I haven't quite owned as many as some of you. Then again ive only been playing 6 years.
I started of with a [b]Encore P bass[/b]. I got this brand new for like £150 (around $300) with a practice amp, lead, strap and gig back. Not bad price for so what i got. Used it for a couple of years and i still have it. It no longer gets played though because i ripped the frets out after discovering Jaco Pastorius. This kinda made the bass worse.
My second bass was an [b]Ibanez SRX500 custom[/b]. I bought this when i decided i really liked to play and that i wanted to upgrade. I really enjoyed playing this bass for a while, but after a while i decided it didn't feel right to play and it didn't have the tone i was after. At the same time i bought a Hartke 3500A amplifier with a Hartke 410TP transporter cab.
Next i got a really cheap acoustic bass of ebay..... Not worth talking about.
For my forth bass i got a [b]Fender Mexican Jazz[/b]. There's something about the Fender Jazz which i love but for some reason it doesn't tend to get played much.
Next i got a beautiful [b]Fender Jaguar bass[/b]. I got this after getting into music college. I saw it in the music shop and had to part with my hard earned money for it. It took a while to get used to all the switches but it serves its purpose really well.
Finally my most resent bass is a [b]1988 Warwick Thumb NT [/b]. I bought this from Mansons guitar shop. This is where Matt Bellamy and John Paul Jones get there guitars made. Playing it in the shop i had a massive grin. Worth spending the money on. I play it all the time and it always makes me happy when i play it. I recently had the circuit changed in it as the old one stopped working for a while. Love this bass and i will never be able to part with it.
