4 string fretted
4 string fretless
5 string fretted
6 string fretless

The 5 and 6 are my main working basses these days. The 4s haven't left the house in several years.

 

[dirtdobber113]

[GP Bass Mike]

[Bizzy]

Play on 4 string Epiphone Goth T-Bird.

 

[Hank Rearden]

I love my mexican p-bass. The jazz may have a neck that "feels better", but nothing beats the tone you get from a precision.

 

[Eugene_on_Bass]

I got several basses, 4,5 and 6 string fretted and fretless (5 string fretless is acoustic), but I can say my main bass is the 5 string fretted, at least the one I play most of the time.

I'd like to spend more time on the 6 string fretless but the bands I'm playing with need a "fretted" sound.

 

[Old Joe]

At the moment I have 2 four-string fretted (Ibanez SR800 and MIM Fender Jazz) and one six-string fretted (Brice HXB-406). All strung with SS roundwounds. Have a fretted violin bass copy that will have flats on its way. My next one will be a fretless 4 or 6 string.

 

[Mitch Mitchell]

12 years playing 1970/71 Fender P. put it in the cupboard while I ran my business and had a family brought it out 6 years ago when I retired, played it for 4 years, swore I would never play anything else until I walked into The Bassplayer, Annandale Sydney and saw a 5 string toilet seat hanging up in the rack, fell in love with it's beautiful shape, then it's incredible sound and although I love my P I have'nt played the poor old bugger on stage since. But I will. Just have to find a song that I don't use the B on. I love the B. And I really love my Dunny Lid.

[johny martin]

oh, no, that's cool - anything electric can be counted in that spot. i'm just saying, for you uppity folks for whom bass guitar is not good enough ( ) we need to get a poll going wherein you can share the specifics of your particular poisons.

i'm sorta at a loss as to what options would go into another poll. and what would i call it? "what kind of non-guitar electric bass instruments do you play?"

theres always a #10 wash tub a mop handle and a cord oh I play 1, 5 string Ibanez, but the band has 3 four string "basses"
