My not so very impressive but very comfortable guitar rig: They're all surprisingly fantastic for their money. My guitar teacher estimated the LAG on £750. It's not even half that.

Thanks! Oh btw: with that last vid, the real fun starts at about 3 minutes in, with a bass solo at 3:55. Just so you know.

Weird Al?

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1356957107' post='1915521'] Got my old Lefay back through a trade for an Elrick...nice to hear those slides again. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjcsReNQjoI[/media] [/quote] And now I'm jealous again.

Nobody can tell me anything?

[quote name='BassAgent' timestamp='1266400384' post='748085'] [b]Yamaha RBX270 (1999)[/b] First bass, traded it for my Yamaha BB N5II [b]Yamaha RBX270F (2000)[/b] Sold, great bass [b]Yamaha BB N5II* (2001)[/b] My first 5-string ever. I traded it for the Frankenbass but regretted it so much I bought it back. It's tuned E-C now and I love it so much... [b]ESP/Knooren frankenbass (unknown)[/b] Traded it for the TRB5II [b]Blade B2 Tetra Jazz* (2001)[/b] Bought this really really cheap. It's a very nice bass but I upgraded it anyway, with an Aguilar OBP-1 and Nordstrand NJ4s. It got signed by Marcus Miller I'll never ever sell this. [b]Fender Jazz Bass Standard Fretless* (2004)[/b] One of the fretless basses I've ever played. Modded it by installing Fender CS60's pickups, a new pickguard, Gotoh 201 bridge and had the fingerboard epoxied. [b]Yamaha TRB5II (2001)[/b] Sold... it was an awesome bass. I want it back. [b]Yamaha BB414 (2007)[/b] Traded it for one of my Aguilar cabs. It was an excellent instrument and I want one again some day. [b]Johann Georg Kessler double bass (unknown)[/b] Sold. I got tendonitis from playing upright so I had to sell it. I still have the urge to play... [b]Motion B-05 BK (unkown)[/b] This was in a terrible state when I got it. I cleaned and repaired it, played it for a while then sold it. It got me GAS for a proper acoustic bass though. [b]Blade B1 (2003)[/b] Sold. I will regret this for ever. [b]Cobelens & de Bruyne Primo merbau (2008)[/b] Returned it to the luthiers, so they could use the electronics and hardware for my new bass. My endorsement ended (they stopped building entirely) before I got the new one. [b]Squier Vintage Modified Precision (2008)[/b] Changed the pickup to Fender Original, it got a new bridge and new pots, and it's now way better than a USA Fender. Sold it to a very good friend of mine. [b]Yamaha BB300 (1989)[/b] Good bass, but I traded it for the TRB5F. Got it back later in another trade, but sold it to get the Squier CV Precision (see below). [b]Yamaha TRB5F (1995)[/b] Awesome fretless, but I liked my Fender more so I sold it. Still want it back though. [b]Squier Standard Jazz Bass (2007)[/b] Sold. It was good but not good enough. [b]Celinder J Update 4* (1998)[/b] I have dreamed of having a Celinder for about 5 years and now I was able to afford it and get it for a reasonable price. It's an old one (and the one in the Basschat banner) and one of the most comfortable basses to play I own. It's certainly the loudest. [b]Squier Classic Vibe Jazz Bass (2009)[/b] This was absolutely fantastic and made me buy my '66 Jazz. I sold it anyway [b]Fender Jazz Bass* (1966)[/b] Thanks to me and my brother winning a Dutch TV quiz I could buy this. It has been my dream to have a vintage Jazz for my entire bass life, and now I have this one Everyone who plays it, including yours truly, is astonished by the playability, feel and sound of this creation from heaven. [b]Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V (2004)[/b] Had Bartolini's installed when I bought it. Awful boring sound, so I took the preamp and the pickups out and installed passive electronics and Nordstrand split pickups. It sounded quite good but weighed a ton so I sold it. [b]Squier JV Precision (1982)[/b] Got this bass in mint condition with a cable, Blue Note strap, Fender amp and stand for the astonishing amount of €75. It needed new strings and a setup badly, but otherwise this bass was absolutely amazing. I sold it for €850 'cause I never played it ánd I wanted to afford another bass (see below ;-)). I think that was the worst decision I've ever made basswise. Not that the bass I got back for it was bad, but mán what an instrument. [b]Lakland 55-60 Limited Edition Translucent White (2010) *[/b] Got it for a good price (new). One of the best 5-string Jazzes I've ever played. It's a Skyline, but it has some birdseye figuring in the neck It sounds absolutely amazing, has an extremely tight B-string and I love the looks and playability. I won't be selling this one very soon I think. [b]Squier Classic Vibe Precision 50's Butterscotch Blonde*[/b] I missed the JV. I wanted a Precision again, so I got the Yamaha BB300 (see above) again. However, I wasn't completely satisfied with the BB300. It missed something. I then played a CV Precision in a store somewhere and that was what I wanted! So I got one [b]Warwick Triumph (1981)*[/b] A bass from the Framus/Warwick transition period. It used to be a 5-string and the electronics were messed with, but I want to restore it. See my thread in the Upright section of this forum for more info on that [b]Frankenjazz[/b] Built from a Warmoth body, Allparts neck, Fender CS60's pickups and Gotoh hardware. Great bass, but I had some better basses than that so I sold it * indicates I still have them. [/quote] It's been two years, let's edit this a bit...

Here's me sitting in a car I absolutely adore: a 1961 Fiat 600 with suicide doors. I saw it in Rome, it was in mint condition and I was in love with it immediately. I was drooling at it for a while, when a guy (apparently the owner) came up to me: "Would you like to sit in it?" Well, errr, YES!
