Re: Which Bass do you find yourself using the most these days & why ?

I keep bouncing back and forth between two, my ZON Sonus 4 and my Schecter Custom Studio 4. I just love the feel and playability of the ZON, plus its tonal palate. In the case of the Schecter, it was love at first sight This bass should have cost hundreds of dollars more than I spent on it. It is that sweet!Although I love the sound of it, and it plays like a dream, I don't find myself grabbing my SX fretless jazz clone nearly as much as I think I should. I could say the same for the Leo-era G&L. The Bronco is/was a fun little project, and it is a good sounding and comfortable bass, but I always feel a little strange when I go back to my full scale instruments after playing it, so it doesn't get as much use.
My Ibanez acoustic was purchased for one purpose, an acoustic folk festival where, although everyone goes through the sound board, solid-bodied instruments are just frowned upon. I don't find that big hollow body all that comfortable, and so it usually sits.In the end, if I only had the ZON and the Schecter, I probably would still feel pretty well blessed!Rob SmithPeace through music!

            I've got five basses myself these days. Two Gibson Basses,  my white Thunderbird that's one of my favorites, a Les Paul Standard that's heavy at 12lbs, but sounds really sweet, a five string Carvin XB75P that sounds really nice also, last but not lest my two Fender Jazz basses my USA 62 Jazz Reissue & my old trust dusty, the one I take everywhere. It can do just about anything, takes a licking & keeps on a ticking, is my Ash body with Rosewood fret-board with binding made in Japan 1983 75 Jazz reissue sunburst with a black pick-guard,. Customized with DIMARZIO DP149 staggered stacked Humbucker pick-ups & a 35.00 Gotoh bridge. I take this bass everywhere. I sounds great, it's built like a tank & It's got personalty. If it where to fall over, or get knocked over at a gig, I don't
  have worry about breaking a head stock or it getting damaged. I really love this bass. It's like a good old trusty friend that your always glad to have around & It
 never gives me the problems than my wife does. Sometimes I think I should have marred the bass. So whose next?
