fergs40 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 My relatively modest list: Hondo II (Ric copy) —GAP— Westone —LOOOOOONG GAP— Rickenbacker Squier Warwick Sandberg Höfner Vigier Squier Still got them all except the Hondo (loaned to a friend, never to be seen again) and the first Squier (a SS Jaguar I just didn’t get on with).

horrorshowbass Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 These list make me feel better. I'm not alone in the relentless pursuit of bassy bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Short list for me, too. In order: Westone Satellite Westfield Aria Pro II Cort BC Rich Epiphone I got the Satellite P Bass while I still had the Westone, but I was given it for free by my boss’s son. Even though I liked the Satellite, I didn’t keep it for long because I didn’t see the point in owning more than one bass. I honestly believe that if I hadn’t been forced to sell the Westone, I would still own just one bass. The Westone and Satellite are the only ones I don’t currently own.

Tokalo Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I’ve only been playing for 7 years and have agreed to a 3-bass limit, so this is probably inexcusable: Stagg Spector Ibanez 5 Ibanez 4 Squier G&L Tribute* Sire Fender MIM J Sandberg Electra* Bass Collection Spector (again)* * = keeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I actually keep a list of everything I've had, bass and guitar. It's very comprehensive and a few years ago I started recording the serial numbers too I have a list of my current stock too (and what I paid for them too, including the sold ones and how much they sold for, if that all makes sense) There are glaring omisions from my years of playing. No Warwick, No Alembic, Sandberg, Lakland, etc. How I wish I could try some of the sold ones now, to see if they were actually any good. I went through a phase of buying stuff and gigging it but didn't really understand what I was doing. My JayDee, I'd love to see that one again but sadly the guy I sold it to, passed away and it was sold soon after My list Aria Bravewood Crockett (custome build by Andy Crockett) Epiphone ESP Fender Gibson Guild Hamer Hofner Hohner Ibanez JayDee J & D brothers Kay Manson Musicman Retrovibe Rickenbacker Rickenfaker Rockinbetter Spector Squier Stag Status Steinberger Tempest (actually a rebadged Kay) Vox Washburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Unless I've missed it, I don't think anyone has an OLP stingray on their list. Or are they classed as something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Surprised to see so many G&Ls in the list. My bass history- Encore PB3 Squier Silver Series Jazz Fender MIM p bass G&L Asat G&L LB100 (USA) Sire V7 5 string Still have the last three.

Jackroadkill Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hohner Arbour series (plywood P-bass copy) Hohner B Bass V (awful pointy thing) Westone Thunder (brutal, especially with Trubass strings; I ended up giving that one away to a young lady. Should have kept it) Aria roundback electro-acoustic (again, awful, but Paul Barker played something similar so it had to be cool, right?) Fender Jazz MIM (great bass, sold it to buy a PA....) Fifteen year gap Squier Jazz (plywood MIK jobby, doesn't play that well but sounds great) Fender Player P bass (black, superb, slightly modded) Fender Player P bass (white, thanks to @dmc79, again, superb). I think I'll stick with the three I now have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lidl e Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) at one time i pretty much had one of every major production brand there was (excpet warwick. never owned a warwick) this was my room in 2002. i had so many. nothing really over 2K at the time cost to me. i never went in for the high end fancy custom basses. now, bar a few exceptions, everything i have i either built or modified heavily i had a bit of a problem back then. more than one!
