My bass guitar collection. I have been playing for the last 15 years and these are the basses I've collected over the years. I love to play, but i also love working on instruments.

Whats your preferred bass style and configuration (feel, sound, etc.)? Do you like completely stock; or if modified, what is your go to for strings or mods?
