lee650 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I must admit, these days i go for quality rather that quantity ( a year ago i had six basses i now have two) and i really love my ken smith 5 but id be perfectly happy to just use my 82 JV squire jazz, a wee bit modified though with nordstrand pickups and a badass and an EMG circuit, ive had it for 17 years and its amazing, quite heavy though, but its going nowhere [attachment=61658:P1010128.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 "The Next One" - Yup, so it seems, i didn't think there would be a 'next one'. But....I think this is it until a lottery win for a Smith Black Tiger 4. On it's way from Jsixties...Burner Artist 1991, been after one for a while, and just when I didn't need it...pop, one lands on here! I now really need to shift the three basses I was keeping hold of after the big selloff, will wait til i'm back from holiday to sort them.

Doc B Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I think my new Shuker 5 string will be enough for me (I need to get some pics on here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers everything i need except for fretless but id live.[/quote] I might actually have to change my mind from my Kubicki to my ACG Harlot singlecut. It's incredible, absolutely fantastic. Could it be the best bass I've ever had? A review will follow soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no love for the Kubicki, I'll give it a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 As someone who chops and changes basses all the time it's difficult to pin myself down to one but, as of today, I could happily live with my '86 Fodera Monarch. It's not as pretty or as beutifully made as the latest ones but it sounds great and has a lot of really usable tonal options - active/passive P pickup at the neck and J at the bridge etc. It also has a few dings and knocks for 20+ years of playing so it's not one I'd be concerned about using at everyday pub gigs.

It's nice to have a slice of 80's technology sitting around. The Kubicki is just so awesome, nothing else sounds like it and I think I'd miss that sound! If you ever want a go for old time's sake, just PM me. EDIT: Molan, got any pictures of the 80's Monarch?

As for the offer of trying your Kubicki; I may well take you up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 My newest arrival (with apologies to Legion for nicking his photo). Fender CS Pino, made in December 2005 (must have been one of the first as they were officially launched in Jan '06). Flippin' eck its lovely [attachment=61788:IMGP1942.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Molan that is a seriously good looking bass! I have never seen one of those before. I live and learn. And that Pino is a looker too Clarky. How long are you keeping a hold of this one for Jez Edited October 19, 2010 by jezzaboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) My streamer $$ (though that combination of natural and chrome hardware is definitely not my first, but beggars can't be choosers).
