eude Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Wow, some awesome stuff on here! Here goes... Mexican Fender Precision Bass - Red, White Scratchplate, Rosewood Fingerboard. Acquired at the tender age of 12, this bass was nearly as long as I was tall, and I've not grown much since. Sold to fund the Washburn below Squier HM5 5 string - Metallic Blue, Rosewood Fingerboard. My first 5 string bass, and actually a really good instrument. I do regret moving it on. It too went so I could acquire a Washburn 6 string bass however. Seeing as these things are fairly rare, here it is in my parent's living room, in the very early 90's >> Washburn MB6 6 string - Alder body, Rosewood Fingerboard. My first 6 string bass and I’ve never really looked back from having “too many strings”. Not a very exciting bass but well made bass and very much served a purpose. Sold to fund the Vester Jazz. Homemade 6 string Fretless - I made a bit of a beast of a bass when I was 16, at evening classes reserved for Baroque instruments like dulcimers and weird oboes, but the teacher owed my Dad a favour and had been a bass player in a previous life, so he was interested to see what it was all about. Originally, it had a 2 piece Olive Ash body with a bolt on Wenge/Mahogany 3 piece neck and a raw Wenge fingerboard, EMG DC pickup, Schaller Tuners and a Wilkinson Bridge It was a 36” scale instrument, and even though it ended up being my main bass for several years, it was a struggle to play for long gigs or sessions and I eventually retired it, only for it to be resurrected and tastefully improved later on by none other than @Andyjr1515 who turned it into a 31.5” bass, as is my now preferred scale length, he chambered the body, added a sexy Katalox top, made a new 3 piece Mahogany/Walnut neck with an Ebony fingerboard and added a Warwick Bridge. It remains a permanent part of my stable, and always will. Read more about it here >> Vester Jazz Bass - Glossy Black. 70’s style Jazz Bass copy, with a Tortoise Scratchplate, and Rosewood fingerboard. Really really nice jazz copy. Eventually got broken down for parts for project basses that never happened, and then sold off in bits. Bassix Tinky Winky Purple Flying Vee Upright - Bit of a wild one, and not an experiment that stuck with me, but it was fun for a while. I have no idea what it was made of, but it was purple, with a maple fingerboard and black tape wound strings. Didn’t sound like an upright, didn’t sound like an electric bass, still very cool though and nicely made. Sold on this forum. Fender Mexican Jazz Bass - Same spec as my Vester Jazz above. No better no worse, but didn’t really gel with it. Sold on. Cheapie Spector - Super cheap bass, one of their entry level offerings in black. Not a great bass if I’m honest. Tried in for a decent flight case. Warwick Thumb Bass BO 5 string - My first proper high end instrument, and also my heaviest! From the ear where Warwick were clearly also making Wenge Baseball Bats. Ovankol body, Wenge neck and fingerboard, insane weight, but your reward is a fantastic sound, heavier basses do sound better to my ears. Sold on to fund my Shuker 4 string below. Shuker Single Cut 6 string - My first fairway into he world of custom basses. Amboyna drop top, on Ash, 5 piece Maple/Wenge neck, Rosewood fingerboard, 33” scale, EMG DC pickups and Shuker’s own 3 band EQ, which is a very nice circuit. With this being my first custom, I got a few things wrong, but I played it happily for several years and eventually moved it on, on this forum. Shuker Jazz Bass - Gloss Black sexy wee thing. Black Walnut body, 5 piece Mahogany/Wenge neck, Rosewood fingerboard, 33” scale, EMVJV pickups. Modified with an ACG EQ02 preamp, and then sold on here, miss this one sometimes. ACG Finn SC Classic 5 string - My first ACG, the start of an obsession. Swamp Ash body, Wenge neck, AI Bloodwood fingerboard, 33” scale, single RFB pickup and ACG EQ02 preamp. An amazing bass, and my