Two nice pairs

I've thinned the herd down to four basses, they're a couple of odd couples.

Two US Peaveys, about as classy and cheesy as they come. Early 2000s Cirrus 6 Maple, and early 90s B-Ninety in Raspberry Pearl.

The Cirrus is all original, 35" scale and strung with D'Addario PRO XLs, I can get any tone I need out of it and it plays so sweet.

I pulled the active electronics from the B-Ninety and slapped a set of EMG Geezers in it, it's sounds awesome and it's fun to play. I bought both used.

Two Squiers from the Vintage Modified Series.

I bought the Telecaster Bass new on clearance from an online retailer, it's 32" scale and strung with D'Addario Chromes. It brings the thud, and I put a lot of stickers on it.

I bought the Precision Bass used in the local classifieds, it was in great condition at a good price. After getting it home, I noticed that the pickup was not the stock Duncan Designed split P, but a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder. Strung with Fender flats and sounds just like a P Bass should.

Just thought I'd share, have a great weekend everyone!

I love the Cirrus and the B Ninety looks good, and is almost pink enough.

That would get me expelled from the Ronald Reagan club. Damn hippies.
 
Clarence White said that stickers on a Telecaster are okay. Who am I to argue? The stickers started off with the cool Pickathon coyote logo between the pickup and the bridge. It looked pretty classy with just that one and then the Oregon rainbow on the pickguard. Then I got another sticker I liked, and another one. Then I let my daughter put some stickers on it. Then I put some more stickers on it.
