nilorius Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Hello. Are You fully satisfied with Your #1 bass or there could be some changes. If yes - what would You change ? As to me - Ibanez GWB 1005, i would like it would have a mid eq control also. Edited January 20, 2023 by nilorius 1 Quote

itu Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 My Vigier Passion II could have a twin sister with 5-strings, and a graphite neck with 19 mm string spacing, but because two out of these three specs are already non-existent, I can only dream of such a bass. Ā (No 5-string graphite neck, no wide neck 5-strings.) 2 Quote
SumOne Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I don't think I ever will be 100%. It is like being 100% satisfied a car or house or bike - tastes and needs and technology change over time. Ā Ā 3 Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Well given that on my 2015 Fender US Standard Precision (black/maple) Iāve changed the E tuner to a Hipshot Extender, added a Stealth Retainer to the A tuner and changed the white pickguard to black I suppose it could be said I wasnāt 100% satisfied, but I am now.Ā 1 Quote
Franticsmurf Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 No, or I wouldn't be able to justify having more than one bass.Ā š Ā I would say that I am 100% satisfied with my no.1 rock bass (Sterling HH) for playing modern rock/pop, and 100% satisfied with my no. 1 'bass for all seasons' (P Bass) for being able to cope with a varied diet when I dep with a band whose setlist varies randomly, often between songs.Ā Ā Quote
neepheid Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Nah, there's always something that can change - most of all yourself.Ā A bass I was 100% satisfied with 10 years ago will probably not suit me quite so well now because tastes change, and hopefully I've developed a little as a bass player in that time also!

Elfrasho Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'm more satisfied with my current bass.. yamaha bb734.. than I've been with any other over the past 4 or 5 years.Ā I think the p/j config suits me. I played a fender pj for most of my playing life but got rid and have since been going through basses like hot dinners!Ā Ā Playing wise and sound wise it's awesome. I'm not massively in love with the matt black finish.. but that's not enough to move it on.Ā Quote

Cato Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I don't think I have a fixed number 1 bass. Ā I'm pretty happy with each of them individually, they all do what they're supposed to, the jazzes sound like jazzes the P soumds like a P. I rotate through my modest collection as the mood takes me. Ā That's why everyone needs more than 1 bass. 1 Quote

Barking Spiders Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'm down to just a Sterling By Music Man StingRay Ray4HH Bass Candy Apple Red and a Cort GB64JJ in natural finish. Other than a bit of bridge adjustment to cut out a bit of fret buzz past the 15th fret viz the Ray, I'm 100% happy with what I've got. If I was minted I might go for US-made StingRay and a Fender Jazz of some vintage but as I'm now just a hobbyist I can't justify shelling out the wonga on those. 1 Quote
NancyJohnson Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 My #1 is perfect.Ā If it wasn't, I wouldn't have bought it now, would I? Ā 1 Quote
police squad Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 atm, JMJ Mustang is perfect for what I need. 100% happy Quote
Nicko Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 My only bass these days is a Squier 70s CV.Ā I wish it wasn't black, and need to sort out a rattly machine head but it does everything I need. I'd say 90% happy. Quote

sammybee Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Most definitely 100% satisfied, the thought of shopping for a 'new/different' bass fills me with dread! 2 Quote
chris_b Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 i have 2 #1 basses. I wouldn't change anything about the Lull. The Sadowsky is perfect, but could do with losing 2lbs.Ā 1 Quote
