Basses owned ( is one you want amongst these? )

[lemmywinks]

Basses I've owned in the last 11 years:

Hohner B2 P-Bass copy (horrible!)
Dean 4 string (unknown model!)
Ozark acoustic
Gibson RD Artist 77 in maple (never buying a gibson bass again!)
Warwick Corvette active standard in swap ash
Warwick Streamer standard 5 string
Shine 6 string
Jaco copy fretless
Squier Standard Jazz in walnut satin
OLP MM3
Warmoth custom fretless in walnut and pau ferro
Zoot Deluxe custom shop

The Zoot, Warwick and Warmoth are my stage basses

Still looking to offload the Squier and the OLP and maybe the jaco copy (with fender pups electrics)

[Kev]

in my hugggggggge 2 years of playing i have owned:

[b]Fender Squier standard jazz bass[/b]: nice enough bass, cant remember much of it, only took me 2 months to reaslise i wanted something active

[b]Musicman SUB 4[/b]: i LOVED this bass, i basically learned using it, had it for about 18 months, looked dynamite with black on black and rosewood neck
[b]
Peavey Grind 6[/b]: my first 6 strings, thought id give it a go! great bass for the money, sold it last week to fund another bass.
[b]
OLP MM3[/b]: i owned this very briefly, nice enough bass, sounded okay but just felt a bit cheap, stingray's shouldnt be passive
[b]
'Contreversial' Fender customised PJ bass[/b]: yep you know the one... aggy preamp with emg's, looked fantastic, but i think i always preffered the way it looked to the way it sounded, still a great bass.

[b]Hudson PBS 6:[/b] FANTASTIC active string bass. i LOVE it so much, and im probably going to buy the 5 string version again when i have the cash. brilliant bass to play, very light and the spalt maple is fantastic! gutted i had to sell it for funds.
[b]
Westfield Jazz Bass[/b]: My first project, bough it to mod the hell out of it! i replaced the neck, pickups, bridge and knobs, and added a pickup cover, it sounded and looked great! but againnnn passive jazzes i dont think are for me

[b]Musicman Stingray 5 'Blue Dawn'[/b]: My baby, easily the best bass out of the lot, the finish is just gorgeous, and it sounds superb combined with my dave hall pedal and a bit of zoom reverb, superb, will take something very special to make me sell this!
[b]
Status-Graphite Energy 4[/b]: my latest acquisition, bit of a bargain from ebay, needs a bit of a service on the electronics, but other than that its a lovely bass, very comfortable and nice to play, and the LED's just top off the look!

thats quite alot for 2 years, isnt it........

[Doctor J]

Starting in 1989 up to present day...

[b]Aria Pro II XRB[/b] I butchered this, refretted, three pickups, painted, learned a hell of a lot
[b]Aria Pro II Laser Electric[/b] I later made one fretless out of the two Aria basses
[b]ESP 400 Series Jazz[/b] still got this one
[b]Rickenbacker 4003[/b] Loved the tone, hated the lack of contours for the wrist, sold it
[b]Ibanez SR3006E Prestige [/b]Great bass but I'm just not a 6 string player anymore. Sold it a couple of weeks ago
[b]Fender Jazz 1977[/b] It's starting a new life this week
[b]Fender Jazz 62RI fretless CIJ [/b]really nice but sold it cos I just wasn't using it enough
[b]Bacchus Standard 5[/b] My first Bacchus, battered but I love it.
[b]Hotwire Custom 5[/b] Never as good a bass as it should have been. I'm currently renovating it, there's a great bass in there, just needs some tweaking
[b]Bacchus Venus 5[/b] Bought with a view to defretting, but when I played the neck I couldn't do it, it's too nice
[b]Lakland 55-02[/b] Bought off ebay at an absurdly low price. Never really bonded with it for some reason and sold it on. Unquestionably a great bass though and I miss it
[b]Bacchus Woodline P Classic[/b] I needed a P and I know I can rely on Bacchus. Great, great bass, this one.

All i can say is that this thread is obscene! I would be happy with a collection of around 5! I've only ever owned one, and that was a very ordinary black Fender P-bass!

Maison (Bass Collection's cheap range)
Squier Jazz (one of the first, wish I'd kept it)
Gibson Thunderbird (s/h knackered, horrible, I took it back and bought the Maison instead)
Yamaha SBV/SBs (16) The Collection, now down to just two
Yamaha SB-2s (2) still got these, they need shifting
EB Musicman StingRays (4)
Rickenbacker 4003s (4)
EB Musicman Bongos (4) bought another one (a 4HH/P) so the total stands at 5 now

[Bassmonster]

Since around the year 2000 when i started playing

Marlin Sidewinder (weighed a ton, sounded crap)
Westfield PBASS (The less said the better)
Status S2 (Just not my thing)

Still have the following

Ibanez GSR200 (Great little bass, done many a gig and served me well in studio, now retired)
Rockbass Corvette5 (good bass for the money, thinking of sticking some decent p/u's in it)
Warwick Corvette (My first decent bass)
Warwick Streamer Jazzman5 (bought second hand from the old bassworld)
Shuker J4E (My Fav bass..so good i ordered another one)
Warwick Thumb6 NT Custom (Another purchase from this site)

Edited September 6, 2008 by Bassmonster

[Spyke]

Just a Yamaha on the left and a 5 string Ibanez on the right.

[paddy mcbride]

Westfield 5 string (sold)
Squire P-Bass (gave to friend)
Schecter SB-1 (sold)
Ibanez ATK 300 (sold)

USA Fender Jazz (swapped for Streamer LX)
CMI Rickenbacker copy (gave to friend)
Ibanez RB750 (sold)

Ones in bold i still have. All of them were great at the time of having them. Each was a step closer to getting my perfect bass.....but none of them have cured my GAS... and as much as I love my Warwicks....i still look forward to having more basses.
I have never owned more than 4 basses at any one time.

5. Fender H1 P (even more pimped)

[M4L666]

I have two basses, the Tanglewood beginner one and the unidentified one.

[Nito]

I may just add my por list here.
I own 3 basses, one is a hybrid of a P copy body and electrics, with the neck of a Westone Thunder I-A Bass, to my surprise it was pretty strait forward. They where casualties of a major incident where I lost all my guitars and basses; they got destroyed.
My other bass is a Harper fretless 6 strings that I managed to get on an Ebay for 70 squids, and is not bad at all.
My third one is another Harper that I managed to get for £49, and seeing that the 3 previous ones went for £75, £80, and £85, I consider this to be the buy of the century. 5 string acoustic, fretted tho.
Now I'm after some decent fretless acoustic, and a 4 or 5 strings electric that is quality, maybe a Jazz or a Stingray, love them both.
Laterz.
