What's your one true "Forever Bass"?

[knirirr]

The one I mentioned here:

Why a Jazz bass?

My spare bass is the same configuration but made up of aftermarket parts.

My Brubaker JXB 5 just covers it all.

What bass do you have that would be your one and only, go to, forever bass?
Just curious. I have had many over the years, and just thinking what it may be if I were to have only one to fit all.... Hmm...

No such thing.

I don't think that one bass could fit all our musical desires....

It took a really long time to find my forever bass, but it finally happened early this year.

After getting my latest Mike Lull M5V, I’ve sold my other basses became it was unfair that they sat around getting no use at all.

I kept my ESP fretless bass, but I can’t see playing anything else these days...

(Yeah, something odd is going on. This pic posted 3 times. Had to delete 2 of them)

I have two that I have no intention of selling: a 71 P fretless that I am the original owner of, and a 69 Telecaster (see avatar pic) that I’ve owned since 76. I have others I play and like but these two have both sentimental and musical value.

Mine used to be the 76 Ric, but as of 2019 there's a new forever bass...

Still need that Ric???

My #1 for the past 15 years ... FBB fretless 6

In my case, such a bass doesn’t exist.

But that said, I can get just about anything to work for me. And while there are some basses I greatly prefer to play, at the end of the day almost any bass will do just as well for me.

I have two, a four and a six string. My four string is a Spector Euro LX I picked up a few years ago. I had work done on it at the Spector USA workshop (I live by it) and Stuart signed it for me. Great bass. My second is a Carvin LB76w. Great bass that plays well.

My Warwick Streamer Stage 1 was/is my dream bass. I found it in nearly new condition for a (relatively) cheap price in a store last xmas eve & bought it the next day. Of course there are a few other basses I'd like to own someday, (original Steinberger, Strandberg, '58 style P bass, an Alpher) but I'm not sure any of them would replace it as the #1.
