My Yamaha BB1600. Just had the nut replaced. Bass was my 1st love, and I enjoy playing it on my home recordings.

This finally showed up. MF dropped the ball - I probably won't do any business with them going forward. But this bass is pretty nice. I was thinking that I'd return it, but now I'm thinking I'll keep it. I am digging the color. I'd love to get a Strat in this color to match.

The only bass I have left...2007 Squier
I had a Fender Jazz, a T Bird, and a 4001 Ric, but life happened to those many moons ago.

Ate you the guy out of pawn stars?

Well there's the one I bought used in 1972. It's a '69. I bought a MIM Jazz Bass to gig with sometime in the 90's. I didn't gig it much. It still has the plastic on the pick guard. They were pretty low cost then.

I made 2 reversible mods to the bass - I made a "no-mod" plexiglass thumb rest, and swapped out the chrome strap buttons for black Schaller style buttons to fit my straps. Ready for gigging now! Just need to get the band back together.

Just the one...

From left to right:

Fender CB-60, 04' P/J custom (build by a luthier and me during a one week course), 20' Markbass Kimandu, 98' Ken smith burner, 96' Squier MIK jazzbass

My main bass is the Markbass one. Other ones are ex-main basses now backups and house working basses

It's hard to believe I haven't already posted to this thread.

I've been playing bass a long time, since 1971.

My first bass was a Fender Coronado, this isn't mine but it looks the same:


Then I played string bass in high school, college and after for many years:

Got a P bass by 1972:


Sadly all those instruments are no longer in my collection.
Currently, I have These:

Stadium Viola Bass (same as Rogue or Epiphone)
Squier fretless Jazz bass
Yamaha BX-1
and one my buddy made as a fretless with a way too heavy brass block that has been turned into a J copy

@davidKOS,
i think those Squier VM fretless Jazz Basses
are quite nice myself!
My only complaint would be that the pickups are
a bit too low output, but that can be worked around
easily enough with some boost or even a pickup swap
if one is so inclined.

My complaint was the weight...so I had a luthier friend carefully hollow out the back and make a thin cover. It looks the same from the front, and sounds even better with a bit more acoustic resonance in the tone.

The pickups never bothered me. That track I let you hear "Ballad for us" had the Squier fretless on it.

Something fishy about that 6 string of bass

I was a little disappointed in this group after I went through 8 pages and nobody had posted fish yet. Unless I missed it.

 

[Kerry Brown]