main bass for some time. Eventually sold on to our very own @SiBob. Sorely missed. ACG Finn SC Classic 6 string - Ziracote top, Wenge back on Ash, 5 piece Wenge/Flamed Maple neck, Ebony fingerboard, 33” scale, two SB pickups and a John East U Retro 3K preamp. Fantastic bass, but I had new ideas. Sold on here, can’t recall who too… ACG Finn SC Classic 5 string fretless - Rose Myrtle on Spanish Cedar chambered body, 5 piece Maple/Bubinga set neck, Ebony fingerboard, 33” scale, 2 SB pickups and ACG EQ03 preamp. Absolutely incredible sounding and playing fretless bass, but moved on to The Netherlands to fund other things. ACG Finn - Tulipwood on Alder body, Wenge neck and fingerboard, 33” scale, 2 FB pickups in slim casings, simple John East preamp. Lovely bass, but for some reason I just didn’t quite click with it, probably due to me being obsessed with Single Cut Basses. Sold on. ACG Krell SC E-Type 5 string - Figured Maple on Ash, all coloured in Black, 5 piece Maple/Wnge/Purpleheart neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard, 33” scale, PB and RFB pickups and an ACG DFM preamp. Another amazing ACG but my interest in shorter scales meant I had to move it on. Another one sorely missed though. I did enquire about having Alan turn it into a 31.5” 6 string, but it was too much effort for all involved. ACG Salace SC E-Type Headless 6 string - My first headless bass, and my first 31.5” bass too. Koa top, Mahogany back on a Spruce core, 3 piece Ash neck, Cocobolo fingerboard, 31.5” scale, 2 FB pickups and a John East Unipre preamp. An amazing sounding, and playing bass, so compact yet so rich in every capacity, for me anyway. ACG Recurve - Mexican Kingwood on Black Limba body, 3 piece Ash/Wenge neck, Wenge fingerboard, 31.5” scale, PB and SB pickups and a John East/ACG P Retro preamp. Amazing little bass, and wish I could get back at some point. Very light, yet very gnarly sound. Sold on here. ACG Krell SC E-Type Headless Fretless 6 string - To complement my fretted headless 6er, I had to have a fretless of course. Fractal Birch top on an extra thick chambered White Limba body with a thick Purpleheart veneer, 3 piece Wenge/Purpleheart set neck, Macassar Ebony fingerboard with Purpleheart and Maple lines, 31.5” scale, 2 FB pickups, hard wired in Parallel and an ACG DFM preamp. I absolute adore this bass too. ACG Finn SC Classic 6 string - Pretty much the bass I would’ve bought when I ordered my first bass from ACG, had I known what I know now. Black Limba body, Wenge neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard, 31.5” scale, single RFB pickup and a John East Unipre. Simple 6 string workhorse with a really solid punchy tone. ACG TKO Modern - Awesome, more traditional sounding bass for me. Flamed maple on White Limba, coloured in a little bit black, 3 piece Ash neck, also coloured in black, Rosewood fingerboard 30.5” scale, reverse PB pickup and passive Vol/Tone controls. String up with TI Flats and it’s a real vintage sounding beastie. ACG RetroB 5 string - Super Jazz on steroids. Flamed Maple on Swamp Ash body, 3 piece Maple/Wenge neck with Cocobolo fingerboard and AI Maple blocks, 2 SB pickups and John East Unipre preamp. Simply divine. I’ve always hankered for a super jazz bass in looks and sound but never managed to get something sorted, but here it is now! ACG Mikro ChubstRR 6 string - Crazy little bass with a 26.5” scale, bit of a mad idea, but it just works! Flamed maple top and back on White Limba body, coloured din a bit black, 5 piece Maple/Bubinga neck, AI Maple fingerboard, 26.5” scale, 2 FB pickups in slim cases, John East Unipre preamp. Currently strung up E to F, but I have some custom strings on the way from Newtone so I can try this tuned B to C. Phew, that is a hell of a lot of basses! Trying not to not sell anything now, and just accumulating until I’m found out Cheers, Eude Edited February 3, 2021 by eude Posted in error 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 