Who’s Got Twins?

[bobyoung53]

I forgot: Twin SVTs

 

[Riff Ranger]

I have two sets of twins. When I bought my first 5 string I wanted it to match my '79. Then I bought a white four string. Fender does not offer this color combo, so I bought two basses and switched out the parts. The one in the middle is the red headed stepchild (leftover parts).

I got twins times three.
They were only made 1979-82, so i have bought enough to last me my lifetime

My main player for years was a VP795. In fact, after I decided to switch to 5 strings and sold it locally, I contacted the fellow that bought it and tried to buy it back! I loved that bass.

I even bought the VS600 guitar to go with it (which I still have).

Ahem. Back on topic: No pic, but I USED to own a matched set of GWB basses. The original GWB1 fretted and it's fretless twin. Great basses. Couldn't get along with the ramp.

One of these has flats, another is fretless and one is a solid body. I'll let you figure it out.

Ya'll are crazy! So much multiplicity up in here! I love it!

Carvin BB75 and BB75F, made back when, you know, Carvin did that sort of thing

Finished neck and unfinished neck? What a pair!

Actually both are finished...One painted black and one clear gloss.

One is in standard tuning and the other lives most of the tine a half step down.

This is my Maton JB4 in two styles.
I also have quadruple Lab System amps.
This is my current set up for Wish You Were Here Album Cover... that we are working on.

 

[Pauly 4001]

These are closely related I guess:
a pair of Warmoth 8 strings; one fretted and one fretless.

Are the position markers centered on the fretted one? One thing I thought I remembered about that model was the offset dots.

Lefties seem to be centered, mine is.

My FrankenSpectors.

Twins! Well, fraternal twins I guess. Both brand new MIM Jazz basses. I was stuck on Ibanez for years (still am) but wanted to get on the Fender train. I’m not disappointed.

 

[Honkey tonk]

twins nope .

 

[grrg63]

Mid 80s medium scale Japanese fraternals, one with rounds, one with well worn half rounds that sound like flats.

 

[nickTpostman]

I’ve always wanted to get my hands on one of those mediums

 

[barginkov]

How about these .brothers from a different mother

Alembic Distillates, fretted and fretless...

 

[nickTpostman]

The only real twins are the black later model foundations... one is a lined fretless the maple fretboard is a fretted. The USA cirrus was adopted... and there's a early year sunburst that's the most recent addition to the family... I'll update the family picture in the near future. It is interesting to see the subtle differences of the basses through the years and I'm pretty sure the combined cost of all the foundations was something less than the Cirrus...and I paid $700 for the Cirrus.

Just picked up my first USA Peavey recently. 1993 Forum Plus that still had plastic on the pickguard. Very happy with this score and love the feel of this neck!

I'm strictly anti-twin, though I'm not a performer. The more different they are, the easier it is to get my wife to say yes.

For me it's the opposite. If they all look similar, the wife thinks is the only one I have
