Continuing the discussion from Show Us Your Basses:
My First Love, the one you never forget, Let me introduce Blondie…
And talk about arm candy…! I first strummed her strings about 6 years ago.
Fender J Bass Special Edition,

About a year later I was looking for an inexpensive bass for work to practice during lunch time. But with the amp, it was a little bulky to drag into work everyday…
Yamaha TBRX174EW, Mango Wood,
2016
That same year, after shopping around awhile, I found the perfect answer…
It has active pickups with a small jack for earbuds or headphones and a small jack for iPod/iPhone/iPad, I’d hookup my phone(in my pocket) and headphones, crank it up and jam with the band at work in my cubical for 30 minutes everyday…
Headless, Tuning gears in the body, very short but feels like a long scale,

I was always attracted to the natural wood basses and this mahogany axe caught my eye, and not just because Josh has a similar one, although I look at him a little differently now, but because I like his teaching style, the humor, and technique…
Peavey Grind, Neck-Through design,
2017
I had always wanted to get a Hofner (Beatles Bass), but while trying to find one discovered they where have quality control issues. My order was on back-order for over a year because the merchant I was buying it from had to keep returning them because of craftsmanship defects.
I was so bent on getting a Hollow-Body I found this Semi-Hollow-Body, and Wow, what sustain, what tone, sounds like angels to my ears, beautiful… But, there was a terrible neck dive and would sway out from your body because of where the strap connects. This is my workout Bass, like going to the gym, doing it for the results…
Epiphone, Jack Casady Signature,

Last and certainty not least, my sexy Bass made of walnut…
Ibanez AFR4WAP,
