Happy Friday. Here is what is in heavy rotation at the moment. The Mono Neon might not be for everyone in terms of color way, but the neck and electronics are amazing!
Thanks! Let's see, 4 columns, times 7 apiece, equals 28. Yep!
And there's a handful of acoustic (or electrified acoustic) instruments as well (3 guitars, mando, uke, banjo), although no acoustic bass
, that I suppose bring the total to 34.But I've been playing a lonnnggg time, haha. And (believe it or not), the most I've spent on a guitar is $850 USD (the TV Yellow LP Special), and much less for the basses, they are $300 or under!
Oh and to @drooartz, as far as my string-changing fortitude goes, I am extremely lazy in that regard.

Funny how the time passes, and all the sudden we've been doing this a really long time. That's how I wound up with my group, one at a time over many years.
And I can respect the lazy.
It comes with socks???
My one and only freshly unpacked…..
My number one. I spend hours with this bass every single day. Very versatile. Sounds amazing with my jazz trio. I'm a big fan of Ibanez.
It does. You can also buy them separately. I bought the socks and then my wife bought me the bass!
You got the good end of THAT stick.
Not enough X's in sexxxxxxy.

I've started using the '54 Warmoth more and it's starting to feel real good.
A Precision Bass. 1985 Squier body, 2018 Steve Harris neck (?) and Fralin 5% overwind pickups. Super Steel round wounds.
That Cowpoke Special is gorgeous. I don't know that I have ever seen one like that. I haven't seen many but that one is stunning..1995 Fender "Cowpoke" Precision Special with custom Aero PJ pickups
They're both quite elegant in their simplicity.
Right on, thanks for noticing, I was going for that vibe...
Sure thing! Well executed!
