I'd have to start studying some Ron Carter and Mingus!!

Uprights look insane! Ever played one before? Even in a store, or something?
 
Yeah. The Sam Ash store near me had one years ago and I'd go in there and screw around with it. They are hard to play. MAN!! The fingers will take a BEATING playing one of those!!
But, it would be cool to learn to be somewhat good on one.

Prog has cost me a lot of money!!
 
 

You know you are a prog addict when the value of all of your bass guitars is much greater than the value of the car you drive!

Nice!  That's a Chris Squire Rick, right?   

The bass in my icon is my Hugh Manson fretless (John Paul Jones has the twin, "Eric The Red," he was on Saturday Night Live a week or so ago with his band "Them Crooked Vultures"...his is fretted, mine not so much.  

How do I post pictures into this window??  Signed, another confused prog bassist!

Yes, that is the Chris Squire model.
#15 out of 1,000. That bass alone is worth more than my car. It has a lot less miles on it too!
 
I use Photobucket for pictures.
I just copy the url of the photo and paste it here.

I used to have that Geddy Lee model in the middle there, but sold it to defray the cost of a human being.  LOL

Now I rely on my Spector five string (which has recently been having connection issues Angry).

As a backup bass, I use an Ibanez GSR-200, which plays remarkably well (and better than many high-end basses I've played).

Not a picture of mine, but this is the Spector model I use (same color and all):

I've always liked the sound of those Spector basses.

Good solid ballsy growl.

I have played a few Ibanez basses and I like them too. The SR5005 is pretty nice for the price.

No kidding- that fifth string almost cracks the earth below your feet!  LOL

It is very easy to play, also, although mine could use a new set of strings.

Thanks, that gives me something to work on!  

What is the finish of the Rick to the right?   I have a 2001 Rick 4001 in Fireglo, yours doesn't seem to match mine, it's more of a cherry...?   The Jetglo Rick is sweet!

Gotta love those Ricks, man!!

It's called Burgandyglo. It's a transparent red over the maple wood grain underneath.
