What bass do you plan to get next?

One of these:-)
 
I'm not playing much so an acoustic bass would be fun to have, I sold an Italian made '90s Eko BA-01 coz I felt uncomfortable with jumbo bodies and long scale necks, so I guess next time it will be different.

BTW, I just got myself a Limited Edition (for 2016) Fender American Standard PJ (500pieces all over the World), but having done that I put away the idea of giving myself an Am. Std. J.

A J is always in my mind, as it is for a Music Man Classic, but damn, they'r pricey here in Europe. And then there's a '51 style P. But I would like to get one with nitro finish on. And, hey, that's hard as well.

Besides, an hollow body would be fine too!
 
  1. I would love to add these two beauties to my current "stable"; The Lakeland 55-01 and the Sire (Marcus Miller) V7 Sweeeet!!:D:bassist:View attachment 950854 View attachment 950855

That is a 55-02 in the picture... ;)

The Laklands are nice.. I have a 55-01 and it is just an all around great bass.... at one time I had a Kingston KZ , a Heir, a 55-01 and a 55-02... I decided to keep the heir and the 55-01 and sell the 55-02 and the KZ .... In case you don't know the Heir and the 55-02 share the same pup config... as do the 55-01 and the KZ... The 55-01 stock has the switchable MM pup though.. so I replaced the pups on my Heir and set it up like the 55-02 and couldn't be happier.

Now I suffer inadequacy, and kowtow in everyone's direction, for I am unworthy. My first bass was a Peavey Foundation, which I had to return. Second, years later was a Squier Affinity Jazz, which I sold because i couldn't eat it and wasn't good enough to get anyone to pay me (and not so bad they'd pay me to stop, either). Then, about 5 months ago, scored a Dean starter pack, first owner never opened it. That started things again, and to replace the Jazz I gave up, I just now bought another Squier, this time the Jaguar Special.

Never again will I have to sell a bass for food.

Still, Deans, Squiers and the occasional really thick rubber band are all that are in my reach. I can't even afford to look at what eveyone else is buying.

My next goal is something to replace the Dean Bassola amp... maybe soonish.

My current rig is all hi-fi modern sounding with an ample amount of pedals and modulators.
I am looking to put together a straight forward minimalist more conventional sounding rig:

A Fender Precision Bass American Vintage Reissue '63

or

Sadowsky Vintage 4-21 (NYC)

or

Mike Lull PJ 4

with an all tube amplifier (vintage Ampeg), if not then an all tube preamp section in a class D portable format amplifier (leaning towards a GK MB Fusion 500)
