Delberthot Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 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 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 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.
