I need a second "main player" bass.
- Thread starter two fingers
- Start date
I voted G&L, but more importantly, I suggest a classic looking bass, possibly a 4 string - and importantly for church and rock stages alike - get a white one. With a matching headstock if it looks at all correct on that particular bass.
Shows up great on stage. Is bright and respectful to the church vibe on Sunday mornings. And everything in between.

MY opinion...
Resist headless or fanned fret or otherwise too far from classic/conventional, unless you're happy to just enjoy the novelty for a while then let it hang on the wall, or sell it and lose money.

Ah yes, but your friends are here to help and support you with making good decisionsI played with that thing into the night last night. I'm supposed to attempt a 315 pound squat at the gym today and was supposed to be getting some rest. But nooooooooo..... Some dang bass brand I can't even pronounce had me kunfigeraytn!
I thought you were just gonna click the “purple easy button” and have that beautiful purple quilted top show up at your door in a couple of days. I didn’t realize the Maruszczyk’s were still in play, but maybe this lesson in Polish will help you out, or at least make you chuckle.
That’s silly, I’ve been playing Headless for over 20 years and neither are further from the truth. Never lost money on reselling one of my headless and certainly isn’t a novelty… I play them everyday and gig them. Not for everyone, but wouldn’t dismiss it based on someone else’s opinion.MY opinion...

Fanned frets are not for everyone either, but you don’t see Dingwall’s losing value ever… They are in such high demand.

One of my buds just introduced me to these... a little pricey, for my taste.
"Baum crafts custom instruments in our own workshop in Aarhus, Denmark. The Original Series and VEGA Series complement the Danish-made guitars and basses by offering more accessible and approachable Baum instruments designed in the Danish Custom Shop and crafted in South Korea and Indonesia."
I love the looks of this one...
The "Original" series; where one partner wanted to make a Fender Jaguar, the other partner wanted to make a Guild B-301, and the third partner wanted to make a Rickenbacker 4001.
These do look quite interesting though, and I'm intrigued to hear one.
Bwawaahaha! The Original Mutt!
I believe these, and the other series, are made in South Korea/Indonesia. If they were a third of their listed sale price, I'd buy it, sight unseen.
At $1600, yes... try, before you buy.
