What is your main bass? Poll

[nonohmic]

Single coil P-bass,built by my own fair hands.

OK between the scars,tattoos,calluses and bust knuckles nobody could describe my hands as "Fair"

Chunky neck. Solid lump of Southern Yellow Pine slab. Monster split/single wound to 29.9k. Noll preamp.
Strung with a set of TI jazz flats.

That is sweet!

P & J. Two of the finest Squiers ever made, imho!

G&L L2000
I have three other very nice basses but the G&L is on another level entirely.

Yes they are...

 

[ELG60]

Fine, make me hate myself even more for being so trendy with my Precision strung with flats. Ugh.[/Q

Luddite!

 

[kodiakblair]

That is sweet!

Thanks.
Been refined a couple of times last 2 years, tried a few different pickups before sticking with the big fella.

My usual is a Hofner 182 (thump-a thump-a thump-a!). My change-it-up one is a Stingray.

Which ever one I think will be the best choice for that particular gig. Usually bring two or three (fretted, fretless, backup). Currently there are fourteen to choose from. Even though I can get any gear combination to sound reasonably close to what is needed, I pick the gear over what is expected visually and what inspires me to think in certain terms musically. Some instruments make me approach music from a different viewpoint than others and as a result I play more in that style than I would on a different bass. If you wanted to play metal you probably wouldn't grab the Hofner 500-1 first. <NOT the best bass for metal!

This Gibson SG is the one I am reaching for these days. Love how it feels and looks. Love the deep fat tones.

That’s a clean BB2000 - dig! Is it totally clean with no dings?

My main axe is an EBMM Sterling HS!

My only gig in the near future is accompanying a couple of girls who sing and play acoustic, so I like the Ibanez SR706 or SRC6. One of them loves the XL2 though, so that may come out on occasion.
