Ive got a Cheap Yammy and a Fender Strat but I like me basses best...Charvel, Status Graphite series and I recently bought an old Ibanez SB900 active (very nice sound)....

Mmmmm...Status Graphite. Almost bought a 6 string Status from the Bass Centre, wish I had done now.

I have the aforementioned 1973 Ricky 4001 which I bought secondhand in 1976 with money given to me for that very purpose for my 21st. As well as that I have a very nice Patrick Eggle Milan 5-String which once had frets, but was de-fretted by Martin Petersen at The Gallery, this is now my main bass. Martin Petersen did a superb job on it, and on refretting my Ricky...I still lust after his Sei basses.

Then I've got a Palm Bay bass, better known for heavy metal axes, but this one is quite subtle with a sort of slightly angular strat type body (very small for a bass) a nice slender 24 fret neck PJ active PU's and gold hardware, it also has mahogany body with a very pretty birdseye maple cap and headstock, this bass is the fretted bass I take to gigs now (cos I can't leave the Ricky lying around at gigs anymore - it's too precious to me).

A spare 5-String in the shape of a Squire Precision 5 (but with JJ PU's) and a cheap (ish) Crafter Acoustic bass rounds it off.
