Do you own a bass guitar?

[BoringPostcards]

At this time I have 3:

- 2014 Squier VM Bass vi refinished in IBM with an anodized silver guard (Which I use for chordal stuff and doublings more than a conventional bass)
- 2001 American Deluxe Jazz Bass (It's been mostly gathering stuff because of the following)
- 1971 Blue compstang bass, rescued and saved by forumite will . I love this little low end beast to pieces. So inspiring.

My old bass player had one of those Am Deluxe JBs with the body that looks melted. It was a great bass.

I started playing guitar in 1982 (and still do, badly ) and since 1989 I've owned several basses, mostly 1970s Mustangs or Musicmasters. Even though I've rarely had a regular bass gig, they're always handy to have in the studio. Right now all I've got are cheapie Squiers, a CV Mustang and an Affinity Jazz. Both have La Bella flats on them now and even for cheapies they record great.

The Mustang is Oly White and the Jazz is one of the Charcoal Frost Metallic ones that stores were knocking out for about £175 a couple of years ago.

I just bought my first bass last month. It’s a rouge P-bass copy

I have one of the older (and truly fantastic) Fiesta Red Japanese Mustangs.

I have a Japanese Mustang Bass my brother picked up at a car boot sale that cost me all of £250. I've always felt an element of guilt about owning it because apparently someone else was looking at it, and my brother beat them to the punch, so I've never been able to fully enjoy it. But it's a nice instrument, and perfect for me as a non-bassist.

I'd quite like a full scale bass, and to learn to actually play bass rather than being one of those guitarists that bass players hate because they think they can play bass.
