Hmmm...What bass to go to from here?

Precision, Jazz, Stingray/Sterling... seems to me the next logical choice is Rickenbacker.

 

How about a fretless?

 

I sold my Ric because I just didn't care for the tone or the feel. I'd build a custom P or J w/ a Dark Star pup. That's my next bass.

 

i really dont think you need any more basses

shoot, i've been playing one bass and it's worked for me everywhere

 

G&L?

 

I'd say StingRay.

 

SX?... maybe mod it cool... something you don't care about dents with

 

well you've covered your basic 3 basses with their respective tones.

now its time to move on to some high end basses ala MTD usa, Ritter, Alembic.

they all have their own sound.

You could never go wrong with a US built MTD

 

not many people will suggest steinberger cos come on... its not the 80s anymore (don't flame me, i'm just making a funny).

if you really want a cool road to go down tone wise have you thought about an acoustic bass?

 

I would say an active modern bass. Something along the lines of an Schecter, Ibanez, Alembic, Modulus, Pedulla, Tobias.

 

go for a hollowbody,

I really like the Lakland hollowbody...

 

I'd say something modern, hifi, etc. etc. MTD would be a good way to go, so would Tobias (say what you will about pre/post Gibson, I think even the post Gibson ones feel and sound fantastic), if you want super high end go Alembic or Ritter. Look at some store that has higher end basses in stock, Bass Central, Bass NW, something. Try some out and see what you like.

 

The Epi Jack Casady. Gorgeous bass, not overpriced, and will give you something different from anything you own.

 

Warwick could be a nice choice too for something modern and wayy cheaper than MTD or Tobias
