NancyJohnson 2,422 Posted March 20, 2020 Look, I know these threads are a show-offy, vanity thing, but honestly, if I had to call on one bass that would be the go to, do it all instrument, it's the Lull. It's a forking monster, even more so since I installed the John East. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn’t meant to be a porn thread, as far as I can see, it’s meant to be what it says in the title and, yes, some of them will be porn and some may wish to show off but, for the most part, I think folks are sticking with the spirit of it. Nice Lull BTW. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have one of these for sale in the local 2nd hand shop. I'm going to bring it back, it's such a great instrument, and I'll have time to play with it over the coming months 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admittedly it didn't come with the DiMarzios, Schaller bridge, stack knobs or vulgar scratchplate. Ay ay ay. I'm not supposed to like A)Jazz basses or B) maple boards. But this? Yum. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kyuuga 107 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) My go-to and only bass at the moment (decided to get rid of all the others) is an '04 Musicman Stingray that I bought used for 800€ - it was virtually new, the old owner barely used it in all these years. Sounds thunderous, funky and precise with great clarity. It's a bit of a beast (~10lb) but it makes up for it in its gorgeous looks and tone. Looks hella great on stage as well if I may say so. 😅 Edited March 20, 2020 by kyuuga 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickJ 950 Posted March 20, 2020 Since receiving my custom last month I've not touched another bass. I'm sure going to miss it whilst it's back with Jon for some tweaks. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rushbo 305 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) For the last 2-3 years, it's been this - one of my collection of mongrel bitsas. A Squier body (stripped and resprayed in rattlecan racing red) a Mexi Jazz neck, a Schaller bridge, one Fender pup, one Entwistle pup, Gotoh machine heads, and a Kiogon toggle switch and loom. It's strung with flats and is a dream to play and incredibly versatile. Edited March 20, 2020 by rushbo 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danuman 52 Posted March 20, 2020 Here’s mine. It has some flaws, and it’s not at all versatile, but man, playing it is just so... easy. I love it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baa 42 Posted March 22, 2020 I have 16 basses, including a DB, but always go back to my first love: Vantage VP710B. I have 6 of those I have two tuned BEAD, one with flats and the rest are EADG. They are spread over two rehearsealspaces and my home. 7 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice Lull BTW. Absolutely correct interpretation. My original post is aimed at us enjoying the wealth of favourite basses. My Jazz is a good but not expensive instrument.
