Not sure if there was a fire she'd be the first out out the door (that would be the Shuker... or the '80 L-1000... or the Pingray... or the ... ) but she's definitely the first one I pick up to play these days.
A one-piece 70's mystery Jap bass with an original DiMarzio, £80 off ebay and a couple of days TLC....

Aye min, that pic was taken a day or two before I made the (patent design ) miracle thumb rest for her.

This is probably the one......my wifes favourite









....yes it does get gigged!

My 75' P-Bass. I don't actually have her in my possession yet (she is en route from the US) but I reckon she'll be the one . . .

Och, now I feel like I'm cheating on my Sandberg. I love you too honey!

Sorry, getting a bit weird now . . .

So nearly my choice! (mine, not yours!)
Good to see you back around these parts.

[Grand Wazoo]

Well considering that everything else I own is still currently available to buy back in case of theft or loss this one is the only one that is irreplaceable and the first to be saved in case of fire.

My 1986 PRS 4

I take two...and choose on the day.
I kinda of know which bass I'll start to sound check with..and then refine that decision or not.

Great contributions so far. Keep an eye out on the first post, i'll edit it and add a pic hopefully when my bass arrives!

My Burns Bison. Had a gas attack the other week and nearly binned it off for a Squier Tele bass but came to my senses!

As they're kept side by side I'd have chance to grab these two:

This year it seems to be my 1976 Bitsa Jazz bass

I'm praying that nobody starts a "Show us your number 2's" thread.

My 1960's Squire P Bass Lookalike, I prefer this to my EBMM

Looks amazing. Always thought these felt like my bass. Lovely.

Ta!
It's a beauty, isn't it? I especially love the inlays.
Joe Zon apparently built this bass as an exhibition piece for a NAMM show. He commissioned an inlay specialist to do the work on the fingerboard, which are mother of pearl Celtic chains:

Drooled after Jimmy Lea's bass since the first gig I saw it at. After a nasty divorce & a fair bit of saving I traced John Birch who had semi-retired & he built this for me. He called me on a Sunday afternnon to tell me it was almost ready, two days later he was found dead in his kitchen.
This is the last ever John Birch custom which he personally worked on.

I've play this a lot more than the others
