The One Bass

The only bass I currently use and own is my Fender Precision from the late 90's, so it is pretty simple that it is the bass I would keep for whatever reason. I am sure I will get another bass or basses eventually, however it will still be the one I keep because of it's sentimental value to me and it's just solid as s***.
 
Thanks RaginRog it's from my old bands first album back in 04.

Nice. While I was on Youtube I did check out a couple more videos (while sick and immobile on my couch), and noticed you guys are a Christian band...the audiences are really nice, and really get into your music (I'm sure that's partially due to the message it has). Must be nice.

I play in a punk band (though I grew up on typical 70's and 80's rock and metal), and if the audience doesn't care for our music....they go out for a cigarette break.
 
This one.

First bass I refinished and it came out so much better than I had dared hope. Plays and sounds great.
 
My 1978 or so Modulus Bassstar. Bar none it is the best playing sounding bass I have ever owned. Of the 21 in my stable, and the dozens I have owned other than that, this is the one...

Wow--that's a 5'er! I thought the Bass Star was only 4 strings. That neck looks like the narrow-5'er I've dreamed about! MORE PICS and where can I get one!!!!!!! WHOOOO-EEEEE!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm glad I don't have to make this decision for reals, but since we're playing, I'd say out of the five I'd have to go with my 1989 4001V63.

Now set up with D'Addario Chromes, it is the most versatile, comfortable, and beautiful bass I (currently) own. I love it more every time I play it!

BTW, oldrookie, the finish on that P-bass is outstanding. Nice job!
