GBH Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Oh blimey, too many, but there's a few that stand out, a late 90's US fender jazz, black with a single ply scratchplate, two early Zoot boudicas, the first shape, a blueburst fretless 5 and a natural flame maple 6 string. A Carvin LB75 in trans red and a warmoth gecko fretless 6 in flame koa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zoots sound very interesting. Never played one or seen one in the flesh. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 If anything for me it’s a guitar - an Epiphone Gary Clarke Jnr Casino I had a few years ago. It just sang and made me want to play it continually. I don’t play much electric guitar and when it came to selling something I kept my old MIJ strat which is in truth more versatile. But I never play it - I’d have played the Epiphone more… 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knirirr Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 From time to time I regret selling my first bass. But, I fear that I wouldn't get much use out of it if I still had it, as is proven by the "for sale" section here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old fretless technique of playing with a box on your head to avoid looking at where your fingers are. 😉 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was even in tune the first time I gigged that bass (choice of notes is another matter). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Mine would probably be my Yamaha P35. Easily replaceable if you have the money though. The instrument I miss most sentimentally is a PRS CU24. More than wanting them back, I’m more curious to know where old instruments are now. I know one is in France and another the USA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 For sentimental reasons my first 'proper' bass one of the original Spector Legends (serial no. 8854): From 'just a great bass' POV, this ACG fretless was awesome. I would buy both back in a second and have actually tried to track them down but to no avail. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) There's quite a few - the MM SUB that @ikay has now is a particular standout. Edit - in fact I'm fairly sure it's his avatar.

Musicman666 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 it would have to be the wal pro 1 and the squire p bass first edition both bought new back in the early 80s...even my 70s musicmaster would be most welcomed if it was to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Panzer Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 My dads old red and white Fender P bass with all the old chrome hardware covers on it, probably from around the 70's. I guess it was never technically mine, he gave it to me to keep safe when he got kicked out by my mum but asked for it back a few years later...if I was into playing bass at the time I would've tried to keep it.

StickyDBRmf Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 My first bass. It's a Jazz sunburst tort maple neck / the big block inlays. '73. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I would dearly love to get my trusty Stingray 5 back again. It was fitted with a Status neck by Rob Green in early 2005 and was my go to bass for many years. Only sold it because I was playing in an Elvis tribute band and didn't need a 5-string. Big mistake. Where is it now I wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
