If you had to choose 1, what is the fastest, most nimble bass you have ever played?
By fastest, I mean in terms of both hands being able to move at maximum velocity with ease. Feel free to interpret that as you wish...

|  | Thanks to Alembic, I'll have G.A.S. until I die. | | Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: New York City | | | I find I move faster with a bigger neck so it would have to be either my ESP Surveyor II or my Rickenbacker 4003FL with honorable mention to the Steve Harris Precision Bass I tried in the Sam Ash and the Fodera I tried in the Guitar Center. That thing practically played itself though so not sure if it should count.
Of course, if by "fast" you mean thin; Ibanez SR series </thread> |

| | | | Ibanez SR500. The combination of the slim neck, close spacing, and low action make it just super fast.

Hands-down, it's my LullDowsky 4-string!

The 57' AVRI I played earlier today was pretty awesome too.

| | | | BC Rich Paulo warlock spalted maple and Jackson JS3. Little bit wider then ESP Ltd & Ibanez SR but the back profile makes up for that and theyre necks are just faster easier playing to me.

Never played a Soundgear either. I need to get some basses. |
