[bholder]

Bought it 10 years ago, built to my spec. Never looked back.

These 2 Zon Legacy Elite 6 strings are my dream basses:

Those would be good dreams!

Dream bass? Changes daily.

This is todays;

Another post from you tomorrow??

My dream bass plays good, sounds good and looks good. I've got several, I'm good!

 

[nonohmic]

Hi just made my first payment for one of his basses!!! A short scale RHO

Nice! I've been looking at the Rho too; although without the detuner. How much was the deposit?

 

[CletusMarley]

I'm really easy to please. I'd love a nice USA Stingray. I wish I was playing bass back when I had money. I have all my dream 6 strings.

 

[Killing Floor]

Although I would love a 66-ish P I feel like it would hang on a hook and that’s not doing it justice.
I have serious bass lust for Ferner Fine Instruments out of Memphis. I’m to the point of wanting to travel there so I can feel one. I stare at his basses and guitars all the time online. Made by hand. One at a time. Beautiful.

I've always wanted a Ric. After everything I've seen over the years about their QC, I doubt I'll ever get one, unless I can get someone else to build it for me! Other than that, I want all the basses in lots of different colors. With a few exceptions.

Already have a few, but if I had to pick something I don't have...

For all those "Matching headstocks don't look good with maple fretboards" people out there.
Does this change you mind?

It does indeed—and I’m not even a huge Ray fan

Fretless 1980s Wal Mk 1

The dream bases I actually own are this 62 PBass

And FBass VF5J

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Already own 'em both: vintage 1962 Fender Jazz slab board, US Lākland 4460 (Joe Osborn).

 

[DrThumpenstein]

Dream bass for a few years, dream came true in January this year when I found a perfect used one here on TB. Sounds as good as it looks and it’s gorgeous to my eye.

Nice looking bass, but... no. No, it doesn't. I like my Pearl White Carvin LB-20 with matching headstock, but... it's the ebony fretboard between the headstock and the body that makes it look special...

^^THIS^^ pretty much. There are a few basses I would like to have, but most of them 1) were never made as a lefty; 2) are available as a lefty, but are stupid expensive; or 3) the few leftys ever made are rarer than an honest politician - and really stupid expensive. So, I'll just have to be happy with the ones that I have...

Mine is Rickenbacker 4001 '75

Last night, I dreamt about hanging with Joe Dart and playing his bass. That was a cool one.

To the point, I want a 6 string Smith bass, but not sure which... one of these days.

My dream bass for a while was a StingRay and I finally got one maybe 5 years ago. I have since moved to the StingRay Special and have acquired a few of them in different colours and configurations.

I did sell the green one in the front to a fellow TB member. I also traded the natural one with the white pickup for the following SR5 Special:

 

[stelles75]

I just remembered as I was putting this $11 purple pickguard on my Adam Clayton special...

I want the purple/pink sparkle edition of this or the P bass so dang bad and I've been obsessed with sparkle finishes ever since I saw it. Ain't nobody paying ebay prices for it, though, so I settled for Sherwood Green.

/sigh

 

[jam.majors]

I love matching headstocks! I have the sherwood green Adam Clayton Jazz and it's sweet as hell. Also, I love them sparkles and that white/grey gradient finish on that last one.

I have all my dream basses now, for the most part. Oddly, I've been drooling over a Yamaha... This one...

I probably will need a Peter Hook bass, and also a Simon Gallup bass.

I had a 434 and loved it. A production problem made me send it back, and now I have a 735a that makes me so happy. You should definitely get one!

 

[vinlander]

Mine would be a 60's Rick 4001 or 4003 even if I never played one and maybe I would not even like the way it feels...
Mainly because my favorite bass tones are from specific progressive rock bands like Yes, Exit Stage Left Rush era, Gabriel Era Genesis, Anglagaard (ok its '90s but still)

 

[Smith357]

Nuttin' fancy, just a standard Fender P. Since I already have one, I can concentrate on learning how to play it.

You evil man. After completely ramming my credit card with a new Rev and forever cab in the last week or so, I'm gonna have to wait on this one. I love the look of this matte black one and seems like it would be a great gigger.

What was the production issue?
