P with flatwounds
P with roundwounds
Something fretless - currently Roscoe Century Standard fits the bill

To which I could add:
Something with bridge p/u (although the above Ps could be PJs)
A five-string for me to occasionally dabble with before going back to the fours.

A bass with an alternative number of strings.

An easy-to-transport bass.
A bass that has sentimental value.

Third Reichenbacher, Jazz, Steinberger, StingRay, Bongo.
Meaning: in an ideal world.

In this world, however:
Jazz, Steinberger, StingRay, Bongo, 58 Longhorn.

That was today. Ask again tomorrow for a slightly different list, but please don't ask. :)

best,

1. my alembic MK deluxe 5
2. my alembic rogue 5 fretless
3. an alembic series 2 5
4 an alembic series 2 5 fretless
5. an early 80's fretless aria sb1000

Why am I not surprised at the alembic bias Jacko.
Let me join you in that bias.

1) Alembic Series II 5 string
2) Alembic Series I 5 String
3) Alembic Series II 4 string short scale
4) Alembic Series I 4 string short scale tenor bass
5) Alembic Series II 5 string Dragon Wing

Now should I go to Wonga or to the church for a loan for these. :-)

A nice old Fender J or P
A woody-sounding fretless
A nice old double bass
A gig-friendly EUB
Alembic SC (Std or Brown bass)

I have 1-4 but not 5. If anyone has one at a decent price, PM me (I was 50 last week and didn't buy myself a pressie ;) )
