bagsieblue Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 ...they have is the one currently in their hands? Even when A/B ing basses I always prefer the one I'm currently playing rather than the other.....until I swap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 This is how I justify owning each of my basses..all of them have their own merits.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I did until recently. But now I tend to just go for my Steve Harris Precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza 2905 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nope. My Sklar is head and shoulders above any other bass in my collection. But I still play the others; and enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The bass I enjoy playing the most unfortunately isn't the one I gig with so I make a point of getting the one that I like playing most out for practice sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skej21 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Used to think so. Since getting it in December, now I always reach for my Nate Mendel precision. I even tried to put it away under the bed and have something else out to force me away from it. That lasted about 3 minutes before I had the case open and the Mendel back out and it's been out since. Maybe it's time to try the 'only need one bass' philosophy for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nope, but that's probably because I have my TRB against a epiphone thunderbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have my stage favourites which amongst them I go through cycles of which is my current favourite, I have a few others that desperately need to be sold if I ever get round to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nope. Everything sounds great until I get my hands on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 For me, it's any bass with passive electronics and a low enough action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I enjoy all my basses, even more so when listening to other talented people playing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Clearly the answer is to replace the Ibanez with another Fender (no, you're not having my jazz ) and thus starts the steady slide into self induced poverty and slight madness.

EliasMooseblaster Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 But...but there is no bass currently in my hands. Does this render The Best Bass an abstract concept? Or is The Best Bass, in actual fact, my computer keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 [quote]I enjoy all my basses, even more so when listening to other talented people playing them. [/quote] snap! I sometime try to get others to play or sound check mine so I can actually hear what it sounds like without a drummer blasting next to me. Half the time I end up "feeling" the sound through my belly from the bass body or through my legs when standing in front of the amp rather than actually hearing it.