On 18/01/2021 at 23:40, AndyTravis said: @PatrickJ and I were talking about how many basses I’ve got through. We had a laugh, I shared ridiculous purchases (the Samick I bought when bladdered which I then Sold to @lee650 the next day) among others... So - from memory... Kay precision - gifted by a family member, was firewood, basically... Yamaha bb300 Japan - Bought in May 1997 for £99 in Sound Control - I resprayed it, shoved a mudbucker in it, stupid move. Sold to a mate... Washburn xb100 - Bought from A1 Music in Manchester, it was transitioning to Academy Of Sound, I’d actually gone to buy a Hohner B2A I’d seen that week, but it’d sold Jackson c5p - Bought by my uncle for me, ended up owning this 3 times, used as PX fodder towards a USA jazz, bought back and then sold...and then given back to me and then sold... Schecter model t Robert DeLeo - Used money from Saturday job, took ages to pay off, had it a week, returned it and traded with Jackson c5p towards Jazz bass Fender American standard jazz bass - traded two basses for it, found I snapped g strings on it - probably poor technique at the time...this was at Sound control Warwick corvette - Traded the jazz for this, kept it for years, played it up until 2009 when I sold it, this was at Academy of Sound Spector NS-94 - bought from the short lived Manchester bass centre. Had LED’s in the neck, bought on the day I saw the blue Tune bass I’ve got on the way...swapped for an amp at Spectrum Music in Whitefield.

Musicman Bongo HH - Bought for my 21st Birthday, sold in dark times... Hofner Violin “cavern” - Sold to the same guy who has my old blue Japanese 62p, bought silly cheap, sold for not much more... Jaydee Supernatural - Another “never meet your heroes” moment - didn’t make sense in the band I was in, sold at a loss Ken Smith Burner Artist - Lasted a week, gutted...my ex announced £1000’s in debt the day it arrived, sold nearly every bass I had to resolve Musicman Stingray Classic - Got for my 29th (I think) second best stingray I owned, but definitely the nicest one. Musicman Stingray 2eq - Trying to recoup the stingray classic I missed, not as nice Status Kingbass Artist - Got this from @MB1 who relieved me of a Stingray Classic; found the body and scale too small... Status Groove Bass - arrived damaged, but a great bass, sold cheaply, would love a 4 Fender Geddy Lee Japan - Bought on a whim, sold soon after, loved how it looked, neck too skinny... Fender Nate Mendel - Mega light, lovely bass, replaced bits on it and then sold to @lee650 Sandberg California 5 - didn’t get on with it, bought in a rush as the Stingray 5 I was after had sold... Yamaha TRB5p2 - should’ve tried harder with this, beautifully made, just heavy and a bit uninspiring. Fender Roscoe Beck V - Bonkers thing, great great bass - again, would like a 4 string version Peavey g bass - thought it’d be like a Flea bass, wasn’t...looked ace though peavey gv bass (owned this twice) - Great bass, I sold because I stopped playing 5’s Self build plexiglass P - crazy heavy, 14-15lbs Self build p/j with limelight neck - great bass, swapped for BEX4c Self build p/j duck Dunn - lovely thing, was proud of this... Farida j fretted - still here, made for me when I worked for their uk distributor Farida j fretless - as above...Ebony board Farida fjb6 red - a project I never started, bought and sold within a week Farida fjb6 white - Used for the neck I still have and sold with a fretless board Mike Lull 5 jazz - Excellent bass, one of the nicest 5’s I’ve ever played Fender mex p/j deluxe - should’ve kept this, nice bass Fender roger waters - Not for me, made it into a 57 black’n’gold thing. Swapped for geddy no.2 Fender geddy Lee mex - nicer than the Japan one I had, didn’t last though... Fender custom shop 64 relic jazz (twice) - bought from @three, sold to @binkybongo (who was the original owner...) and then sold back to Loz...then I bought it back From Bill...very odd. Nicest