Basses You Can't Have

[Electra Player]

the 1978 pbass I played today

I know how that feels...
Went to a local GC (I know, I know...they do, in fact, suck), they had a black/maple '78 (or near that) P-bass, chrome covers and all.
I played it and like, died, when I realized I couldn't sneak it out in my pocket....

5StringBlues's purple fretless Jazz. Also, Phil Lesh's Alembic Godfather, a Modulus 6, and his Ritter 6 with LEDs.

all i really really relly really really want is Owen Biddle's Callowhill sixer. not a copy i want that specific one. its just so perfect i dream about it all the time. as a pretty broke dude its alot of pipe dreaming. i do have intentions of having one built to spec but it wont be the same because im in love with this one.

The one I played was at a gc also.

To make you feel worse, it feels/sounds way better than it looks (and it looks damn sexy!)

mine's kinda plain...but I just want a nice Ric bass in that oldschool blue =)

 

[neobassman]

Tim Commerford's double neck Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass. I want it!!

I don't get it - a right hand neck and a left hand neck? For ambidextrous players?

 

[Bassist Jay]

The bass that I could only ever dream about having but probably never will is actually not even made yet. It is my own signature series Soundgear bass from Ibanez. I have some very cool and unique ideas for one but will keep them to myself in the slightest event that my dream does actually ever come true.

I know I'm going to get in serious trouble but Ritters are the ugliest things, as with many boutique basses.
I don't care how perfect it sounds, I couldn't stand to look at it.

Let the fire begin!

A teal Roscoe Beck 5, pretty much my dream bass and I can never find one.

Rewind:







I'm sorry folks, I have to go off topic for a minute:

Does anyone else think this is rediculous?

Can someone here please help me think of one legitimate reason why someone would buy a bass with two necks, one tuned EADG, the other tuned BEAD, when one could more easily procure a bass with one neck and five strings tuned BEADG?

-4 string necks are more confortable.
-A double neck looks cool.
-He can afford it, so why not?

ahem... ahem

i would love that!!!!

Right now, "basses I can't have" would include all of them, unless I sell one. The only thing I'm really lusting after is a new Fender P-bass, which I don't really need.

Heh.. one year and 18 days later. One more string than I counted on, too..
