So, with which bass do you practice?

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

These days it's my 2002 Hot Rod P (Jazz pickup added stock)
I go thru phases tho. Soon I'll fix the jack on my Tokai T-bird & use mostly that one for awhile.

[Basvarken]

I rotate them too.
A bass should be played. When it only hangs on the wall it needs to go.
That happened with my MM Stingray lately. I sold it 'cause it had not been played for more than two years.

For live gigs most of the time I use the 69 Les Paul Bass with Superfloor. Sometimes the JCS.
And the Greco Thunderbird is favorite for Stonefly. Although I often use the BaCHbird too
I always bring a spare. I try to take turns on those too, but some of my basses don't make it to gigs that often...

How many do you currently have Rob?

[gweimer]

Lately, none!   

In general, it would be the newest bass in the collection.  If the band is learning new material, it would be my main player.

[luve2fli]

My latest acquisition - 1991 '62 RI Precision. When not practicing on that, my upright.

Since I sold the Stingray I have 9 left.
But I'm working on No 10

I try to rotate them, but I joined a new band a few months ago - and ever since, the 76 been getting all the playtime:




Nothing else sounds as good to me in that particular context.  The Bach is a close second.  That one is down at the moment, undergoing some slight transformation...

I have my 68 Non reverse sitting in a closet, I named it "Justin Case" , like the commercial, for when I need money.

[Highlander]

The Hohner Jack, cos I've sorta given her to my daughter, so she's always leaning up against the wall in the lounge...

I rotate - driven by whimsical moods, desire, guilt or discipline ("that one has to be played as well - sigh ...").

Lately, I play a lot of fretless at home or in the office, my thought being "if I play just for myself, a few duff notes won't hurt, after all I know how it's supposed to sound ..."  It certainly helps my fretless playing.

Fixed that for you.  

Uwe's Comment: Thanks, you're right. Who - except the suchwise inclined - would like to have his instrument constrained by steelfrets when playing with himself?

[TBird1958]

I always like it when I hit a "duff note" while playing solo.............

It's not a duff note if you play it twice, it's Jazz!

Must not edit Ji, er Jazz...

On topic though, that's beautiful. I see the T-bird logo is red, white and blue but did the '76s differ in any other way from regular T-birds or was that standard?
