Blingless bass guitars

[doctone]

Hi everybody, the Sterling MM Joe Dart made me think about this kind of raw, most simple, "naked" electric bass guitars. Do you know about other examples of this kind?
Thanks a lot in advance!
p.s.: I like to look at bass pictures (amongst others).

I dig stripped-down basses too. Here are a couple…

Ibanez GSR100EX:​

Or if two knobs is too much bling…

IMO a black & rosewood p bass with a white pickguard is as bling less as it gets. For some reason, to me it also looks classy as all get out despite that.

Check out the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] which might meet your minimalist criteria. Their website shows the current retail price to be under $300 (US).

I decided to strip my jazz down for something difference and something to do. It's still a work in progress. Few more coats to go and curing to do.

I am not a woodwork guy and shouldn't allowed near a shed.

My home built WD parts fretless…intentionally blingless.

This BN5 and this Ken Smith Burner are quite simple basses aesthetically.
