Re: Show us all your basses then...
Well, here's a few pics of mine, I'll try to get the rest shortly.
Yeah, this one... Well, um, yeah. It served me well for 20 or so years, from my hardcore punk days through playing on the worship team at church as recently as 18 months or so ago. Finally the neck wore out, it developed a huge hump at the joint and the frets don't amount to much more than a good idea anymore so it was retired. It sports SQ Active EQ's running at 9 volts. In it's day it ran Dean Markley Blue Steels then GHS Contact Core Steels. No wonder the frets disappeared.
This bass replaced the one above, a Squier P-Bass Special from the late 90's or so. It sports Lightning Rods at 18 volts and was converted to all black hardware ala Adrian Smith. It is strung with Dean Markley Helix.
Jackson JS3VQM in trans black with stock pups. It's preferred string so far are D'Addario XL nickels, 45-145. Yeah, that a big string but it sounds awesome.

Yeah, I like 'em four on a side....
