Mastodon2 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 My main is a six string P, a six string Jazz and a six string Stingray with a 35" low B like nothing I've ever heard. I can't think of anything that could replace it that isn't a custom with the same custom pickups and preamp. Maybe I'd trade it for a 35" US Spector but I'd be losing some versatility and the B might not be as solid. I think the B is a combination of the scale and the staggering mass of the bass. On the downside it's not exactly ideal for long sessions standing. My old Spector was better in thst respect but I'm thankful to have a decent back so weight is the least important criterion for a bass - my #2 bass is a 5 string Thumb! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 my Shuker's are not only custom built, but couture built too. So that's a no from me. I'm out. Our survey said "X X" Stick etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassfan Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My Modulus Flea blue sparkle was my go to for a few years, I always thought it was a keeper, it’s the bass I’ve had the longest but no longer my go to. Even my missus likes it Could I be tempted to let it go... Yes, but that 4 string headed status series 3 with chameleon indigo finish had better come with blue LEDs. 😂 My 64 NoS jazz is going nowhere though. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 forgot to update this. Fitting how my last response was to @bassfan and eventually I ended up not having to stick nor twist... And the Modulus which i described as 😍 is now next to the jazz I was thinking about swapping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Still using No.1 Rockinbetter, closely followed by No.2 Rockinbetter. The No.3 Bass Collection Californian is still there, but the sound isn't as good as the other two. Still looking at Ric 4003's, but after playing a few newer one's, I think I need to get a pre-vintage circuit version like my old one, as the neck profile is different. Still a pipe dream, as the prices of them keeps going up, and I seem to be even more skint than before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 4-string fretted: Vigier Passion II, 1988 5-string fretted: Modulus Graphite Genesis, 1999 4-string fretless: custom hi-Z NT made by K. Ukkonen, 2016 eub: Clevinger 5, 1990 something Playability should be far better if I would even consider changing any of these. Fretless and eub are not for sale at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I can’t see anything replacing my Dingwall Super Ps. Just the perfect basses for me, from the tone to the weight and the feel. Their build quality is second to none IMO. Bought both of mine second hand from noble BassChatters but I think I may well take the plunge and spec a brand new Dingwall Super J custom next year once I’ve finished my tour in August. If I had to keep only one, it would be my Dark Candy Red Super PJ recently acquired from Skinnyman of this parish: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford13 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I stick with my pair of Alpher Mako Elites. I can’t see me wanting another bass. Now I have bitten the bullet and put together a monster Mesa / Vanderkley rig I am totally GAS free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaRik Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If it has to be same value then nope, I'll be sticking with my T'bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 My main bass has changed so many times now that I have no issues swapping any kit out for anything if the deal is good. It's taken a long time to be able to acknowledge this but I have no loyalty when it comes to kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Tricky. I suppose my number one bass in terms of the one I've had longest, which means most sentimentally etc is my old precision, and I don't want to swap that for anything. The bass I rely on most though is a Yamaha BB604, which isn't worth much, and therefore I also wouldn't swap as for the same price I doubt I'd find anything I prefer. So for different reasons, I'd say stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
