You may only have TWO basses.

[russjm]

These two are just fine for me:

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz and a Fender H1 Jazz with Villex pickups.

 

[vinxbass]

'08' MIA Fender Jazz V -

Squier FVM Fretless w/Bartolini 9J1 pups (pic is before I installed the Barts) -

 

[idorky]

my working axes......
jazz 5 and manne

 

[bassist4dalord]

Easy... Fender MIA Standard '08 Jazz and Precision.

 

[progrockbass]

These two my Geddy and my Jaco....

 

[Dan Knowlton]

My Ken Lawrence Brase 5 (single cut) and the Alleva Coppolo LG-5 (red one).

Dan K.

 

[richnota]

Always a tough one....

probably my Rob Allen Deep 5 and MB2 "blondie"

But Blondie might loose to my new Tom Clement Piezo 6....its incredibly versatile.

 

[buzzbass]

Hmmm, probably my Zon Sonus 5 and my Bongo 5 H/S. I'm also quite fond of Valenti # 43, although my bandmates have requested that I leave it home. They say it's too deep sounding. I think it's more an issue with the crappy stack @ the rehearsal space(behringer) They want me to play the bongo for everything.

My Nordy VJ5 and G&L L2500 would cover all my bases and suit me just fine.

 

[ausf]

Fretted P, Fretless J.

 

[kmanley_29649]

I currently only have two, and they are the only two that I need:

Hot-rodded P-bass knockoff with BadassII and Dimarzio Split-P's

Shen SB80 upright

 

[funkythumb]

My Sadowsky UV-70, 5 string jazz and my MTD 535.

 

[rarbass]

Ibanez SR505
Warwick Corvette Std. Fretless

 

[amimbari]

Did you mean what you would like to own as your 2 basses, or what you have now in the collection?

If you meant units people already own:

this is an easy answer for me since I only own 4 basses, my main 2 are in the pic. Every sound I could possibly imagine can be achieved on one or the other depending on the EQ situation/amp. the other 2 are playtoys, and don't get used at all to play out with unless we got booked into a club that has a chicken wire fence in front of the stage, blues brother's style..lol...

 

[allennobles]

SR5 & MIA Deluxe P

 

[j.a.e.r.i.p]

60's jazz bass
70's p bass

 

[Gard]

Roscoe Century Signature VI Fretless, Bubinga/Swamp Ash body, Wenge Wedge neck w/Lined Fretless Bird's Eye Maple Diamondwood, Nordstrand DC6's w/Audere 3ZB preamp.

Roscoe Century Signature VI Fretted, Solid (one piece) Swamp Ash body (satin natural finish), Wenge Wedge neck w/African Tulipwood fingerboard, Nordstrand Fat Stack w/Aguilar OBP-3.

(Honorable Mention: NS Design CR5M)

 

[loend68]

My Spector NS-2 and my '73 Jazz

Pretty much covers anything. Of course that doesn't explain all the other basses I have....

 

[Thump Jr.]

Ideally, a 6-string Stealth Black Bongo HS and a blueburst/maple L-2500. Should be able to do anything I need/want in style. And maybe someday, my ship will come in and I can actually have them. XD

My Reality...

Ken Smith BMT Elite 6 G Fretted / BSR Elite 6 G Frettless
