Top 10 Basses you currently own!

Hmmm, not putting alot of time into actual preference, but here are ten of my faves:

1. Kubicki Key Factor - 5
2. Steinberger Synapse - 5
3. Yamaha TRB1005
4. Carvin LB76 - Maple
5. Carvin LB76 - Walnut
6. Carvin LB75P w/piezo
7. Steinberger Synapse-5 Fretless
8. Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
9. Peavey Cirrus BXP-5
10. Traben Array Spalted Maple - 5
Honorable mention: and a whole army full of the best bang for you bass buck basses: SX, TBC and Wishbass
 
Ranked by how often they get played these days:

1) MTD 435
2) Roscoe LG3000
3) '82 G&L L-1000
4) '64 Fender Jazz
5) G&L SB-1

plus:

6) Aria Sinsonido (my travel bass for practicing when I'm out of town)

I have a few others, but these are all I really want or need now, and the MTD gets 90% of my playing time anyway.
 
Time to post #5, a Fender Custom Shop 40th Anniversary P-Bass, #098 of 400 produced.
