Corvette 5 string, Bubinga body. 2000
Streamer Stage 1, 4 string 2005
Corvette 4 String 2004
Streamer LX 4 string Fretless 2008
Fender MIM, with Bill Lawrence P-46 pickup and Babizc bridge

I guess I'm progressing towards playing a 5er, but don't want to ditch the 4s. I find the 5s heavy. I did own a Thumb 5 string too, but sold it.

Every time I update on here I end up selling or replacing one. It's now time to post on my favourite thread and break that cycle :)

Bizarrely, this time around I've added back my old 66P...

As of July 2017.
L-R: Lakland US 44-94 passive P/J custom, 1971 Fender Precision, Lakland Skyline 55-01 w/ US Bart electronics upgrades

6 days into the 44-94, 6 months into the 55-01, 6 years into the '71 Precision. Loving them all so far!
I'd quite like to add a short scale, but not sure what yet, perhaps a Lakland Decade/Hollowbody 30 or a Fender Mustang.

Looks like an amazingly versatile set of basses! You might wanna look into the new Justin Meldal-Johnsen signature Mustang... ;)

Suffice to say I won't be spending nearly £1k on a short scale haha. Maybe £500.....if it's really cool, obviously this likely means a used one.
I'm in no rush, really I don't have a pressing use for one, but think it would be cool to record on, strung with tape-wounds.

Mid 2018 family pic, pre ACG, which should arrive in a month or so I think.

Well, obviously that attempt to ‘break the cycle’ didn’t work. 

Maybe this one will? :)
