What Kind of Bass Guitar do you Play (Re-loaded)? BE SURE TO REVOTE!

I play a 4 string Lakland 3TBS hollow body, and a Mitchell FB700, and I have a Fender acoustic bass.

 

My collection only includes 5-string fretted basses at this time. No plans to change the situation in the foreseeable future.

 

Yamaha TRBX505, black. The switch on it unfortunately snapped off, and I've held off on repairing it for travel purposes, since I live nowhere near a music store. Truss rod doesn't turn. It just doesn't play very well, so I hope I can get a setup and a part replacement done soon to get it in working order!

 

I have (and use) a couple of 4 string fretted basses, one 5 string each of fretted and fretless, one six string fretted, and an EUB. So several votes, then.

 

All fours. The Jazz Bass was recently acquired. Model names are in my sig line.

 

4 string indeed

 

I've been playing this for the last five weeks or so while my two L2000s, my Reverend Thundergun, Bacchus Woodline and five others, all 4-string basses, collect dust.

 

5-String fretted Hi-C is often my choice when accompanying singers and no other chordal instruments.

Would be interesting to see that…also bass vi (E-E)

 

No BEAD option??

I have 6 basses and all are BEAD 4 string. Not a novelty or option. It’s the only thing I know how to play because it’s been my standard for so long.

 

I alternate between a 2005 Modulus Quantum 6 and a Sadowsky PJ4 with D-tuner

 

What type do I play? A little fast, charismatic with lots of enjoying my rythm

 

It would be interesting to see full scale (34 or 35), multi-scale, and short scale options on here as well now that both seem to be getting much more popular.

 

4 string fretted
6 string fretless
6 string multiscale

 

Owned many four-strings over the years, only kept this one, sadly. I love it though. It was a gift ~20 years ago, and I think the 'statute of limitations' has expired for me to start some needed maintenance and upgrades.


'63 Reissue Jazz in Lake Placid Blue
had a teenage obsession with the 'look' and played with pickup covers over the years... but it's still with me.

 

Well... I re-voted, like the header says; but, other than having several more of them than I had the first time (23 at last count)? It's still "4 string fretless". I have no need or desire for more strings, and frankly, I'm not musically talented enough to try learning to play fretless. Especially at my age, with my increasing lack of dexterity. The basses I have are plenty hard enough to play...

 

Thats a nice bass right there! What model is this?

 

My "other" is an Ibanez ArtCore semi hollow body. Love the sound it gives!

Ibanez short scale 4 string and my pride and joy Lakland 3TBS 34 Hollowbody Lakland, sold all my basses kept those 2 . I turn 70 and now looking for basses that have been trashed that are dirt cheap and refurbish them give them to kids and such

 

Man the Ibanez SR premium and prestige lines have had some beautiful looking instruments over the years.
