Fantasy Time- Design Your Signature bass!

[Rick_no7]

I would do like Geddy did and make a high quality bass but cheap enough for the average player(at least used to be).

I'd get Warwick to do a ash bodied, maple topped thumb in their Korean factory where they do the corvette standards now.

 

[Tommygunn]

Mine would look just like this - but since I own it already, I guess I don't need a signature line !

Holly ****!!!

Hey I'm fifteen too! Oh...no....wait a minute......Thats right I'm 30. Oh well?!? Anyways I just switched to upright and I also recently discovered fretless electric. I love them all but none of them is the sound in my head. My best guess at how to achieve that sound would be a veillette archtop 5 string bass with one magnetic and one piezo. Are you ready for the signature part? I want a 38 inch scale, unlined but with side position dots. I also want the neck to gradually increase in thickness simular to an uprights because I believe this is the key to playing without looking at your hands, and I want to modify the "horn" to help balance this behemoth with a strap. The thing that sucks is someday I'm gonna spend a LOT of money finding out if this is really what I want cause I can't go play one and I won't know for sure until I try.

one of these days i will build it

and please excuse the crappy ms paint work

 

[Hamerguy]

These are designs that I had in mind for Hamer or Gibson, though I don't think these will become reality the way I designed them...

 

[nutso42]

^ I love the one all the way on the left, and the one all the way on the right!


If you ever get a sig line, I'll definitely check it out (assuming the price tag is under $800 or so)

 

[coreyfyfe]

I think about this sometimes, but I think it would just be a recreation of this bass...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

...so I'm not sure it would be worth it. Although, I've kind of got a hankering for a semi-hollow jazz with an f-hole. Hmm....
