WINNER!

(Though I always did like the look of a Ric too.)

The ones that seam to catch my eye are the EBMM SR5 and pedulla rapture JJ 5.

Love many other Warwicks too...

 

[namraj]

Well they haven't yet.. dont think they would, either

I'm certain they will, sorry guys , for me the only reason why that matters is when i spend + of £1000 on a bass guitar I want to have it in my arsenal "for ever" and if it goes out of fashion then I would have a problem.

Ahhh... yet another excuse to show my Spector!

EDIT: took me 3 tries to post this... I'm having a great day so far... :/

He looks like a well groomed Mike Tobias!

LOL - he does! They're both living in pretty much the same vicinity as one another (upstate NY). I guess the "mountain lifestyle" does that to you!

New Fender USA hot rod jazz

I like the looks of these. If I had the money, I'd stick a J pup in there, and throw a jazz neck on it.

another fan of the 4003 shape and available colors with that chrome work, but there are so many beautiful basses out there.

Hey, I've seen that bass before somewhere . . .

Oh yeah, it's upstairs.

Other than the Reverends which I obviously love, I do like the look of Rics and some classic looking Fenders like the one Mark posted.

Here's a pic of my '81 Ric 4003, which was my first bass, bought in 1986. I still love the looks:

A few faves that aren't mine:

aaaand HA!:

 

[Ten Four One]

Is that the hollow one Tobias designed? I want to hear one of those.

What is that? It looks like a predecessor to the Ampeg baby bass.

 

[Chef]

The silver is indeed the tobias designed lakland.
the violin is a univox:>o!

ps: I took lessons at the mel bay store in Kirkwood MO from '72-76.

I dont understand everyones fascination with MM Bongos. IMO they are the ugliest things I have seen.
