Best looking bass on Talkbass?

[dcr]

That would be mine

I kind of like the blue strings on it, and Jens sent an extra set with it, so I'll use them first - but I plan to switch to regular strings when they're dead, as I think that will also look great (and they're cheaper )

What? A bass that (obviously) costs a small fortune and you're looking for cheap strings?

Among all the ones I've seen, the one that spoke to me the most I saw like 6 months ago, and subsequently purchased one of
these blue beauties for my very own:

Ok so there are 3 basses I nominate
Markus's
the antigua P (still no pic?) I may have to take it from Warmoth's site
and tommygun's P - sharp looking bass, I've always wanted to do a bass/gtr w/ no knobs. I never use them anyway. those delano's look amazing!!

Not cheap strings, cheapER strings - DR Peacock Blue are very expensive. You think I have money left from buying a bass like that...? Sure, I bought another Ritter and a Fodera the same year I bought this one, but they won't be paid off for another 3 years if my Fenders don't sell

It's called priorities, not wealth

Just out of curiosity, what is the fretboard material on that white Warwick?

Not sure if this is owned by a Talkbass member, but I love this bass that Carey Nordstrand built:

+1 - I was in hot pursuit of that one awhile back, and just missed nabbing it from the guys at basstasters.com. They had sold it just two days before I asked about it to someone I believe lived in Mexico.

My favorite right now is the one I just picked up. This bass was so beautiful to me, it sat as the wallpaper on all three of my computers for at least a month until I had the nads to propose the purchase to my accountant

Burled Redwood top, Spalted Alder body wood, Bubinga tone plate.

I just gigged with it for the first time Friday and it cut through like a knife. A total departure compared to the high-end jazz tone, but just as sweet.

Thunderitter's Q-tuner semi-hollow body. Post some more pics of that one TR, and tell us more about it or link a thread please!

Also Valenti #23. Still got that one Chef? Like to see more pics of that sweetheart too =)

Lotta nice wood here. I nominate this:

 

[Rudyboy98]

Build by TB's very own: Wilser Ramirez. My Ramirez model A5 bass. Bubinga top, neck through Birdseye maple, Ramirez HB p/ups, ash wings. You can see better pics on my Myspace, if you're my friend...

Well, I don't think I can vote for any... too many beautiful basses.

Very nice photography too which I think colors the opinion a bit... I mean, you can take a somewhat mediocre bass and make it look phenomenal depending on your photography skills!!

Also, does anyone else feel this is "wrong"? It's like showing off pictures of your neighbor's wife and declaring your lust for her!!!!!!

not my pic. I forgot who it belongs to, but I remember saving it off of TB and its the only bass on here that Ive done that for. Truely awesome IMO

And THAT is why I want to get my 'natural 72P maple neck refinished in black. I've always felt its a black P living in a natural body. I bet Roger Waters would even drool a bit over this one here.

Kwesi's new Roscoe has to be one of the nicest I've seen! Love the exotics.

 

[Sharko]

Lotta nice wood here.

That's what she said?

Kwesi's new Roscoe has to be one of the nicest I've seen! Love the exotics.

....

Of all the basses I've had, I never expected to find this one in this thread ! Don't get me wrong, it was a sexy looking beast, but it didn't attract as many comments as some of my other basses, when I posted pics of it.

I'm flattered that you liked it though and rather ashamed to say that I sold (along with every other bass in these pictures, excluding the "JazzRay") two years ago .

Here it is again, surrounded by a few of it's brothers and sisters ...

OK , now I'm just showing off !
