Best looking bass on Talkbass?

[Mr. Ray]

all of these "best looking" threads all end up the same. the first few are tastefull unique color combos of normal looking (fender-ish) instruments. those are IMO the best looking.

then the rest of the posts are all these wild exotic things. wich i do love, and own, but as far as sheer looks go, something about an orange jazz bass or a yellow P bass, just hits the spot..

+1 Agreed, but seeing some of these boutique basses has certainly opened my eyes to some incredible craftsman

Keep those great looking basses coming.......

I don't know if these basses are owned by TB'ers but I always admire these:

Wow... that is NICE! Interesting stuff at the GB website too.

How about as a 4?

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!!

thats my bass, thou tommygun has more control over my pics, and delanos are amazing

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 )

Don't get rid of the blue strings. Seriously, those things make the bass even more awesome.

I have several basses that I really don't play but I can't seem to get rid of because they are so damn sexy.
That yellow bass is giving me envy, but I'm a bit partial to my supersonic blue super j

Honestly... I'm sorry I sold it. It was definitely unique.

I wish everyday I would've bought it when you were selling. Sometimes I just go back and look longingly at the pictures of it.

Favorite bass ever.

(hope he's ok with me posting his pics )

I almost cry everytime I see it (ok maybe not really...)

This one by BurningSkies:

yeah, the series of pics he put up when he got it showed some really neat detail shots. Not only is it stunning to look at, that thing is just flawlessly built. If you described it to me I'd probably hate it, but whe you see the pics that thing is amazing.

that rastaburst is insane

Actually yeah, that one gets my vote. Spectacular bass.[/quote]

Thanks guys! I love it too. Every time I see it I think its the most beautiful bass ever. I didn't post it here because I didn't want to be "that guy".

You sold it? Well, if I could make a bass look like that, I'd refinish everything and sell it for a higher price.
I'd kill to own something that looked like that though.
