ZMech Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Various times in the for sale section i've seen basses that people comment about how it was previously theirs. This made me wonder what bass on basschat has had the most owners (preferably all basschaters). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Chris Beedster and Shockwave have probably owned most of them There's a nice Spector Euro 5-string in blond flame maple that I seem to have seen at least 3 or 4 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yeah it has to be that Euro LX5, i've seen it 3 times in my life in different cities and each time owned by a different person ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My old 2005 Buttercream Stingray has had at least three owners on here - I traded it to Mr Cougar, he's sold it since. I've seen a couple of them up for sale since then, so I don't know if it's travelled further now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my old '73 Precision with a J-PUP at the neck has probably been owned by at least 5% of BC members, and the old Black Rose Telebass must be up there also, although I haven't seen it for sale for a while. I think the Modulus Sonic Hammer did the rounds also, infact I tried to buy it back but to no avail. We should have a Basses-reunited forum where we can get back in touch with our ex's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Nick 'Old Horse' Murphy's lovely 3TS Precision (currently FS for a bargain price IMHO) has been owned by 4 people despite only being a 2008 bass and despite it being quite gorgeous! My good self, Jono Bolton and Nick (twice). In terms of ownership per month of existence that must be pretty impressive. I say it again though, its a bl**dy nice nbass and someone should become the 5th owner PDQ at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its had maybe 6 owners? I can't understand why! Now I've sorted the neck with a fret dressing, its one of the best sounding basses I've ever played. I'd kill for a fretless version with a poly or stainless steel fingerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 There was that red & black modded Precision bass that was passed around quite a while ago. Thats pushing back to the Bassworld days though, I think Thunderchief(Mike) and Homerplaysbass(Al) both had it at one point, I think Rayman may have dabbled with it also.

RhysP Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 What about that blue/green Roscoe? That was referred to as "One of the resident Basschat bikes" when I posted a link to it the other month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) And dont forget the 4 stg natural Roscoe with the pointy head stock.. Inc Bassworld and Basschat it has had a least 4 owners [ inc me], and more i suspect.. It became known as the ol' Slapper.

waynepunkdude Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 My 5 string has been a lot of BC'ers but does that count as "owned"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 There was a black Lakland Precision that kept batting back and forth like a ping-pong ball a while back, through no fault of its own from what I can gather. Didn't stay in one place for a week it seemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aido43 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ive got the Black Rose Telebass mentioned by Beedster--its staying put---it looks like its been thru a few hands here over last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFW Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I had the Cairns/Satterley Stingray that 's been around the block a few times. Owners I know of are cd_david (twice), funkydoug, wateroftyne, myself and it now currently resides with danlaw. A fantastic bass (a heavy bugger though!) which I would have kept if I hadn't gone over to 5 string full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Beedster's modified Sub 5 has been around a bit too; Chris, me, Walman, JoJo Bass, OBBM and a couple of others too IIRC.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 my old natural G&L tribby l2k has had a fair few owners, 4 that i know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I had a 3TS fretless US Fender Jazz that's been about a bit. The last owner I know of was Essential Tension I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Kiwi's `StatusRay' has been around, 4 owners I think (including me o course!) Now residing with our very own StingRay King, Dave Anderson! He's got loads of em! I've got two now! Watch out Dave, I'm loving that Ray tone!
