for Christmas, it's an ESP D5.
That’s a Marcus Miller signature. He had a Sadowsky pre-amp. Yours has a Fender version stock. It may have been changed though.
I won’t ask because I don’t want to be tacky but I’m glad you got it for a good price! Being able to find these is difficult to begin with, and when you do they’re expensive. Big time congratulations! I’m also very jealous.
Excellent bass! I have a pair of these in the walnut version.
The wonderful Girlfriend surprised me with this on Christmas. She went above and beyond, and I’m a lucky guy! It’s amazing!
Finally finished my project. Last year at this time I picked up this SX for $100. It is one piece of beautiful, translucent blue ash.
This year I totally rebuilt it,
-a roasted maple neck from Warmoth
- Schaller black tuners
-Gotoh black bridge
-Bartolini b-axis pups
-Dunlop strap locks
- Fralin control plate
-Strung with D'addario flats
Looks, plays and sounds like everything I've been dreaming of, all for about $ 800 total investment.

My white one with. I think you may have answered my question.
got a new bass for Christmas...she really sings...p.s....I love my wife!!

I think mine was fated. I saw it on Craigslist and had read good things about SX's here, and I'm a patsy for blue basses. When I saw it in person it called me like Jumanji.
@AB Nate
That's a sweet blue bass you have there. Glad mine could be an inspiration.

I got the 5 string version 2 Christmases ago. Wonderful instrument. I need to play mine more.
That’s a gorgeous bass. More info please. I’ve never seen one before.
I love those, congrats! My girlfriend got me a Jack Casady pictures above. We’re lucky dudes!
Man, that's a Fender Marcus Miller. The preamp is Marcus signature preamp that he developed with Fender. That's one of the best active Jazz Basses ever made, IMHO.
yes that's it!! It really plays beautifully, and while it doesn't sound exactly like an upright (nothing does) it does have a beautiful acoustic tone and mwah for days. It came beautifully set up from the factory and has a very thin and fast neck. It is also extremely light; like 5 pounds or less. We are still getting to know each other but I would highly recommend this bass!!
