CAN ANYONE BEAT TOM'S BASS?!?!?!

[WoodyG3]

... but I say there is no "best" and if we all have a bass to play that we enjoy, then we are all winners.

Okay, then, if I'm a winner I want my freaking trophy!

Tom, that fretless is also really georgeous. Thanks for posting a pic.

Calling Munji, it's about time to see a couple of your Laklands...

is that a nordy in bridge position?

This is the best-looking bass I have ever seen. Owned by by Tom Bowlus(big surprise right?) Skjold goodness!


Anyone think they have a better-looking one? I am interested.

I know I definitely do not own one that can compete. so, can anyone convince me that this is NOT the best-looking bass I have ever seen?

This may be another good thread.

Let the battle between this bass and all comers begin!

P.S. I am fairly confident there are not many better-looking basses than this, but if you think you have it, SHOW IT OFF!

Can't wait to be proven wrong.

Pass the ketchup...

I'll put up my standard three. They're favorites of mine, but I have seen others that are better looking. Tom's has a lot of character, but it might be a bit much for some.

hey munji,
what is the top one?
\
jerzy drozd is an awesome bass!

and the shell pink lakkie!

 

[Munjibunga]

The top one is a Sadowsky 25th Anniversary Modern 5-24, ridiculously flamed koa on mahogany with ebony board.

The Lakland is Cadillac pink, and is the only Lakland that color.

Here's my toss in from the MusicMan crowd. My Carbon Blue Pearl HH SR5.

The MusicMan crowd accepts! Although a change in PG (black ice anyone?) might be necessary.

I took some new pics of my bass the other day, so here they are:

 

[MasterBass!]

Quite beautimus !!

 

[engage757]

nice guys!

 

[Johnny Mac]

Okay, I'll take the challenge. I'll put up my Marchlewski 5 string.

What is that fretboard made of?

Love the bass.

 

[fullrangebass]

I'd like to add couple of pictures of some fine basses

unfortunately, I do not own this bass any longer. I sure miss it

 

[MIJ-VI]

Good point. That or Brad Johnson's cherry red Brubaker. I'll see if I can find pics of both.

Here's the Rasta-bass

And here's Brad's cherry red burst Brubaker. I don't even like single cut basses, but this one is killer.....

This! ^ ​

Love the bass.

Birdseye maple

I'm biased but this is it. The pic does not do it justice but my smile does!

That's a BEAUTIFUL bass, Tom.

Bass building, owning and playing is not a competition. For each and every one that's posted there are many others that are the instruments of someone's dreams.

I think we're all honored to live in a time when its possible to build and own such incredible instruments and that we can have the honor to own them.

Really, we should be congratulating the guys who spend the time and effort to build these and have the creativity to envision them for us.

Now if I can just figure a way to fund the candy apple tangerine and chrome fretless I'd like to have my favorite luthier set his hand to...

Here is my competition for Tom's heh

I'll add mine for the "mere mortal" category.

I LOVE the pickguard that is on it.
