Favorite bass designs. Strictly visual aesthetics.

[Bar Band Bassman]

Here's some basses I love the look of. Many I have been fortunate to own at some point. Let's avoid classics: Precision, Jazz, Ric 4001/3, SG-style Gibsons, Thunderbirds.

Alembic Triple Omega. BC Rich Mockingbird (deep or medium cutaway, not shallow, and Moser electronics). Wal Mk II. Eastwood Backlund Rockerbox. Ampeg Scroll. Marleaux Diva. Marleaux Contra. Show me yours!

Tune TS-365....

That looks great, but I'd really like to see a headless version.

How could I forget? That's top of my bucket list! Sooooo jealous!

I don't actually own one. Yet. Bought one on Reverb but the idiot seller sold it out from under me to someone local (and for a lot less, too). Sigh.

I have made an egregious oversight! How could I forget this, the bass that I've owned longer than any other? My beloved Kubicki, bought new 40 years ago. Built Nov 1985! Happy 40th, old friend!

Yes! I actually have one listed at Luthier's Access Group. Not the Lightwave version, though.

I unironically love these Bacci designs.

I dream of owning one.

I have the same bass. Tune Maurizio Roll Signature. 6 strings, fretless lined with magnetic and piezo pickup.
It sounds great. Hollow body . Maurizio is nowadays endorsed by Mayones Guitars. A great musician talented. You should listen to his music.

Sei Flamboyant headless.
Not mine, just one I found gooooogling. I saw one in the flesh many years ago, and was wowed.

I LOVED how this looked. But didn’t love or even like how it played.

I like this design so much, I got 15 of them, 21" scale bass uke/mini bass guitar. Plus I have them modified and finished to my specs, and because they're configured exactly the same way, it makes them look different from each other.
