|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Nashville, Tennessee | | | There are far too many to list. Sadowsky, Rob Allen, and Modulus are some of my favs, but are pretty pricey . I like what you mentioned though. Those are the main ones on the 2k or less club, routinely seen in catalogs.

And it's obviously MusicMan...

I vote for none of the above, based on my extremely biased opinion!

Because, ignoring the fact that I don't own any of the listed makes, the answer to 'which bass make is best?' is both 'all of them' and 'none of them'.
