BaggyMan Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Some people play the same bass all of their life which is cool. Others ...like me.. are restless souls. After 42 years 'on the strings' i was musing over a cup of coffee, how many manufacturers had i owned example(s) of. So.. AGC Columbus Cort Crafter Dingwall Earthwood Fazley Fender Fenix FGN G&L Harley Benton HK Hondo J&D Brothers Jim Deacon Lakland Musicman Sterling by Musicman OLP Sandberg Spector Squier Sire Ibanez Overwater Tanglewood Tokai Traben Vester Vintage Washburn Warwick (added later 'cos i forgot) Yamaha Zemaitis and numerous self builds. In my defense i was left unattended and Ebay made me do it Edited July 12, 2023 by BaggyMan 7 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) A bit of a walk of shame 😩. Good job I can't remember how many of each brand....

mowf Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ok, I'll play: Hohner (Jack headless). Sold to mate. A mate, that is, not... I could have phrased that better.

beely Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Oh my goodness, it appears I may have led a bit of a sheltered life. I bought the Ric new in 1978. It was my only bass until the Mustang (current gigging bass) took my fancy around 2014. Hayman Fender Gibson Rickenbacker Fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicko Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Mine may be the shortest list here. Basses Since 2007 Avon (Before 07) Peavey Fender Squier CV* Thats it.
