For me;

Fender Roscoe Beck V

G&L ASAT

Musicman Bongo V HS

(I've yet to find a Precision that does it for me, but a HotRod P deluxe with a humbucker at the bridge came close)

I don't own any of those,  though. 

My Warwick Fortress MasterMan V scratches the MM itch quite well,  and the Infinity SN IV makes some nice noises, too.

Yeah that combo should cover a lot of sonic territory. And of course you have a certain little French number 😉

Here is my trio...

The one on the right has been with me for about 30 years, it's a Pretender made by a Northern Ireland luthier in 1983 - slim line jazz body, esp neck and emg pickups, plays & sounds great. It saw most of its action back in the punk band days, when it used to bounce off my knee due to an extra long strap, and seems to have been dropped a few times along the way. Its gets the odd run out but it mostly just provides mojo on the wall these days.

The one on the left was a wedding present from the current Mrs &bass, so has been in my hands for about 18 years. 1994 2eq stingray, sounds great and will probably always be my favourite. 

The middle one is brand new to me, a 2010 American Standard. I really like olympic white & maple and this showed up for sale right after I had offloaded a Stingray 5, so obviously was meant to be!

Just need some gigs now....

That’s a great collection and nice to have two of them for so long; they must feel’like home’ - I hope I can keep mine as long as that. They compliment each other really well hanging up like that. Not sure I’d get permission to do the same!

Cheers

You need two more jazz basses and you’ll have three sets of three!! Great collection

Very nice set, a PJ makes a great addition too. Maybe something graphite and super modern next?
