These are a few of my favourite things

[Delberthot]

I've never owned more than maybe 7 basses at any one time but have owned and played some crackers. There aren't many left that I would like to own - Yamaha BB5000a, Zon Sonus, Streamer Stage 2, Fender maple fretless precision and Fender gold Walnut Elite II Precision are the only ones I can think of that are still on my list.

In no particular order:

Warwick Thumb NT5 - big sound but too much neckdive







Modulus Flea - very sterile and lifeless tone compared to what i like but did provide the inspiration for my gold Warmoth for the paintwork and the Gotoh 201 bridge







20th anninversary Stingray - didn't get on with the flat tops on the pickup poles, a bit rough.

[Delberthot]

Yamaha TRB 6, defretted and bought from 7string









Aria maple fretless 5 string







1973 Fender Telecaster bass that had bee modified a bit - sold this to Beedster





2 tone sunburst Fender CIJ '51 reissue precision. This was my second one, also had a mustard one

[Delberthot]

Amber burst or something like that Stingray - worst one I've ever owned






1979 Rickenbacker 4000 POS - what a dull lifeless bass this was






Gold Warmoth single coil precision and Carlo Robelli 12 string bass

[Delberthot]

Big beast of a 12 string that weighed more than my car






Crafter electro-acoustic - not the easiest to play if you're a larger gentleman, ahem.








My second Warmoth single coil P

[Delberthot]

Geddy Jazz that was stealthed, white pickup covers and DR red devil strings




Ibanez SR1016 that someone on here has and I could be interested in buying back for the right price




One of the most beautiful basses I've ever owned - a very minty green Blue Boy Rickenbacker 4003 That I added a vintage guard, pickup surround and a toaster pickup





Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string. couldn't get on with the gap between the pickups but a phenomenal bass

[Delberthot]

Lava Pearl 5 string Stingray - stunning




Teal Stingray




Lined fretless stingray that I should've kept a hold of




Squier modified Precision TB





Maple fretless Grabber copy, sold to some rube on Ebay

[Delberthot]

Defretted Trace T-bass 5 string in sonic blue






Squier Vintage modified fretless




G&L L2000

[Delberthot]

Fender MIJ 80s E Series Precision bass in CAR






Fender MIM Preicision bass with MM pickup





Forgot to take my TI flats off it when I sold it, what rube

[Delberthot]

Which takes me nicely up to date with this




There's only about 40 basses missing from this that I didn't take pictures of or can't find them

I'm still missing 3 or 4 stingrays, 2 Rickenbackers, Fenders, Cheap crap - not japcrap, just crap. my black 5 string stingray and other stuff long forgotten

Blimey, some lovely basses there - but the mint green Blue Boy Rickenbacker is just drop-dead gorgeous!

[OutToPlayJazz]

That Lava Pearl Stingray 5 was a stunner. Have you still got that one?

[Delberthot]

Unfortunately not - sold it when I began my phase of '4 strings is enough'. what a fool. Absolutely incredible under the lights

[Stingray5]

Lovely collection.
I have to ask -- could you pick a 'desert island bass' from that lot?
