Mudpup Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Have you got any bass kit that is an identical twin of something else you already have? Something that for some reason you just needed/wanted exactly the same thing again whilst still having the original item. I've just picked up a second used Sony DWZ wireless unit because they're long discontinued, super rare and I love my old one. It been used most weekends and having kept my eye on recent 'what wireless' threads I can't see anything currently that I would be happy to splash the cash on should it fail on me. It'll be parked in the spares drawer or loaned out within the band in case I ever need it. And the other twin I have is a second Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 obtained by a recentish trade with one of our esteemed Basschat members @silverfoxnik Again driven by the fact that I love my original one, there aren't many about and the opportunity arose to grab a spare. So the criteria is that it must be exactly the same as something you already possess. If it's a bass it must be visually identical - no extra strings or different colours. And lets not bother about second cabs or accessories such as stands/leads and suchlike. Just basses, amps, effects or similar bigger things. Watcha got and why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I have three Trace Elliot AH150 heads - why wouldn't you? Also have two Yamaha BBG5S - one in white, the other in blue. Don't forget my fretted and fretless TRB1005 - both in natural figured maple. Two Yamaha NE1 preamp pedals. When you are on to a winner why not keep it going.

Why 3 rather than 2? A spare for your spare? Or do they all feel/play a bit different? Do you have a fave? But a perfect example none the less Edited July 2, 2023 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the aim was 2, one main one backup. First weighed 8lbs1, second 8lbs5, was fine with that but then one came up weighing 7lbs15, given that I’ve “gone Mustang” due to back issues it made sense to get it. Do I have a fave, yes the first one as these little basses have given me a new lease of life on playing in bands, realistically I was possibly going to have to stop being in bands so I’ll forever love the first one for what it signifies to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Different tunings and electronics, but twins nonetheless. I also have two Jack Casady signatures, but they're different colours Edited July 2, 2023 by ahpook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 It is not often that I buy something twice, but at one point I had two Ibanez ATK300L's (and an identical 5-string ATK305) and three MC924's. I still have a tendency to get a 4-string and 5-string of the same model - I have a Warwick Streamer LX and an LX5, and a Status Graphite S2 Classic 4-string and 5-string. The ATK's are all gone, and only one MC924 remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I have seven Vantage VP-710B's with two identical pairs. I started with one, then a spare for it, then one for BEAD, then a spare for that. Then I found one in better shape, and then one in even better shape! And one to donate spare parts. I know most won't understand, but what can i say... I'm obsessed with them 🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
