Phantom Power Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Er, hum, there doesn't seem to be any mention of ALEMBIC and I've got 3 of 'em
thodrik Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I play a Vigier Excess II. Cool bass, for me its some kind of hybrid between a Rick and a Jazz bass. Nothing really fancy in terms of pre-amp, just a really well made bass. Kind of a marmite bass though, a couple of people have tried it and just not taken to it at all!
Marvin Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Currently playing an Ibanez SR300. Good for me as it is quite skinny so matches me. Very versatile, can make a wide range of sounds, do agree with some of the reviews that not to expect vintage or classic tones from it, very impressed for the price though.
BB3000S Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Too schizofrenic to stick to one, but at the end of the day I'm a jazz kind of guy. My Fender J-74 has always served me well, so I voted Fender.
Cat Burrito Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I've tried other brands but I'm always most comfortable with a Fender Precision bass. I went through an Epiphone phase and have owned a few other brands but I stripped it right back & now use Fender P-basses almost exclusively. I have a Squier too which is about as much variety as you'll get from me right now!

gillento Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Well, this is my first post in this forum. I play mainly a Sadowsky MV5 with Nordstrand NJ5 single coils. My "backup" bass is a custom Sandberg PM5 with maple neck, Häussel AlNiCo PUs and a Sadowsky preamp. I am eagerly waiting for my Sadowsky NYC 5 string PJ5 to be finished here's a rather complete list of stuff I am using regularly: [url="http://www.loes.lu/loes.lu/Gear.html"]http://www.loes.lu/loes.lu/Gear.html[/url]
Les Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 "Other (please state)" Musicman Stingray, but it's not Ernie Ball.
luckman67 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 My main bass now is a 1992 Rickenbacker 4003,even though I own other basses the Ric is number 1.

Colours are also just as I would like it, with the exception of having the Rickenbacker JetGlo. Today I have a 1 J-type and 1 P-type bass so I have 3 to go to match it hehe. z
cocco Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I voted Gibson, 74 grabber g1 to be exact but I also have a jazz, MIJ non-export 60s reissue modded with Badass II and custom "hot and dangerous" pickups by shed of cardiff which i love dearly
kets Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Other please state: My '77 Pre Ernie ball Musicman Sabre in cream (Probably white originaly) with Rosewood board and black scratchplate. Sounds awesome, weighs a ton and still gets admiring looks whenever it's taken out. Better still it only cost me £300 (16 years ago). Still a huge Fender fan though-Love my '62 japanese re-issue jazz.
luckman67 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Thank you zbigniew for your nice comments on my humble collection of basses.The Rickenbacker and the Squier Precision ( MIK ) were both presents from my girlfriend. Edited August 23, 2009 by luckman67
duffmouse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I voted Spector, but play a Fender, a Status fretless and my recently bought a Cort B5, which i got for a steal of a price. It was left out of up above... really nice instrument for the price paid
