Des Laurdes "my first bass I was a kid"
Lotus
Fender Squire
Vestor
Aria Pro "Guitarist got mad at drummer and knocked a chair on to it and crack my pearl white paint

"
Samick (My first 5 String)
Ibanez "my first six"
Carvin LB76p "My current Favorite"
Fender Mexi Jazz Bass "Bought to Customize, now better sounding than a American but not as solid"
