It’s Nick Smith, The Bass Doctor (think he’s still active on here).

the ric comment is a running joke as everyone keeps saying “all those basses, and not 1 ric?!” When there’s one next to his bonce.

Ah, apologies. Tough when there’s a running gag you don’t know about. Just like being in my first band.

@doctor_of_the_bass - great guy and player - check out his videos with his SimS/Enfield on YT....I'll take this opportunity to thank him again for his support with the Herts Bashes.

That's an amazing list of instruments, some well known and respected quality in the Spectors and Wals, but also some sleepers like the Guild Pilots, the Peavey Randy Jackson and the Staccato. I mean this with the utmost of respect, but it tends to tell me roughly how old you are, and also what music you liked.

I see a strong 80s influence there, and probably leaning more towards hard rock/glam metal.

Would that be correct?

I'm from the same era, I'm 51, and so many of your basses bring back memories of Guitar Player ads that I would sit and drool over for hours on end. I do think you need an old Steinberger, though, to complete the Geddy set!!! :D

You are correct, Sir! Though my musical faves are more mid 70's I grew up with my teenage years through the 80's. :-)

Ah, I have the Hohner B2a to cover that..... lol!

He's probably got more than that now. I can't see the Overwater Original fretless 5-string I sold him in that photo!

Yeah, seems we're the same age. What I noticed was the distinct lack of headless instruments and some of the boutique British brands, which means you weren't into the new wave scene. The 80s were a great time for basses, both with the instruments available and the amps as well.

And no, you know full well that a Hohner B2a doesn't cover the Steinberger gap! :D

Your list reminds me of my first encounters with a Steinberger, and also Spector. I'd seen Steinbergers in Guitar Player, and it was nearly a religious moment for me. When I finally go to play one, I nearly cried, it was so good. Anyway, the same store got another interesting bass in, and they said something like "if you liked the Steinberger, you'll love this". It was nice looking, sort of looked like an Ibanez Roadster, and had those weird EMG pickups that Steinberger used. I picked it up, and this thing pretty much plays itself. All the good qualities that a Steinberger had, only in a beautiful package. My first encounter with a Spector! I think younger players don't realise what landmark instruments these basses were. These days, there's so much good quality around, but back then, choices were limited, and to play an instrument like that was an incredible experience.

I currently have:

Fender US Standard Precision x 3

Fender MIM Player Precision 

Vintage Tony Butler V4 Precision 

Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz

More than I need but each has a specific use which is how I justify having them.

I bought one of the Arias, and I think a few have gone since the enfields started arriving

Yes, my 2015 black/maple. I’ve recorded our last 3 albums on it, did my first European tour with it, and played 2015 - 2018 Rebellion Festivals with it. I now only use it for playing at home/recording as don’t want to risk damaging it due to the sentimental value. My other two US Precisions are of the same 2012 - 2016 Series so am always gigging similar instruments.

Currently:

2019 Fender Player Precision

2019 Harley Benton modded '75 Jazz

1998/2003 Fender CIJ Geddy Lee Jazz (currently for sale)

 

I'm in the process of putting something special together and hopefully should have all the bits this weekend. I think that this may be worthy of both a new bass day and bass porn
