Bass Beauty Pageant

I think these are pretty nice, but I'm biased.

OK, since you allowed me to post five - I am in. I am really finicky about body shapes, and LOTS of body shapes simply make me yawn.

I only play fretted 4 stringers, so I don't lust after 5, 6, 7 or more strings. Although I have seen countless magnificent beasts that fit that category, I have disqualified them here - because they are not for me.

Also, although I DO truly feel that - at least to me - some of mine might qualify, I have also disqualified my basses as well.

Here is a Custom Shop PRS #1181 which is a modern day version of his pre-factory basses. I love it but it has two strikes against it for me. It is fretless and full scale:

I love the Dragonetti from Les Godfrey and when I win the lottery I will have him build me a similar one with no magnetic pickups in medium scale.

I really like this Dragon Wing Alembic, tickles my toes:

This Paul Lairat "Gabriella" also makes me smile:

Had to have a rather magnificent Rob Allen on here:

I feel bad that I don't have a Roscoe represented, but I have not seen a four string Roscoe that I like better than mine. Keep em coming - don't get me wrong I love looking at ALL of them!
