I'm sure some, if not all, have been mentioned but I'd love to see reissued some of the high-end wood/low cost basses that Ibanez was building in the mid-'90s but unfortunately got whipped out in the midst of Grunge when it seemed to be Federal Law to be playing a Fender.

I'd also see my cats to see Hamer's Explorer-copies and offshoots of those. To be able to purchase a new Hamer Scarab?

This also isn't so much a "reissue", but I'd love Fender to increase the colors you can order their basses in. Real simple primary colors or bursts, such as Red and Blue like they offered when the line was redesigned in 1995.

Hey tercesyrev - I used to own an affirma a305. Took me a few years to track one down (I live in Australia). Bought it from a fellow TBer Slowburnas (cool guy - whats up dude!). Gotta say it was a completely awesome bass. Light, incredible wood. Monorail bridge. Ebony board that was like glass to play. Unbelievable playability. Great B string. Just one or two things that just didn't do it for me. The preamp was really weak/lacked bottom end. The bass has a completely natural finish that I nearly wrecked after just 6 months and the neck, although having full 20mm string spacing (unusual for Ibanez in any era) had the most shallow neck I've ever encountered. Sold it to a guy in Canada who already had one.

Gibson Explorer... assuming it's made like a Tbird, to prevent them from being too long.


Wal basses.

the original Ibanez ATK

The actual Ampeg scroll basses, not the Eastwood copies that look but don't sound alike, but the genuine articles.

Rickenbacker tuxedo (white finish with black guards, looks better than maple glo IMO)

Hagstrom's Super Swede, a.k.a. "the ABBA bass":

Hell yeah, that's a beautiful looking instrument.

Also a +1 to cheap Ric copies.

+1

One with (2) J's would be nice as well (don't understand why it was only included in a 5'ver. ).

BTW... I had a Pilot Advanced (just like the pic)... FANTASTIC basses! Great tonal options.
