Discontinued Basses- your faves

[Eilif]

LTD Vintage 214 Fretless.

A sweet, very affordable, UNLINED P-bass clone with a very comfortable proper 1.625" P-bass neck, a nice slab of naked rosewood and a pretty good P/J set.

It's gone and there just isn't anything like it available anymore.

The one bass I always lust after but never buy, and then they discontinue it, is a MM Sabre.

Kubicki Ex Factor

A Fender Performer. I drooled over these enough to flood Delaware. The bass. The guitar no so much.

Musicman Earthwood

I think you mean Ernie Ball Earthwood. Ernie Ball produced these long before they bought Music Man.

Rickenbacker 3001. Should never have sold it.

I thought the Mark King design replaced the Rogue (although I may have been misinformed).

I think there are a few different Mark King models, but all of them are Signature Series basses largely based on the Series II template. Which is substantially upmarket from the Rogue if memory serves.

Fender Roscoe Beck. My next bass will basically copy that passive setup.

Fender Prophecy. I had a Prophecy 1 that I bought used back in the late 90's. Wish I still had it!

Schecter 004. My black 004 is my favorite bass that I have ever owned! I will never part with it!
If I find another one like it I'm going to buy it as a backup.

 

[Dec1975]

The Daion Powermark XX-B. I owned a green one for 20+ years, then foolishly sold it because I don't play 4-strings any more. Some of the best Made-in-Japan basses of the late 70's, early 80's.

 

[CenTexThumper]

Peavey TL-Five. I just made an offer on a second one on Ebay. I've played mine since 1995 in Country, Blues and Rock bands. No doubt the most versatile bass I've ever played.

Fender Roscoe Beck, 5-er. Never made one left-handed though....

I think you mean Ernie Ball Earthwood. Ernie Ball produced these long before they bought Music Man.

Kubicki Ex Factor

Kubicki lives!

Fender US Precision Deluxe 4 & 5 string with the humbucker in the bridge ('95-'09 I think). Best playing and sounding Fenders I've ever picked up to this day. You can still find the 4's here and there but their value has gone way up in the past few years. The 5's are nearly impossible to find now. Dammit, Fender...

The old style American Deluxe basses were quite nice.
