It was nice owning 5 basses at any one time (selling one's to buy others), but quite a few times I sold at a loss . And with a family to support & a job that for a while now looks shaky, was one of the main factors for going with 1 bass & 1 amp . But I am 50 next year (feels weird writing that) so you never know, maybe my wife and kids will buy me a bass .

This man is single handedly trying to destroy the musical instrument industry by suggesting people can be happy with what they have and not buy any more.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE LIES.

BUY MORE BASSES.

I know it sounds that but after all these years of chasing and owning over 30 basses, since 1987 I want to save my money now

I think if I were to get my grubby hands on a Precision that would be the end of my GAS as I'd have all my basses covered. A Jazz, a Ric, a Musicman and a P.

I had 3 out of those 4 at 1 time. Ric 4003, US Musicman S.U.B & a Squier Precision

Congratulations, a great achievement, but a word to the wise...do not expect much support or praise as this site is occupied by rampant GAS addicts!

I know but after 27 years of various degrees of GAS, I wanted a break now it's nicer just to look at other peoples bass collections,

This is a very tragic story of what can happen or indeed could happen to any of us.

Nevertheless I guess congratulations are in order.

Thank you I have owned multiple basses at various times, and I'm happy with just the Precision now.

On this very day last year I started a thread entitled New Bass & Amp Day, were I had just bought a brand new American Standard Precision bass, & a Fender Rumble 200 watt Combo and had them delivered to were I worked it was a great day. I said that I was going to be GAS free and save my money for other things in life. Well 1 year on and I have managed to keep my promise and surprised myself into the process (didn't think that would happen).
Anyway 1 year on and I am still more than happy with both of my purchases and the only upgrades I did was, add a set of flatwounds (which have been on almost a year) and a set of Fender straplocks. And. I am still content with my 1 bass 1 amp stance that I took. back last year.

That does look really good

Very nice duo you have there,I to miss my USA SUB.

Was it a G&C case that the AVRI came with?

Nice looking bass I like the period style case candy. you get with the AVRI basses

Peavey Cirrus BXP very light & modern sounding.

Looks great

These were & are great basses I wish I'd bought one back in the 80's, the CS 62 pickup is a great pickup IMO & the reason why I bought the American Standard Precision.

Very nice indeed

I like the look of that Precision

All I added was a set of Fender flatwounds & straplocks,really into the whole Precision thing now

[attachment=201033:2014 Precision.jpg]It took me over 20 years to get & understand, just how good the Fender Precision is with just 1 pickup, volume and tone. Since I got one in January it's all I need.

Had a 5 string SB315 IIRC it was a nice bass, should have kept it

Wish I'd been able to keep mine,great basses.

I don't see anything wrong with having loads of basses. It's just become unnecessary for me. And I'm impressed by all the extra space I have!

[/quote]

Same here at one point I had more basses than space to keep them,especially since I was not playing live, and with a family that needed the space a bit more. So now I'm down to 3 my 1964 Hofner Violin bass & my 1989 Squire precision, both of which now have been stored away (just sentimental value now). And my 1 bass that I play now is a 2014 US Precision and I feel better for it.

That is a very nice looking bass you have there.

Easy Line 6 bass.

Damm that looks good

+1 for how good the Custom Sop pickup sounds

What a good find nice one enjoy it

I had the "Jack" bass in the 90's as well, wish I'd kept mine
