10 BEST BASS EVER MADE

[KERMITNT]

Write down the top ten basses ever made in your opinion

 

[Fealach]

OK. I have written them down.

 

[RBrownBass]

This is not going to be pretty. Chances are, you'll get a lot of responses from people who saw your question and thought, "What are the most recorded/most popular basses"?

 

[Hansel]

Or a lot of people who want you to use the search tool, lol.

 

[DanielleMuscato]

Ritter
MTD
Sadowsky
Dingwall
Valenti
Fodera
Rob Allen
Alembic
Modulus
Spector

not necessarily in that order

P.S. Honorable mentions for Wilser Ramirez, Fender Custom Shop, Ken Smith, Curbow, and Warrior

 

[KERMITNT]

[Hella]

OK. I have written them down.

This will get messy

 

[DanielleMuscato]

Suggest for what?

[KERMITNT]

why should be all in order? music has no order mates

 

[scottbass]

Jaco's Jazz bass
Ox's Buzzard bass
Ox's Precision bass
Ox's Rickenbacker bass
Jamerson's Precision bass
Dunn's Precision bass
Dunn's Lakland bass
McCartney's Hofner bass
McCartney's Rickenbacker bass
Scottbass's Precision bass

Also in no particular order. At least those are the basses I think sound the best!

And because those are the ten best individual basses I've ever heard, they must be, IMO, the top ten basses ever made; right?

 

[spade2you]

You're asking a lot of people who have played 3-4 basses to decide the best 10?

 

[Widdershins]

I had them written down but I lost the sheet.

Can I make another, or...?

 

[alembicbones]

I'll play along. My take on this is will be 10 very influential bass models over time.

Fender Precision
Fender Jazz
Rickenbacker 4003
Alembic Series I
Gibson Thunderbird
Steinberger XL-2
Modulus (I'm not sure of the exact model)
Chapman Stick
Musicman Stingray
Sadowsky Jazz

Have fun.

Each has a pretty special place in bass history.

1951 Fender P
1957 Fender P
1962 Fender J
1963 Hofner 500/1
1971 Alembic Series I
1973 Ric 4001
1976 Music Man SR
1982 Steinberger L-2
2005 MTD 635
2008 Fender J/P, because I believe they are making history this year, returning to the magic that was their basses of 30 or 40 years ago.

If music has no order, how can you pick 10 that go on top?
