I have two
The first is a mid-90's Samick Artist Series 5-string with the PJ configuration (in black). It's all sentimental for me. That was my first bass.
The second is a Steinberger Q5 (Nashville with Bart pickups). Of the things I remember about that bass, that thing had the tiniest neck I've ever played on but sounded like a monster. Of course I was also playing it though a Mesa/Boogie M6 with a 4x10 half stack which may have had something to do with it, but I'm kind of fuzzy on that point. I only played the bass once.)

My first bass was the right half of yours in the solid copper color.You must have been really poor. They were only worth $100 back then. Heck, in 1974 when I first saw one for sale new it was only $100
This is mine:
30th Anniversary Stingray.
My favorite of all time. I had trouble finding them for a while. Now I have two. Still looking for the lightest one possible!

It was sold here in Sweden atleast, saw them at my local music store about 2 years back
I have two:
1) Gibson EB-750
2) Ibanez SR 1300 PD
I have a friend that has 3(!) EB-750s who WILL NEVER sell one.

Didn't even know those existed, now on my GAS list, thanks. I think.I have two:

Blame this guy for the EB-750 lust (also the aforementioned individual):
I had two.
The first was an early (pre-Triumph) Les Paul Bass. Finally picked up this '69, so that's one down...
The other is a Hamer B12S. The short-scale 12-string.
I missed the boat on one for sale here at TB a couple of years back. Still kicking myself!

I bought a Fender Jazz Active Deluxe from a friend of mine for $125. It was the off white color with a tort pickguard, it was sweet! The only thing I would changed on it would have been the neck, I wanted to put a Geddy Lee neck on it. It needed a set up and I did the best I could without new strings. I absolutely loved that bass but I ended up selling because I needed the cash. It broke my heart but I know I made the right choice and it won't be the last bass I buy for sure. I know I'll never be able to buy another for that price but for now my Spector is doing an excellent job. greatwhitebuffalo
