What's your "Beater" bass?

[Matt Dean]

Somehow I've landed two premium (and one somewhat rare) bass guitars. I’ve advertised two other bass guitars to recoup some of the expense I incurred; neither have sold. I lowered the price of one, a Fender P bass, to the point where I feel like I’m ripping myself off. So, I’ve decided to keep it as a beater bass. It’s a 2013, AVRI ‘58.

Ha! I just loaned/gave my beater bass to my son, who just announced to me he’s going to learn how to play the bass guitar.

'17 4003S.
My go-to bass.
I'm not "careless" with it, but I'm not concerned if it gets a ding or chip, as it already has a few.

An EB-3 husk with a Dimarzio fauxbucker, an aftermarket bridge pickup, and only 3/4 working settings ... and no back panel. Sounds real boingy with Chromes with even a hint of tone on the bridge pickup.
