I've never robbed a house before, but if I did...!!! That's pretty much my dream bass line up...

 

Would love a Spector or Music Man. I narrowly missed one of those Washburn's on fleabay a while back. Had a B2A with EMG pickups and it sounded amazing, just couldn't get on with the string spacing. Swap the B2A for a five string jazz and that's a collection I would be very happy with indeed!

Here's my current bass menu ...

Kramer fretless 5. Mexican jazz. Sire Vintage V7 5 string. Fender Japanese PB70

[kevham]

I still want a Fender Precision, a Fender Jazz and a custom Overwater to complete my collection. 

How are you getting on with the Sire? 

[uk_lefty]

Loving the Sire. I've been toying with getting all sorts of basses but I love the sound of a jazz bridge pickup, I also wanted to see what having a fifth string would give me. I wanted a maple board and a decent active EQ. The Sire is great for me. Arrived perfectly set up and I think that has as much influence as anything, the action is ridiculously low and I run all over it quicker than my other basses. I barely touch the EQ, it sounds so good with everything at the middle, I don't EQ my amp or engage a preamp pedal now. It doesn't suit everything but I can calm the brightness and snappiness easily with the EQ. It was excellent value at just over £520 or whatever, feels as good a build quality as my Japanese Fender. If you're curious about them you won't regret buying one.

Awesome! I wasn't aware of lefty Washburn Status basses out there. Never seen one before! That Spector is gorgeous too.

I had a Sire. I traded it to get the Stingray. The tuners were replaced within six months but the replacements were just as bad. Other than that, it was a good guitar.

I've had the Washburn from new.  I've never seen another lefty so I guess it is quite rare.

My only Lefty, an Ibanez sr300el, my photography skills are almost as bad as my bass playing skills

[Bonin-in-the boneyard]

[Bonin-in-the boneyard]

My Status love it  

[LeftyJ]

And rightly so, it looks beautiful. 

I'm still loving your previous 5-string, I play it a lot! 

[Bonin-in-the boneyard]

That is a great bass LeftyJ👍

[pineweasel]

It's been quiet here lately, so here are the two basses I use the most.

[rogerstodge]

That P bass is lovely Pineweasel, what year is it?

It’s a 2013 American Standard, in Mystic Red

My two current basses, a Fender US Professional Precision in Olympic White & a recently purchased Fender Player Precision in Tidepool. 

I bought the Player as back up, but to be honest I've been taking it to my recent gigs. Loving the slightly more modern sound & slimmer neck profile 🙂

The Player series are pretty much faultless, how do the 2 compare Graz?
