best 60s psychadelia bass?

Precisions and Jazzes, I'd guess.

 

Also, think of the hollow-bodies like Guild Starfire, Gibson EB-2. Danelectro shorthorns and longhorns would also do the trick.

 

Since Precisions and Jazzes are taken, how about a Ric?

Surf...very much P bass territory.

Others...as others have said, Ps, Js, EB Gibsons, Clear Dan Armstrong (Ampeg) basses, maybe a Hagstrom or two...

 

Another vote for a Gibson EB series with a wild, multi-colored paint job.

'In a white room,....'

 

well, i am a sucker for all those jaguar shaped basses...a lot of japanese companies made them...zimgar, tiesco del ray to name two...i love those!
especially if they are short-scale!

A Rickenbacker 4001S stripped down and repainted courtesy of
The Fool. The holy grail of bass psychedelia.

McCartney painted his bass. And, it wasn't stripped till after the paintjob. But otherwise I agree completely. I've got one myself.

 

A pink paisley P bass, of course.

Actually, I think White Room was done on a Danelectro Longhorn...

 

Yep.

 

speaking of cream...

 

Yeah, I've thought about having my Fender BassVI painted like that.

 

This is my current favorite psychedelic thumper!

 

If I remember, the paint ruined the electonics. As it is, the paint had to be scraped off the fretboard for Eric to use the SG again.

I love all that "the Fool" artwork. Baker's drum heads, the Sgt. Pepper and MMT inner sleeve, the Apple boutique...

 

I would say whatever you like......But something quadraphonic wouldn't hurt. Anyone know where to get a good quadraphonic bass? I'll have to put that on my list of things to get eventually, right after wall of sound and azmoth coordinator.
