Japhet Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I think the best 'all rounder' I ever had was a Lakland 55 01. That thing could do anything and was a joy to play. Would love a 44 01 now but they don't come up for sale and I'm pretty happy with my Tokai Hardpuncher Precision for everything I play these days.

Leonard Smalls Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 For recording, an '83 Wal. And live, an ACG Recurve. Or a Lightwave Sabre if I feel a bit fretless. Or a Parker PB51 for wild'n'crazy. Or a Sandberg Basic if a little more staid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChWillie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Of all my basses, I’ve gigged and recorded with my 78 Ric the most, and it’s still my darling. The last studio session I did was with my fretless JB—whatever the job calls for, hey? Otherwise, the Ric is king 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Roscoe Century Standard 5 string. I have two though, a fretted and a fretless. The fretted has bartolini soap bar pups, the fretless Bart j pups, so there are more sonic differences than the obvious. Neither is #1, but unless it's a slapped bass part I now prefer the fretless, just don't tell the fretted one I said that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 '94 StingRay all day long. Had mine for just short of thirty years (!) and I still grin every time I look at it. An absolute joy to play, sounds great for any style of music, built like a tank, looks to die for... nothing else comes close for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 My two bands are in such different genres that no single bass (not one that I currently own anyway…) is ideal for both. Currently it’s the Sire V7 (5 string J) for the souly band and the Ska bass (beefy sounding 4 string) for the ska/reggae outfit. If I was to have a bass made to serve both, it’d be a 32/33” headless 5 string with P+MM pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had mine for just short of thirty years (!) and I still grin every time I look at it. I was going to say Stingray. I’m back into ‘Ray fold again (albeit a short scale) and it really does fit anything, not always perfectly, but close enough. Nigh on 30 years ownership is impressive around these hallowed halls, well done, Sir. 3 hours ago, Rich said: Isn’t there a tiny maths fail there?

Ricky 4000 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I always fear and respect Stingray players. They don't fu^k about. And I've never noticed a quiet D string, though it would be a deal breaker for me. Gotta have even levels across those strings... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pole pieces are all height adjustable though so it’s not a difficult issue to solve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I’ve only had used, don’t think I’ve played a new one. Mine had probably been adjusted. 😄 Edited August 13, 2022 by Bunion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
