Very nice! That is some collection!

I used them for a while, but found they didn't last that long compared to some other makes.

I like the sound I get from mine so much I have been thinking to flog-off the Aguilar TH500 I have been using with the other band and replace it with another Rumble 500 or possible the Stage 800! I think I have about 3 years on my Rumble 3 now.

The MIM Roadworns are pretty good, up there with the USA models imo.

Edit to say, if you don't mind a chunky neck

‘91 5st with upgraded barts. 

Stage1 is BN with barts 

Thumb 5 is ‘89 with emg 

Thumb 6 is ‘89 fretless with barts. I will never need another bass. This bass is perfect 

My old 89 was  full of Barts.

What the heck I'll share.

Small outside gig, Gopro over the bass players side.

7/10 fro enthusiasm 5/10 for the bass playing

Wal action!

Me and it! Some kind of 4k bass. Bought for 5 quid and here at the tender age of 15 (1979) doing my first gig.

Ended up giving it away to a mate, not sure if he still has it.

I have had up to five basses in the past of various makes and models but now I have just three....

 

...and I am very, very pleased with them and GAS free 😎

Nothing more needed I think

Yes, high-level GAS is when ignition occurs, your buttocks get singed and you leap up and get the credit card out!

I'm down to two, but trying to justify a Vintage 4V MN purchase. It's very affordable, it's the right colour combo (no refin needed), the hardware and electrics are of sufficiently good quality  to make upgrades uneccesary, it plays very nicely, it sounds great, it looks the business and... you just can't have too many P basses!

Have I sold it to you yet?

Sounds like you have already sold it to yourself:) High-level Gas incoming.

Looks very tasty I have to say, Maple all day for me.

I have 2 p's one with flats the other strung with rounds, that keeps my p-bass itch scratched.

 I've had low-level GAS for a Vintage P for some time now...

  low-level GAS, I like that saying. I guess high-level is when the impulses take over?

I'm down to 6 now!

Maybe not the most technical But certainly adds to the song and no drop in dynamics

RIP Lemmy!

outstanding, enjoy, I'm sure you will

That's different!

I give up easily so don't try force myself, lot's of great other stuff out there to like.

Must of missed any threads about this,  but just listening now.

Great idea and sounds very professional.

Well done all involved.

Very nice!

Sure sign of GAS - inventing a new category of playing context for which to require a new bass: live - check, recording - check, ah 'jam nights!' Need a JD.. and what about... 'Fretless jam nights!? You need to get that sorted pretty quick too.

Don't forget the classic general purpose 'beater' but I guess your road-worn fulfills that category.

'FRETLESS BEATER!' (Sorry bass Tourettes)

"Nail on the head" I think.

I have a fretless and some beaters already. Slap and tickle I have been perfecting at home now for many years

I would have thought the WAL would give you the excitement you need and far more so than the Jaydee. 

I always fancied a Jaydee too for some odd reason but wouldn't recommend them as they are a specific sound to me. Not as good as i had hoped tho.

Dave

Thanks.

The Wal does now do it all Very happy with it and what I use all the time now with the bands I play in.

I still fancy the idea of that old skool vibe with the jaydee and light strings for a bit of slap and tickle at home.  Maybe I'll take Si's advice and take time to save a bit and see if I really want to move the Roadworn on. The 73 I have a lot of history with and has done the majority of my gigs until getting the Wal.

Edit. Wish I could get my hands on one locally, might extinguish the Gas

You’re considering selling a Precision to buy a Jaydee....for recording purposes?!

......said no-one ever lol

Want the perfect recording bass, keep a Precision, if you want something flashy for a jam night, then maybe the Jaydee is perfect, but that’s about it lol.

Si

I have 2 P's so I'm covered there.

The P's are great for recording and a live band, but a bit boring to play on their own at home (if you know what I mean?)  the Wal is doing all the live work for me now and I'm loving the results.

I'm not in any hurry to make a decision, but have been gassing a bit more recently for one.

Since getting My Wal at the beggining of the year I have hardly touched any of my other basses ( 2 Fender P's mainly) except for a bit of play at home and out in the garden

Been gassing to get a Jaydee for a while as something I'd enjoy playing at home and might use for some recording and jams. Now the hard decision is that I would have to sell the more valuable of my P basses to be able to afford a  (used) Jaydee, thing is the P is a 73 and the best sounding and playing P I have ever had and I have had a few older and newier. I'm thinking that maybe one Precision is enough to own and the Roadworn is a close 2nd to the 73. Not sure what to do,?Thought I'd put it out there for any advice.

I have been using the Fender Rumble 500 v3 for about 3 years now, used nearly every gig and practice at least once a week,

Ben a bargain and I'm still happy with it.

what you like, is what you like

Lovely! 

I wish something like this had come up whilst I was looking for a used one.
