Best Looking Bass?
Really?
I can't even tell you which of mine is the "best looking" - it varies on any given day.
Of course, if you aren't into wood these will simply be a yawn to you as many solid color "painted" basses are to me.
To go even deeper, how in the world do you classify ONE of the dozens upon dozens of amazing instruments on here as "best"? Sorry, just not possible for me. Also, beauty is quite obviously in the eye of the beholder.

alright, just checking. it kind of looked like the was a dual-rail type in the mute spot.
Ahh....I had the mute bar chrome plated, then stuck on a vintage style skinny foam strip. That's probably what you see.
Mr Torzal Twist bass himself Jerome Little has made some absolute stunners.......
I have to include my 1973-ish Ibanez 'lawsuit' Les Paul Recording. Apologies for the poor pic, taken during cleaning. I also nominate the Gibson Triumph! 
that explains it.I thought I was seeing some kind of variation on this

I will always think my fretless J should be considered, but everyone thinks their "children" are beautiful right?
Some basses I liked to look at (apologies for any re-posts); [EDIT]- Added descriptions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

. We all know that's a guitar strung as a bass, right?
I'm not the J fan I once was... but, that looks pretty damn sweet. If it were mine, I'd be on a mission to make the headstock match the pickguard!!!I will always think my fretless J should be considered, but everyone thinks their "children" are beautiful right?
That is beautiful! Now if you could put a laminate on the headstock to match that wonderful pickguard it would be perfect!I will always think my fretless J should be considered, but everyone thinks their "children" are beautiful right?
