Warwick Thumbs, for sure. The way they just "combine" with the person wearing them is a thing of pure beauty. Here's my two:

'97 Thumb BO5

'96 Thumb NT4

I love my Dipinto Belvedere Deluxe. I haven't seen many played live (and I've NEVER seen a green one) and I get tons of compliments on its looks and sound.

something about a Smith that just draws me.

Ive always liked the look of the modulus flea bass. Anyone have a picture of the purple sparkley one from bass nw a couple years ago?

This one is my all time favorite in every catagory.

Here's some others that I really like.

One of these in a 4 banger with a Precision size neck, and passive P electronics would be very cool. Love the look of these.

Fireglo Ric's do for me as well.

The Shell Pink Single Coil Precision of TB'er (Caca de Kick i think) really does it for me too.

I think I would have to go for a G&L L-2500

I'm not a huge fan of coffee table basses, but there sure are some pretty ones posted here.

If I were -forced- to choose, I'd pick the classic lines of the Rickenbacker.

Skotsour, that DiPinto looks sweet.

 

[RickenBoogie]

Me too, a 4001 or 4003 in either Jetglo or Mapleglo. I feel boring. Those "coffee table" basses are gorgeous, but I'd be afraid to take it out.

 

[Basdyret]

there was this one ritter that was fretless, fretboard/neck went all the way to the bridge, one of 3 but his was the only one in platinum finish. that thing was a beast

That would be mine - which is strangely also one of my favorites

I have to say that I couldn't possibly say what my single all time favorite bass would be - there are so many beauties out there, although I will admit many of those high on my list are already in this thread...!

Thanks, Toshiro!

This one. If it came up on the market, I am pretty confident I would buy it almost regardless of price. I am not sure if Jared Morante still owns it or not, but it is is the shizzle.

Definetly my favorite bass ever!
like you, if it came for sale I would buy it right now. I sent Jared an MP many years ago to let me know when/if he is selling it.

Warwick Thumb bass NT and Sadowsky Nyc's.

 

[AshenBassist]

I really like the Jazz bass shape, Brad Smith's from Blind melon to be exact. Natural with black blocks on a maple board and no pickguard, real nice looking.

Wals and Lakland Decades are really cool too.

and these:

Worker Bee

Neal Moser Templar Genesis Bass

I really dig the new Paul Gilbert sig from Ibanez, it's an upside down Iceman they have dubbed the Fireman. I'd love a bass one of these...

This one:

 

[kshewchuk]

Les Claypools Rainbow Bass FTW!

 

[MOTORHEADBANGER]

I love the look of a good ol' p-bass, but the one that I enjoy the most is a Rickenbacker, especially Lemmy's sig.

Is that one of the old Overwater designs?
