neepheid Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I can participate in this thread for the first time - I don't generally have more than one example of a type of bass at one time, but for now at least... I guess there was the time when I briefly had two Squier Jaguar Hs in the house, but the grey one went back to Thomann as it got damaged in transit and they didn't offer me enough of a discount for me to want to keep it. 3 Quote

SimonK Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Missed this thread previously - fretted & fretless - my main two basses for the last twenty years! 7 Quote
basshead56 Posted August 12 Posted August 12 (edited) One last (ever) pair: 21 Am PRO II FSR Jazz 21 Am PRO II Precision both in Dark night with Rosewood boards. Picked up the P bass last night - was a swap with my sunburst 06 American Standard S-1 P Bass and a couple of other little bits (so no, I didn't buy it!!!! 😋🤣🤣🤣) Had planned on stopping off at Bass Centre in Melbourne, as we had a long layover on the way back to the land down under-er (after visiting the motherland last week) but a jetlagged missus and a very tired and dangerously-bored 3yr old did not make for happy travel mates, so had to skip it in the end. Just as well because they were having a clear out on some lovely Fender goodies, including a gorgeous and long-coveted Dark Night P (which was efffffin cheap too!). There was also a brand new Adam Clayton Jazz there for a used bass price 🤤🤤🤤 But as it happened, a really cool bloke in the same neck of the woods as me happened to want to downgrade from his AM PRO II DN P Bass around the same time. Worked out a trade deal on the 06 P Bass over messenger and boom - I'm now set for life bass-wise, I didn't buy any basses like I had previously promised AND the credit card was not cut up after the holiday! We all win. Or so I told the better half! 🤣🤣 PS -yes, the plastic is coming off the Jazz this evening! Edited August 13 by basshead56 8 Quote
Chiliwailer Posted August 13 Posted August 13 A couple of Rays, modded one from 1995, and the fretless is a 1994 & 1997 hybrid. 8 1 Quote

Beedster Posted August 16 Posted August 16 No longer with me but these were two rather lovely, if rather different pairs..... 10 Quote

itu Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Tri-Bass and Quadwave. Let's see if the learning curve is any shorter with the four string. Rack synth is an old BassStation I. 3 Quote
RhysP Posted September 18 Posted September 18 Not the greatest of photos, but here are my Zon Legacy basses (one fretted, one fretless) That I used to own a while ago. 7 Quote

That’s cool, always nice to know a bit about the journey 👍 The acoustic tone is stunning, I often play it unplugged on the couch. It’s not looking like I’ll master fretless playing anytime soon, so this bass fits nicely in the fun to own category as it just seems way too good to pass on. 1 Quote

They advertised it as a ‘94. When I got the info on the bass from Musicman it stated that it began life as a fretted bass. Obviously someone had swapped the neck. I contacted V&R and they offered to take the bass back. I said I loved the bass just as it was and I was just letting them know what I had found out. They very graciously gave me a healthy amount of refund. I was a happy camper! 1 Quote

Thanks, nice bit of history. Refund sounds good too - we used to call them 'Vintage and Dear' due to their prices, but I always got on well with the London shop folks. Cheers 1 Quote
