Coolest jazz basses ever?

[learning_towalk]

Not coolest ever...but I dig my two

I've actually been thinking about selling this one, but just haven't brought myself to do it yet...don't know if I will. Dolan Ultra Jazz, Dimazario pups, Audere Preamp, custom paintjob by Shelly at Nashville Custom Fretted Instruments

My modded el' cheapo SX (in the background of pic #2)will go to the grave with me. Best playing bass I've ever owned. (Delano Pups, rothstein wiring with series/par pull pot, top loader high mass bridge, hipshot ultra lights) plays like absolute butta'

I can't believe the thread got this far with only one reference to the *ultimate* cool jazz bass;

That patchwork Sandberg gets my vote for coolest.

I miss this custom JB-2

IMO, these (I've always been partial to block/bound bursts):

Once, I will own one similar to those. Late 60's style, blocks, binding, 60's PU positioning, chrome covers. It will have old Rotosound strings, and it shall be glorious.

Yes, D&B is the best ever!!! My old 1966 Charcoal Frost matcher makes the top of the list for me (sold it a few months ago)..

18 pages and not one single Black/Black/Rosewood bass! Well, I'll submit mine for judgement, but I love her to death.

 

[Calaverasgrande]

Everytime I see one on CL it's always the wrong color. Why cant a black one ever come up! I love that bass!

(And I said no more black basses Calaveras...oh well)
