Methinks some folks have crossed "classic" and "classy" up in their minds!

I agree, the older Fenders and Rics are "classic" and somewhat "classy", but there are plenty of newer, "boutique" basses that are VERY classy looking. Here's my submission, albeit a somewhat prejudiced one :

This is probably the classiest bass I've ever seen.

I happen to know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that can put you into that exact bass, cheap ...........

James...you've posted these before. I've never told you how great those two basses look. You've got some nice looking basses. They are just gorgeous.

The picture deserves another post.