Jazz ever...now belongs to @Normski Fender custom shop 64 NOS - meh, traded for 2 basses at GBBL. Fender custom shop 55p relic - Excellent bass, sold to @Beedster - was made for the CS trade stand at Musikmesse Fender 1977 p - lovely thing, best late 70’s I’ve seen/played... Fender 1975 p - great old P, comfy, barky, woody... Fender Japan Fretless P 70’s - Heavy, but gorgeous sold to @mcnach Fender PBAC fl - Bought out of curiosity, nice thing. Fender power jazz special - Lovely, no need for it though really... Epiphone thunderbird classic - bought at a crack converters, loved it but looked silly on me Epiphone thunderbird non reverse - bought because I wasn’t sure how stupid I could look twice over... Dearmond star fire - Just 🤷🏻♂️, looked ace, can’t remember much about it... Sadowsky metro J - Mega Bass, wanted a P/J Sadowsky metro p - Still here, love it Status guy pratt - loved it, couldn’t justify with the Sadowsky being so lovely (and similar) and to cover a bill 🙄 Status smart bass - Looked great, sounded great - hated the ‘square’ feeling neck... Epiphone jack Casady blue - to replace the gold one I should’ve kept. It’s ace. Spector Euro 435lx - Brilliant bass, flippin loved it. Sold because a car went pop. Turns out I could’ve kept it. Fender Marcus Miller white - now with @bassfan Fender Marcus Miller natural (refin) - Went mad on this, spent silly money doing it up and fitting posh guts...just wasn’t as special in the end and I preferred it as a stock bass, should’ve just had a respray done and kept everything else stock, lost its character Modulus Flea Bass - Still beating myself up over this, don’t talk about it Yamaha bb200 - bought for the neck, arrived damaged, sold cheap Yamaha bb300 - To replace my original bb300, was ace, sold to @bigsmokebass Yamaha bb350f - what the 200 neck was for...should’ve kept it, nice bass, just needed frets Yamaha bb425x - decent workhorse Yamaha bb415 - as above, both did plenty of gigs Yamaha bb1100s 1986 - dreamboat, second favourite BB I’ve ever owned Yamaha bb1100s 1988 - not as nice as other one Yamaha bb1024x - Hard to discuss Yamaha bb614 - recorded with this, nice Yamaha bb414 - This bass makes me smile Yamaha bbg4a2 - 🤷🏻♂️ Nice enough, bland... Musicman 1994 stingray 2eq - Best Stingray ever...sold because I’m a tit Godlyke disciple - Should’ve kept it, just an absolute banger...went to @bassfan when I got his Flea...easily one of the best put together basses I’ve owned. Washburn sb40eq - Mental Graceland esque bass, sounded ok, sold to a guy who runs a Washburn museum in America 😳 Aria sb700 - FFS, should’ve kept. It was pristine. Aria sb1000 - Alright, preferred the 700 in the end. Aria Steve Bailey - Bought in haste, sold at a similar pace, turns out it was a scarce pre production bass. Still 🤷🏻♂️ Guild b30e - best acoustic bass I owned, bar none Tacoma thunder chief - arrived smashed from Mansons, gutted Fender mex 60’s burgundy FSR - nice, but got the CS so fell out of favour Sigma acoustic bass - decent cheap ABG Yamaha attitude special - great bass, the purchase was laboured and got messy and the seller absolutely soured the whole experience and I sold it on after 2 months because it did my head in that I’d given a scoundrel cash for it Yamaha attitude standard pink - great bass Yamaha attitude standard black - Just, a bit nicer than the pink, dunno why Yamaha attitude plus - Was sent back, unfortunately Yamaha bb714bs - Sold to the wonderful @leemarseillebass - should’ve kept it but these things happen PRS EBIV - Again, never gave it a chance, and I would probably enjoy it more now. Nice thing... Yamaha rbx360 (think it was a 350) - got it cheap, did it up, sold it... Fender Stu Hamm Urge - too little Self build billy sheehan wife bass - Madder than a box of frogs, needed a push across the finish line, sold to @ceteraat a significant loss 😂 Yamaha BEX4c - Lovely thing, useless for the band I was in, sold, regretted Hohner Bbass natural - corking bass Hohner Bbass Black (still have this at a mates) - bought for buttons and was ultimately bollocksed, is now sanded to bare wood (maybe primed) and is just a body and neck...should actually finish it Fender AVRI 62P - sold, don’t know why, a nice bass Fender Roadworn Jazz - bought when I had a period without the 64 CS. Lovely thing Danelectro 59dc bass - Chased, chased and chased, got one - sounded like 60’s soundtrack basslines...sold when I realised the body was too small Breedlove 5 string bass - Did 3 gigs with a soul singer, sold it at a loss Ibanez BTB676 - taken in trade against TRB5PII, just too many strings, took ages to sell too... Gear4Music acoustic 5 (defretted) - just messing about with defretting, worked out well, sold it and made money Samick HFB-590 - 2 bottles of merlot, eBay and idiot at the helm...sold the day it arrived to @lee650 Oldfield acoustic bass - stolen by a crackhead, best thing for it...used to replicate a double bass on the cheap, the trubass strings were probably worth more... And a Tune bass arriving this week. please...if you can...share your list of shame. and if you’ve bought a bass from me, and it’s not on the list, please mention it. im so ashamed. never once have I said any of this has made me a good bass player.

la bam Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Westone Thunder I. Great first bass. Easyish to play sounded nice. Fender USA precision sunburst (90s). Felt massive compared to the westone. Really wide neck. Sounded good though. Westone Quantam Headless. Quite small and compact to play. Decent sound. Looked good. Bitsa jazz. Spent a fair bit on this. Lovely colour, a reddish sunburst type. SD quarter pounds. Heavy. TTfunk logo on the headstock. Shine white jazz. Cheap, but ok back up. Rockinbetter Rick copy. Played this in a function band. Decent sound. Looked cool. Arbiter double neck guitar and bass. A rare find. Way to austentatious to play live though. I quite liked the humbucker sound. Couldnt play guitar for love nor money, so a pointless purchase. Shine telecaster bass. Horrendous neck dive. So bad it couldnt be played. Yamaha BB424x metallic red. Loved it. Looked real cool. Sounded great and had a number of great sounds in it. Yamaha BB424 black. Not as cool as the 'x' version, lacked a bit of mojo, but nice bass. Vintage v4bl in black. Great value. Converted it into an all black and gold p bass for a tribute band. Sounded good. Vintage V4 icon sunburst relic. Very light. Good pick ups. Looked ok, but obviously not relic'd. Just painted on. G&L l100 natural. Great bass. Heavy ish but quality. Good sound. Would last forever. G&L M2000. I found it very hard to play as I kept hitting the humbucker as I was used to a p bass. Sounded real nice. Sold because if the batteries went the bass stopped working altogether. A bad design fault imo. Fender FSR 70s precision midnight black and gold. A work of art. Looked beautiful. Sounded amazing, very raw and bite like. Very light. Slight neck dive, but easily manageable. Sire v7 burgundy. Lovely bass in every way. Looked stunning. Sounded stunning. Had a wealth of controls. Worked passive and active. Sire v7 lake placid blue. As above. Sire p7 sunburst. Did not like it and had to return it. Even though it had been set up it had neck buzz issues eventually making it very annoying. Knobs felt flimsy. Sound wasnt brilliant. Shame as I so wanted it to be as good as the v7. Burns bison black. Great looking, heavy bass. Completely unique sounds in it. Certainly not meant to be a plodding along type of bass. I had a strap pin fitted into the point of the bull horn as the standard one on the back of the body made the bass fall away from you when playing. Slight buzz issues in some settings due to the tri pickups, but not heard when playing. I'm just not sure it would stand up to long term touring. Also it's a standard neck length, BUT, the neck isnt fitted deep into the body like other basses so