Bass Collection Survey

[Jones4Tone]

Players and Bass enthusiasts,
IF you had unlimited funds and could own 5 basses. What would be in your collection and why?

I'm looking to see what would be the most sought after basses by players and collectors. If you want to list more than 5 that is fine too.


Thanks

[faust23]

(all listed are highly cutomized)a custom tobias,a custom ritter, a custom carl thompson, a custom curbow(R.I.P), a custom carvin(most likely my first to obtain).a custom ibanez, and a custom washburn
chances are all of them would be a sort of a flying v with a kahler,hipshot,or bass-by() tremelo/vibrato, sorry for your trouble considering i just wasted your time

As a player, not a collecter -

1. Ric 4001
2. Fender P
3. Sado J 5er
4. SR5
5. 70s Fender fretless P (Maple board)

[Jones4Tone]

Include the year bass you may want for the holy grail.

I had a Rickenbacker 4001 mid 60's in my list too.

[ThePerfectBass]

Music Man Big AL
Music Man StingRay
Roscoe LG3005
Fender Custom Shop Jazz
Fender Custom Shop P

That's if I had to choose ONLY 5 for the rest of my life...

In basses, I only *collect* what I intend to play; if one starts to collect dust, it goes.
That said, I'd want a fretted & fretless Precision(add a Jazz PU to the fretless), a black-blocked maple-neck 70s Jazz, a Ric(haven't had one yet- I could always dump it if it's not 'me')& some kind of crazy custom- likely a 6.

I would like one of Darrin Huff's basses, too bad he isn't taking orders anymore. I would also Love to get my hands on and Alembic again and a Fodera. I have a Cliff Bordwell custom 6(LOVE IT), Carl Thompson custom 6, Ernie Ball Stingray 5 and a Fender Jazz 4.

[Jones4Tone]

I like the "black-blocked maple-neck 70s Jazz" too.
I'm mostly interested in vintage stuff in general.

What I have:
Carvin LB75
Warwick Corvette $$
Fender Highway 1 Jazz
Hohner BBass fretless jazz
Peavey GV (think Millenium USA with Cirrus preamp and Graphite neck)
Lakland 55-02
MTD Kingston Artist
MTD 535

There's not a dog in the bunch.
So if money were no object I'd try:
F-Bass BN5
F-Bass VF5
Dingwall Afterburner
Alleva-Coppolo
and I'm still looking for the perfect Fender Precision

- I miss the exxxtrrreeemmme sustain on my Aria Pro II SB 900 fretless. Plays now Jazz d.Luxe.
I'd add the Aria neck-through to my collection
