VTypeV4 Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 My 'in use' lot at the min. Next to the sofa so close enough! From top to bottom: Recently purchased from this lovely community, a tidy '99 Yamaha Rbx765a. A great 'modern' bass. A Squier VM Jazz dating from 2006 which makes it an early one. I've had this since about 2009 and is to date the best passive bass I've ever owned. Definitely a keeper for both vintage and modern requirements. Another Squier next - this is part of an arrangement with one of my students. She preferred my old Legend (Aria) Jazz so I said we could swap for a while. It's a lovely bass, modded with a chrome work and a new scratch plate, it sees plenty of action. And lastly my good old Warwick Streamer LX5. Purchased brand new by me in 2001 when I was merely eighteen, it still delivers with that focused low-mid punch and growl. I'll be buried with this thing. There's my cheap 6-string too but that was at a friend's place so didn't make the photo. It's a KHL Wolf Bass - walnut and maple with a through neck and weighs a ton.. If you read this far, thanks for looking. 👍 4 Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I need to sell a bass to raise funds and make room for a new couch. Quote

Ander87 Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 My small in numbers, mighty in power basses.... above sofa so close enough! I've realised the moment I have a 3rd bass one of them starts not being played... Then I feel bad and want to downsize or reinvest into upgrading other gear or... Wouldn't discard a 3rd at some point, but how do you guys do it? 1 Quote
Piers_Williamson Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 I'm particularly digging the guardian of the sofa/Musicmen. Looks like a British Blue Shorthair.....but that's for Basschat Cats! 1 Quote
Ander87 Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Haha @Piers_Williamson he is indeed! Duke is his name… and we’ll if it was on his quality as a guardian I’d have no basses left ha! 5 Quote

Plus, I've agreed with the missus to lock my budget for gear and can only do trades now, can't let these two go. Still, the principle of 4 may well make sense haha! Quote

Still, the principle of 4 may well make sense haha! it sounds odd, but I had 3 for ages and had a similar problem you describe, I always had the runt that was up for trade or sale or whatever... got to try a load of cool stuff so not a problem. With 4 you have a selection of flavours to try. So if you've got two rays, a limelight P go buy a jazz. You might not use it much, or the P but you've got those flavours there. 1 Quote

Hm I can relate to that! I had the #1, the immediate #2/backup/similar but different, and #3 was the odd one out often on tour/sale/trade or something quirky like a short scale for when packing tight for a gig etc. you may be onto something my friend… Go and convince my wife to keep the limelight now that I’ve 2 ray specials in ha!
