Undecided…. Probably my ’78 Stingray but I might switch it up for the ‘83 L2000 at the last minute.

I know, you should have kept it!
Mine are 34" scale lengths though. Yours was 35". What is the Nighthawk?
Haha. True. There are a number of basses I probably should have kept. But that's the way it goes.I know, you should have kept it!

My TM5 is 34" scale. It's brilliant. Eventually I'll find another VM5... maybe one not quite so relic'd.
MTD Z5, and I carried a Beatles knock-off because we did a few Beatles covers. Rogue. Bandmates laugh because it (seriously) is like a toy but it really puts out fat and full notes.
I took a Kala Uke bass to a gig and got the same reaction… til I played it and it was huge.
No gig this weekend, but next friday will be playing my Yamaha BB2024x with recently strung TI Flats in a 90s covers band.
Becoming a Gretsch guy. The big orange one is the primary.
Thursday was a Sterling Ray 34 HH with 40th Anniv. Squier P in LPB as backup. Last night modern Epiphone Newport in Pacific Blue with modern(ish) Dano Longhorn as backup and NS Design Wav 4. Tonight Mensinger long scale Joker B 5 string with Warmoth Gecko 5 (medium width neck, 35" scale, Bart pickups and pre) as backup.

I like how you rotate. I tend to fixate on one bass at the neglect of the others.
Thanks! Actually, it's 3 different bands. The first is variety pop/rock. Second is roots rock and the like (hence the EUB and more period appropriate electrics). The third is rock, but they transpose some songs so it's less of a PIA to use a 5 string than tune down or transpose up.

I got my two gigs in for the week already.
Wednesday was my 93 StingRay 5.
Thursday was my 93 Ric.

As time goes by I find myself gravitating more and more to my old Peavey Fury, as I did for my gig last night.
Usual rig for the annual Veterans Hospital Christmas show.
My maple cap parts p. Nice lightweight with a good tone.
Mesa D-800 and Subway 15, parts p-bass (precision special neck, 72 body, custom shop 62 pickups), Yamaha BB 300 converted to 5 string with a Wilkinson bridge, with a Bartolini pickup, and some pedals.
More importantly, LLBean down coat, Overland Sheepskin hat, cuddle duds thermals, a couple of Eddie
Bauer Flannels, and random Amazon fingerless gloves. Winter festival last night at King of Prussia Town
Center outside Philly with the Joel/John Project (+some Christmas music). It was 27 degrees by the end of the night. With the heat this summer, the temperature differential between our coldest and hottest gigs this year was 68 degrees!
