Here's my latest. Finished this last week. Bought a blank Fender MIJ body painted in Sonic Blue from the classifieds here last summer.

And now:

Here's my latest. Finished this last week. Bought a blank Fender MIJ body painted in Sonic Blue from the classifieds here last summer.

Nicely done. The black hardware/hs face works well w/the blue. Looks a bit like a P-bass Special from the 80's.

Thank man. I was going with the Duff McKagan look...other than the blue.

Added a couple and flipped a couple, but this is where it stands going into 2015. No plans on ditching any and only 1 or 2 on the GAS list so I'm hoping to hover with these for awhile. In some orderly fashion it's 1)tele/slabby ones, 2)contoured ones, 3)jazzy ones. Trying to actually use a good camera but I'm a caveman with THAT technology because my strings look funny unless it's in ridiculously large full view WTH!?! Anyways...here.

And not a single 5-string in there - seems to me that you need ten or so 5-strings for your collection

Finally got that Sandberg I was lusting after... Well, not a TT but a VM5. What a versatile and great bass it is.

OK... I've posted my Yamaha RBXJM2 on here before (I got it back in May of 2014), but I just picked up a second one in a KILLER deal on ebay, and thought I'd post the TWINS! RBXJM2x2!

Perhaps a little...but it keeps me off the street

Honestly, I just never "felt" one...I'm sure not adverse to adding one if I find "the one". I sure like seeing everyone else's though. Maybe someday.

[GoldMan27]

These are the 2 bass guitars my family has (between me and my dad):

Spoiler: My Dad's 1970s Ventura Semi-Hollow

Spoiler: My Fender Kingman Acoustic

Not the best of cameras (or shooting), but you can at least clearly see the guitars. Actually restrung the Ventura in October, so it sounds real nice.

Bass Porn. Mmmmmmmm

 

[FM Jump]

This is an MTD heir that has been very upgraded. It plays great and sounds just like the recordings I hear of USA's. It was passive and now its active with 18v, John East preamp, Bartolinis, brass saddles ,fret level, UltralLite Gotoh Jazz tuners, full shielding, custom wood cavity cover and truss cover, and a spalted maple top replacing the flame maple.

Not to be cocky, but I know lots of words. My wife would tell you so. Still, I can't put the words together that capture the way this picture moves me. You will have to fill in the blank.

The first thing I noticed was the ergo way the inside of your right arm meets the body of the guitar. It's beautiful...they're beautiful! I play a Ric and a big-bodied bass guitar, and I always wear a sweatband, to...well, you know. How can one company...one organization...do so many things so well? Yamaha bass guitars...across the board...are always to be respected...aspired to.

Something between a Ric, Stingray and Jazz-Bass:
