What is your main bass? Poll

[Thumb n Fingers]

I mainly am now playing with the Yamaha 6 string in my icon, but it's basically a 6 string jazz bass. I voted jazz style bass and other. Other being if you didn't want to consider the Yamaha as a jazz style bass. And if you did, then the next most played axe is a true Jazz bass.

Lakland 55-01 with Audere preamp. Wonderfully versatile!

 

[Nedmundo]

G&L M-2500.

 

[Plectrum72]

Fender P/J, specifically a MIJ Jazz Bass Special
Yamaha BB235 has me covered for a 5 string PJ.

Other...or more accurately None since what I play depends on how I'm feeling that day.

That Nordstrand is beautiful!

Yes, Carey made some amazing basses back in the day.

I often use my Sheff Lakland, but you guess, you didn't put the Laklandish style body .

What body/finish is that ?

 

[Dynomuttasaurus]

Main gigging bass is an Aria Pro II IGB-RC.

Mostly I grab the Lakland fretless 5 and bring the Peavey Cirrus 5 Tiger Eye along as a spare that maybe I'll play if we knock out the good fretless tunes early. Or vice-versa.

Sometimes, if I'm tired and/or sore from work or whatever, I'll just grab the Precision and do that.

If it's something that begs for flatwounds with some attack, I'll bring the Alembic Series 4-string. It would be my main bass if it were a 5, and mostly my son has been gigging with it in his power trio Milkwalker.

For jazz gigs, Ibanez single-cut 6-string gets the call, with either the Lakland or the Peavey as backup.

Big band gigs get the Alembic.

So I'm all over the place, and it's good as far as I'm concerned.

PJ and Steinberger(s)-types, with the T-40 coming up on the outside.

But recording only right now, of course, and only really jams in the last cuppla.

#1 Sadowsky PJ 5

Man, I love that fretless. And I hate maple necks, but that bass is minimalist personifried.

 

[Deathblade Eric]

1979 Aria SB-900

 

[mikeswals]

Casino dance/r&b band. My main pair of gigging basses since 2016, Wal Mk3 5ers.

 

[Admiral Thrawn]

StingRay. All day. Every day.

 

[Pings Bass]

uh... no G&L/Tribute love in the poll? Main BG is an L2500 so "other" I guess.

70s Jazz would be #2.
