gjones Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 My MIJ Silver series Squier. It cost me £250 on ebay (plus a 2nd hand allparts neck that some guy had reliced with a sander) but with a set of DR strings it knocks the pants of my others Jazzers which were 3 times the price. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) In my case none. I would let them burn and claim on the insurance. Then i would probably go and by a SBMM ray34 Classic. I would grab all my camera stuff, and if i had time, the kids ;-) Just saying. Edited May 9, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote
xilddx Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Without a doubt, it would be the Chris Squire Electra style one that I designed and made out of a Warwick neck, MEC pickups, Hipshot bridge and tuners, John East U-Retro deluxe pre, custom made Shucker mirror PG, and a body I commissioned a mate to make for me and finished by me in oly white nitro. It's a fantastic bass that does everything I need a bass to do and it sounds wonderful. Anyway, it's my only bass now, so I'd be a bit f***ed if I let it burn Quote

Feb 1972, checkered binding, pre-skunk-stripe, full width crushed-pearl inlays, walnut headstock wings, plexi trc, 1/2" toaster, screw-top treble hi-gain. Sounds and feels very different to most later Rics (and indeed many earlier ones). Quote
chris_b Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I'd save the photos before any bass. You can probably buy a better bass anyway. Quote
DolganoFF Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I'd let 'em all burn! This would be the best rationalization for acquiring new gear (hoping insurance helps)! Quote

It'd have to be my warwick, though it'd be a tough choice between that and my Trace head, it's as old as me, and they sure don't make em like they used to. Quote
scalpy Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Only have 1 bass to save! When I wanted it, I couldn't find one. Then one day I got a tax rebate for £X. The next week I got overpaid by £X. That weekend I walked into my local music shop and there it was- for £X+X. I bought it on the spot, despite having told work that they didn't need to pay me the next month. I then spent 4 weeks sweating, and sure enough they had forgot all about it and paid me anyway. The fates were smiling on me, and the ol' girl has never missed a beat since. I might have,but she hasn't! Quote
longtimefred Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 sod the bass, i could get another one just the same. I would grab my Trace V4. Cant get another one of them!! Quote

BASainty Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 My BB 414 in one hand and my TRB 5II in the other this is why god gave us 2 hands for these reasons. But if I lost an arm then my BB 414 would be the first to get picked up. Quote
Chris2112 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Jaysus Chroist, now how am I supposed to chose between my Status Series II and my ACG? And what about the Kubicki? Quote
Mylkinut Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I'd be running out with my '77 P, making sure everyone heard that I hadn't managed to save my Stradivarius collection or any of those classic cars I had parked in the kitchen. Edited June 24, 2011 by Mylkinut Quote
Big_Stu Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 This one, my only one righ now. It took me long enough to get it! Quote

Rick's Fine '52 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Jeeeez, never even considered that dilemna, one things for sure though, all my basses are far too far away from the door than i'm now comfortable with. Just one? The '52, which, to be honest, should be in a museum. Quote

It has one ding in it, beat myself up for days about that one. Quote
merello Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'd let my original 62 jazz bass, 57 P bass, steinberger and steinberger cello e-bass burn. And I'm not just saying this for the future insurance claim............... Quote
