All around, most comfortable bass?

[BassyVick]

f bass would probably be it for me

lightest 6 string with a big souns

and 19 mm string spacing

 

[MikeBass]

SadowskY
With a "Y", not "i".

And shoot, I didn't see the "Other" at the bottom or I would have clicked that too for my Groove Shoppe 5 (GS5).

 

[hasadari]

Benavente Single Cuts.

 

[BaldBass]

always hard to choose just one, they all have their strenghts and weaknesses but seems like I always enjoy playing my Jazz bass the most

 

[Tony G]

I'm going to vote other. My choice for the most comfortable bass would be the Carvin LB75. They neck is damn near perfect for me. It is a light instrument and the playability is awesome.

This Steve Klein is the most comfortable bass I played.
I'm not fond of the sound and looks though.

I voted for Ibanez. I have small asian hands (and fingers) so I prefer narrow necks with small string spacing. Not to fond for the sound though. I have yet to play most of the high-end basses listed (Ritter, MTD, Sadowsky, Pedulla). Poor me

MTD RULEZ !!

My Schecter Studio 6, In part because my hands are friggin huge! Neck thru and smooth!!!!!

Though I don't yet have one, I'd say the Dingwall Super J is the most comfortable. The necks are easy to play, and IMO the fanned frets improve the ergonomics. So I voted "other."

Of those I've owned, the most comfortable was a '99 Fender American Deluxe Precision. With a proper setup, it played like butter, and it weighed well under eight pounds with its light ash body. I could play it for hours with no discomfort.

 

[Blake Bass]

Roscoe Century for a 5 string and most J-basses for a 4 string

Fenders are best all around IMHO for sitting or standing. That said I find that my Wishbass neck is the most comfortable I've ever played.

IMO , there is nothing more comfy than a Fender J ,
Thats the only bass i can sit with on really long gigs or rehearsals.
The neck , the light weight , the simple construction.
Simply a bass build for playing.

I really love Stingrays although they have big bodies. They are comfortable to me in an odd sort of way. I would have to say the same thing about old Yamaha BB and TRB basses as well as Ken Smiths and Alembics. The kicker is that I also love light, thin necked basses like my old Rickenbacker and my current Peavey Foundation and USA Millennium V. I recently fell in love with a Sadowsky 24/5, it was very light and comfortable to play standing. The fingerboard was very wide, but it was nothing I couldn't handle.

 

[PaleMelanesian]

I voted Roscoe for the neck. I find the smaller bodies a little neck-heavy, but the larger ones are ok. And that neck ... oh, yeah!

 

[The 0x]

Rickenbacker for playing chords up high (damn I want one).

P-bass for everything else for me.


I'm kind of weird. I like chunky necks down at the bottom, but I want them to stay that width when going up higher on the fretboard. The Rics don't have much taper to them at all; maybe that's why I like them so much?

 

[rockstarbassist]

(Other) Boutique bass-

The Dingwall, of course!!

 

[BartmanPDX]

As far as neck goes, nothing beats a Reverend for comfort IMO.

My Sadowsky is very comfortable, too.

 

[acleex38]

Birdsong...with an old Ric I tried out a while back being in 2nd place.

In my experience, Peavey Cirrus basses were incredibly comfortable.
