The one Brian Ristola made for me is without a doubt the most awesome bass Ive ever played.

Gun to head, can only name one.....Alembic. No hesitation.

After that it would be
  • Music Man
  • Roscoe

I like a lot of others but I LOVE those three brands. Glad I own 1 or 2 of each.

Fender.

...unless I can find and try a Lakland. A good handful of bassists have dropped Fender for Lakland - I'm dangerously wanting to see if it can do the same to me also!

Unless you like being confined to a very limited set of color/fingerboard options (Skyline) or are rich, good luck.

According to the numbers, Spector, G&L, and Ibanez. I'm also big on Roscoe and Pedulla.

Always wanted to get my hands on a Rick, because I loved it look and sounding. Not a huge fan of branding, cause I played lots of bass guitars in my life, and I cant choose my fav, but the brand I'm mostly into is Defil.

I like Leo-inspired basses. My current 3 basses are Fenders, and I've owned a half dozen or so, but I also like MM and really have the hots for a classic Sterling. I hope that some day my playing improves to the point that I'll deserve a Lakland, Sadowsky, or Lull.

I've owned one Ric, and some low end Yamaha, Ibanez, Cort, Steinie Spirit basses.

G&L and Warwick, with a soft spot for other "original Leo" brands, and Pedulla
