I keep having to say this, but yeah I should have titled it “what’s your favorite” rather than “best”. Not asking what’s best for me, just what’s everyone’s favorite higher end bass. I’m not dead set on spending $3K (max not min) I just would if I found something that I loved. And just cause...

Very cool, thanks!

4 banger, I love the look and sound of MM but their necks are too wide for my liking. Someone earlier said to keep a lookout for the SLO Stingrays or Sterlings, they have 1.5” nut width. EB makes some in very small runs, maybe I can connect at the right time for one. Soaking all this in, and...

Gotcha. Yes, this has been a huge help, brought me back down to earth a bit too. I’m even more excited to get out and look for new basses than I was before, and starting to realize I can find something great for less than my max. I’ll definitely give some used basses a chance also

Dude relax. I should have said “what’s your favorite” rather than “best”. I get it. I know how to play, I’m not new at this, I just don’t have much experience with higher end instruments.

Yep on the list. Looks like they have tons of great brands available

Correction: I don’t WANT to spend stupid money, I’m WILLING to spend stupid money. I’d be plenty happy with a less expensive bass if I find one, but I have no experience with high end instruments so I reached out to y’all

Yeah should have replaced “best” with “what’s your favorite”

Reno, not Vegas. About a 9 hour drive to Orange county but yeah would love to sneak into NAMM someday!

I’ll be in LA in two weeks, this is the first place I’m going!

Dude I feel dumb, that never even crossed my mind for some reason. Blind to the power of a new bass I guess. I’ll keep that in mind when taking it out thanks

I hear what you’re saying for sure, I love all those guys’ playing too. This all started because I decided to get one great bass that will last me forever, although honestly I doubt I’ll ever really be done searching. I really just wanted to see what was out there from the guys on TB

Maybe I will! That would be the best case scenario

The Mayones I found played great, very smooth. It was used and not even close to the style I like but it played so well I started researching them. I’ll be checking them out for sure. I was in Phoenix and stopped by the Bass Place, they’re mostly an online retailer. He had a ton of spectors and...

I know most would disagree with me, but I think Spectors and Warwicks are kinda ugly. Just not a fan of the designs, but they do sound great