you're about 2 to 3 frets out from the normal position, making it a longer stretch to get to the first few frets. Fender Player precision sunburst. Fantastic bass. Very comfortable. Great looks. Great sounds. Great price point. Westfield purple sparkle precision. Love the finish on this. It's a rare sparkle purple finish which would cost twice as much as the entire bass and a black pickguard. Parts are fairly cheap but useable. Eventually I'll add a geezer wiring loom and pick ups and give it a whirl gigging. Harley Benton pb51. Picked this up a bit worse for wear as a cheap 2nd bass for gigging in dodgy venues. Added a logo. Added a white pb51 scratchplate. Looks good. Sounds ok. Cost next to nothing. Spector legend 4 holoflash. Genuinely, I think the spectors are the best built basses I've ever gone near. They're just a work of art. Beautiful design and the build quality and finish is devine. Lots of different sounds available and very very comfortable to hold and play. This holoflash finish is so different to anything I've ever seen. Spector legend 4 black cherry. As above. But less flashy! ------ So... out of that list the ones I have a little yearning for, considering the sound, look and mojo, and would buy back in a heartbeat are.... Yamaha BB424x metallic red. Fender FSR 70s midnight black gold. Fender Player P bass sunburst (still have it). Both spectors. Sire v7 in burgundy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely bass that I stupidly made fret less and changed stuff. aria magna pro 2 5 string - too big for my hands but a lovely bass Jap j 62 reissue (3tsb and tort naturally) - lovely in OE condition still have ... vintage EST96A in trans yellow. Stingray 3eq clone - Punches above its weight. A nice bass bassdoc built P 70s style. (3tsb and tort naturally) Still have it, haven’t changed a thing as it was perfect from day 1. Except i reliced it using Adam Clayton’s sunburst P as a model and I now love it more home made J stack knob in Olympic white, rosewood TORT and fake blocks - see my build thread - self relicing as the super thin nitro is crazing nicely Edited February 3, 2021 by Geek99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) With bags of time on my hands, I thought I'd make up my list of 25 into a pictorial representation. All the photos are of the actual instruments, except the Yamaha BB300, RBX270, the Westone Thunder II and the MiM Jazz Fretless, which are the nearest ones I can match to my memory from the net. They are, as near as dammit, in order of acquisition (maybe one or two are out of sequence). Of these only the Maruszczyk Elwood Ls, the Rob Allen MB2 and JMJ Mustang (only 2 weeks old) remain.

It was one of the first run of Roadworns with an additional Seymour Duncan and Hipshot D Tuner fitted (plus other cosmetic shenanigans). The problem was, it was so light in the body that it had horrific neck dive (not helped by the chunky neck and D Tuner), which meant it gave me horrible shoulder pain. I will definitely revisit a double P at some juncture as it's the greatest sound IMO. A pair of Nordy Big Splits might be order of the day when that time comes - mmm.

adamlunt Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Modest entry: Squier VM Jazz Bass in Sunburst - First bass, sold with Babicz bridge. CIJ Fender PB62 - Really should have kept this. 86 MIJ JB75 - Modded by BassDirect and sold for far too little. MIA Standard P - Decent bass, but a bit dull. Sold on here. 80s ESP fretless PJ - Turns out I’m not a fretless guy. Sold on here. 78 P Bass - Current bass. Loud and heavy, does the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, as was the other one that I cropped and cloned out. I do have a picture of mine (it’s almost identical) but it’s not really usable. PS. I hope you don’t mind.

Nice bass, couldn't hear the damn thing in a band setting so it had to go. Wow...would love to know why you couldn't hear a P bass in a band situation.
