Whose Main Bass Is A Vintage (Over 30)

[Papa Walsh]

My 72 fender jazz is just about the only bass ill play anymore, I've just learned to never let it leave my sight during gigs

my '74 jazz.

Nice bass! What kind of strings do you have on there?

My 1983 Ibanez Musician 924DS P/J, active/passive pups, 4 string, 3 band eq. with dead ground rounds on it is the one I use most for practice and it goes to the few jams I do with my buddies. It's a bit heavy but has a slim, fast 24 fret neck that's easy to play.

I have a 1981 Musician 924DS! It's almost identical to yours and yes - they do weigh a ton!

My '72 Jazz comes with me 90% of the time.

My 68 Ric. It's one of my three regular gigging basses. It's been the only bass I've owned consistently for 20+years. I'll go thru phases where it'll be my main bass, depending on the type of music I'm gigging on.

Here's my '79 4001. This one started out as a fretless bass, but when I bought it in 2007 I had it converted back to a fretted bass. It's amazing. I have owned 4 or 5 4001's over the years and this one is one of my favorites.

Thanks!

Daniel

My 81 G&L L1000 is my go to bass. I bought it used in the early 90's. It had another MDF pick-up put in by Mike Lull so it's kind of a L-2000. I bought a few basses over the years thinking they would dethrone it.......hasn't happened yet. Someday it will be the last bass I ever play.

My oldest bass is a 1983 T-40. I wouldn't say it's my main player, but I don't have one right now since I haven't gigged in ages.
