What's your most versatile bass? (Include Pics!)

[Farrin D]

Recently, I played an open mic night just to jam around with a friend and decided to bring my Fender Dimension IV HH. As the night went on, I was asked by a number of groups to join them on stage (since there appeared to be only 3 of us bass players in the entire crowd). The groups ranged from, Rock to R&B to Pop and I felt my trusty Dimension fit in every situation (so did the bands I played with)! So tell me TB, what's your most versitile bass?

Include pics!

My Precision V is also a very versatile machine:

Very nice basses guys! Keep them coming everyone!

My Rick 4003S. Incredible bass very versatile. Can go from grindy treble to bottom end thump.

Versatile? This Roscoe Beck for a passive bass...

And for active, prolly this monster w/K-switching...

 

[lukatch]

It has to be this one. Although versatility is not a crucial factor for me.

My Roscoe Beck V was very versatile. I used it for my 10 year run with a cover band here in Austin and it always delivered.

Well, currently my most versatile bass is by far the cheapest bass I own. I went through my bass collection not too long ago and cut it down to just a handful of basses. I kept the basses that excelled or were unique in one way or another but realized a little too late that I got a little carried away in doing so, I got rid of my more all-round versatile basses like the Jazz. To be rectified at some point soon.

My most versatile is probably my SR506

My Precision V is also a very versatile machine:

This. In sunburst.

I bought it as a backup to a Fender Roscoe Beck V which is arguably the most versatile passive bass pretty much anywhere. But the Precision 5 fell so well into soany mixes using right hand adjustments and small tweeks on the tone knob. There's not much I can't do with it.

I don't have a pic of mine on this device but I've been recording a lot of variety stuff from R&B, funk, fusion, straight ahead jazz and this does them all well. I have a Sad, Fodera, 68 J, 76 P, etc. plus DBs and this is all I need.

 

[BD Jones]

SR500

 

[Killed_by_Death]

This was mine, but I decided I didn't need versatility:

G&L ASAT. It's similar to a L-2000 only with a healthy dose of neck dive, because the upper horn is too short.

My American Standard Precision.

P for Plug & Play - it sounds like a real bass in any musical context = versatility.

Kubicki Ex-Factor. 18V pre. 2 active & 3 passive settings. Medium scale but with a extended 36 scale fourth string.
Once the clasp is opened your in D but with all your notes transposed two frets. Makes many tunes (but certainly not all) easier to play by condensing the notes on the board. Very balanced. Doesn't move. Great for slap and most everything else. Very versatile for me.
