1. Which bass in your stable is played the most?

2. Which one is played the least?

3. Is your most played the most expensive one?

4. Is your least played the least expensive one?

Most played is the least expensive - $700, my '76 4001 AZ 'Course, I've had it the longest, and the neck is to die for.

Least played is the most expensive, my 2010 4003 MG SPC 'Course, it's the newest...

1. Goes between my 4001S and my 4004Cii BBR, but that might change soon due to my recent 4004Cii FG aquisition.

2. My least played right now is an Ibanez BTB QM405tk.

3. No.

4. No.

my stable of 4 gets rotated pretty regularly,but i am always happiest with my cii,and tend to favor it. my 70's hybrid jazzbeast would be my 2nd favorite,and the 4000 and my dano hodad tend to get played less often. the cii and the jazz both having 2 pickups cover more tonal ground,the 3 pickup hodad with a 6 position varitone is more of a niche sounding bass,as is the 4000. (both are nice niches tho')

edit oh yea pricewise-the cii cost me the most-it looks and feels like it ,too! but my jazz copy and my hodad each were less than $200 and they both sound great!

1. '97 CIJ Fender fretless jazz

2. 75th Ann DCM 4003 - it has frets; hence it is the illegitimate stepchild in my collection

3. No, not by a long shot

4. No, not by a long shot - just the opposite, in fact

I've answered all of your questions, but it looks as though Rick has gotten a bum deal here. We need more questions.

Of my three Ricks:
1992 4001V63 - Least expensive - most played at gigs (90%) - least played at home 1971 4001 21 fretter (FG and strung with flats) - Mid-priced - played at some "acoustic" gigs - next least played at home

1971 4001 21 fretter (Burg and strung with rounds) - Most expensive - has not been gigged by me - most played at home by far

1. 4004C and '75 4001

2. Beater Kay Les Paul-type short scale

3. No, but it is my least played Rick though.

4. Yes; the Kay was free as a friend was going to pitch it (headstock was broken off)
