The Official "Show your basses" Thread - Return to the Octagon

How are you liking your Jaguar? I love mine. Have you had to do any repairs on the switches? (I wanna know if it's a jag problem, or just my bass)

ive been using mine for ages no probs with the switches, its all good

I've narrowed down my selection over the last little while, going for quantity as opposed to quantity and trying to be practical by only keeping the ones I'm actually playing.

• Fender American Standard Precision - (discontinued Sunset Orange)
• Ibanez BTB-1205 ENTF Prestige (Bartolini p/ups & pre)
• Sadowsky Metro RV5PJ-VTC Vintage burst (p/ups by Nordstrand, Sadowsky Vintage pre, 1st Metro PJ5 in Canada)
• Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Deluxe (Suhr p/ups & discontinued Crimson Burst)

That is an awesome collection. You have all the tones covered

yes indeed, sir

 

[NuclearDwarf]

Is that one of those Vintage Modified P Basses? It looks beautiful!

I played a Squire Vintage Modified Jazz Bass and was blown away by how fantastic it sounded even compared to a MIA Fender Jazz Bass.

How does the P Bass hold up?

Yes, it's really good for it's price, sounds awesome. I never though I could get a bass that good that cheap.

just change the strings that comes with it, they are kinda weird

Nah, not at the moment. I've played a few solo shows before, but I'm still working on getting my band's music to the point where it's playable live. If we get anything lined up (maybe by the end of the year), I'll let you know, though.

Sweet setup Ben! Those Brices look good for the price point.

Thanks man! Yeah, the Brice is a good little bass. It's got a super thick, fat tone. I was really surprised. I've only had it for about 2 weeks (traded an audio interface for it), but I'm thoroughly pleased with it. Sadly, it's triggering GAS for a fretless Stambaugh to match my fretted one.

The Brices are really nice. I have a Fretted 6 string. It is awsome. That Stambaugh is sweet!

Hey, I'm new to talkbass, here's my bass.

It's a black Geddy Lee jazz, modded. My favorite color combo.

 

[gnasher1993]

Welcome to TB! That's a cool looking bass, I love the look of Geddys. What preamp have you got in there? Is that a Badass bridge? Stock pickups? What strings are those?

Questions, questions, questions .

Welcome to the best bass site on the net! Nice to see the lady bassists join this fine community!

Taking a quick look at your profile, I had to laugh:

G.A.S. List:
I am probably one of the few bassists that does not have a bad case of G.A.S. =D

not yet...

I had one bass when I joined!

Thanks, I like it.
It's an Audere preamp, Badass bridge, and Dimarzio Model J pickups, and DR Black Beauties.

My dad and brother have been trying to get me to make an account for ages, and I finally did it. Thank you everyone for welcoming me!

Yes, welcome to Talkbass. It's always especially nice to see another fellow female bass player. (that was a mouthful LOL) I've had two Geddy basses. Very fun to play.
