Basses You Can't Have

[Gelfin]

Looks like an Alembic to me

 

[3NotesAbar]

I have a pretty huge list but I'll attenuate it since its just minor therapy:

- Pre CBS Jazz
- Pre CBS Precision
- Fodera Matt Garrison Imperial
- MTD 535-24 w/ maple fingerboard, Cherryburst Ash body..oh the sweetness...bye.
- Early 70's Precision (under 9lbs)
- Warwick Streamer Stage II-5string
- Yamaha TRBJP1 (charcoal burst, hard to find, even harder to play for me small hands)
- Marleaux Consat Custom 4 and 5 (actually had a 4 but truss rod problems and lack of good repairmen back in the day led to a cheap sale...farewell old friend)
- Last but not least...- Marcus Miller 4 Sunburst (thanks to major price hikes over the years...buying one would equate to putting one through my own foot)

Good news is...I'm getting my Wooten Monarch Classic sometime mid next year

Wal Mk I, Re: Don't have (at least) $5200 lying around.

I'd want one of Entwistle's Alembic Explorer basses with the spider web inlays.

 

[Salsa_Lover]

It's a Double Bass . A fretted Precision with a Fretless Jazz I just wish it was real, not photoshop!

I have this one !!!!1!

just the siamese twins got separated already

 

[B String]

This a bass YOU can't have. Only a few made and its amazing.
Its a Tyler, Laboriel 5. Its blue over silver sparkle.

 

[Gelfin]

Here's another bass YOU can't have. There's only one and it's mine.
Fretless neck Bartolini active pups. Fretted neck Ric pups.

I want the bass NOBODY can have. I want James Jamersons ORIGINAL 62 P-bass!

 

[dav_tm]

oh dear lord.

 

[AaronD]

I would have to say
1. A signature Stuart Zender Warwick
2. A White warwick streamer stage 1

 

[Shy Guy]

A warwick CS streamer OR a ball family reserve redwood Ray

How about a 5-string Alembic Exploiter? Do those even exist?

How about a 5-string Alembic Exploiter? Do those even exist?

Here's what happened when I plugged an Exploiter body style into the Alembic Quote Generator, using the Europa model as the base bass.

As a fan of Abe, I certify that this thing rocks! He was wearing a Tyler when I met him and he gave me a hug.

An Alembic, preferably this one:

 

[birdman14]

JPJ's Alembic
Jaco Pastorius Jazz
or TBer I<34080 's collection of Rickenbacker 4080s

 

[Lazerrus]

I would love to inherit Steve Harris's 72 P.

 

[Hoover]

What are basses you wish you could have, but could never get?

One with an airbrushed photo of Raquel Welch naked on the pickguard. Wife would kill me!

Ditto!

I probably won't be able to afford a Noguera YC fretless for a couple of years... I just watched this video:


And now I want one. They're &#8364;3000 in 5-string.
