Basses you have a bad hankering for...

[arepa_funk]

Don't have a pbass nor a short scale in my arsenal, and have been jonesing for the Reverend Sentinel.

Was also looking at the JMJ Mustang (read it's fantastic) and the PJ Mustang (read hardware is spotty), though my ear is kind of tired of the Fender bass tone and articulation. Always happy to be convinced otherwise, just haven't had a chance to play them.

I just saw this for the first time today:

Spector NS Ethos 4. 2 color options, Interstellar Gloss (above) and Super Faded Black Gloss (below)

I like the specs, and they are less expensive than the Euros.

I was lusting after one of these bad until i played it. waaaay too tiny for me

Makes sense, they're not going to be everybody's cup of tea. I'm a short-scale player, so it's the perfect size for me. I do however struggle with Fender Mustangs, Hofner viola styles, and other short scales that are really tiny in the upper bout of the body... my lanky physique doesn't gel with those and I get pain in my wrist and back from slouching. The Serek's upper bout stays pretty much as wide as the lower bout, so I don't have that issue there.

I stay away from the bass store....thus no hankering. Can't get too excited over pictures and videos....gotta hold it in my arms.

The bass I really long for is the one stolen from me on 12/7/91. A mid '70s Fender precision. Black body, white pick guard, maple neck & fingerboard. Neck was shaved down to Jazz bass dimensions. Had a Jazz bridge pickup added and a Schaller bridge with piezo pups underneath.

Here are two: Fbasses. Hard to say which one more desireable...

What is this instrument? It's beautiful.

I agree.

After chasing the 20th Anniversary Reverend Mercalli 4 and the Lakland Skyline 44-64 (Custom PJ) for several months, I finally added both of them to my humble collection in 2020. However, I'll leave this world dreaming about owning Berry Oakley's Tractor Jazz bass.

If I’m going to dream...

I’m not a fan of relic’d basses, but this may be the most beautiful bass I’ve ever seen. Killer work, Mas!

What is that bass absolutly stunning

 

[OogieWaWa]

None, I'm happy with what I have, thank you.

Well, maybe a "Beatle bass."

And a new American Jazz would be nice.

And just dreaming, probably impossible to find one that anybody would part with; but a P bass built on my day of birth in May of '56 sure would be cool. Hey, I can dream.

Olinto (for La Bella, the string company) by Mas Hino.
It was for sale here in the classifieds for $4k. For a moment I honestly thought about getting it, if only to hang on the wall as art, as I am unworthy of playing it, but then sanity kicked in. What a gorgeous bass.

Ibanez TMB 30 - butI want a tort guard

still want one. just cant justify it with the MB Gold Bass Gold out there calling my name. they are too sexy

 

[Sam Dingle]

I'm hopefully selling some gear I don't use soon. Hoping to find a moollon P bass, an Ampeg B15 and hope to trade my American Standard P bass for a Jazz bass.

Is that an Aria TSB?

 

[Resonance129]

I could make a 5 page list of Wals and Foderas and Spectors and EMBMMs and MTDs I wouldn't mind having lol...

But being kinda "realistic", the only 2 models I feel I MUST add to my collection at SOME point are a G&L L2K and a Ric 4003s. I'm confident my GAS would MOSTLY evaporate if I could add those 2 to my current 3 (P, J, and a WW Streamer). They both have very particular, albeit versatile sounds that I love.

I've already got enough basses . . . . .

OK, alright, this is about bass stuff. OK, I DO need a better amp to practice with around the house.

The best part? My neighbors would sure as hell complain, but I . . . . can't . . . . hear . . . . them.

Yeah. I also seriously consider it, but it would be too expensive including shipping to Austria and taxes :/
