Highfox Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Do those of you guys that rotate a few different types of basses, have the same problem as me in that each time I take a different bass to a gig/rehearsal I always think the one I use that week sounds best? Could be the P, J or Ray. spoilt for choice maybe Sad to say I think I'd be one of those knobs swapping basses every song if I had my way lol. Just wondered that's all...

Lozz196 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Must admit Don, each time I use one of my Precisions I`m convinced that it`s the best one. Til I use the other................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Although I now have 5 basses (rather to my shame) I only ever use one for everything. For some reason I can't be doing the rotation thing, I love to have 'my' bass with which I'm very familiar. Its the 'Ray. Sadly, this means the others languish in their cases.

neepheid Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I operate a strict rotation policy. Instruments are to be played. Out of 32 gigs so far in my limited career, I have used no bass more than 5 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I love playing all of my basses but only gig the headless now. Feeling at home with one bass works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 tbh its horses for courses. "Only ever' is not really accurate, the Motown band is the exception to my rule of Stingray for everything, its the old Precision with flats, just works best. Couldn't use that for some of the other things I play. Its not part of a rotation, just the bass for the job. The Jaydee has had its day (well, 25 years of sole use!) and the Jazz, well, not sure I'll ever get on with those, sadly. The fifth is a pre-EB Stingray, comes out as a luxury for recording (or the Precision). For everyday use and my busy gospel band and anything else, its the 'Ray.
