If Batman played bass.. what would he play?

[bongostealth]

What bass do you all think Batman would play?

Also, what bass (if different) would he play as Bruce Wayne?

I'm thinking that he would play something black with high output as Batman, and something high-end and classy as Bruce Wayne. (Warwick, maybe?)

Let your imaginations and humor run wild! I am NOT easily offended.. unless you poke fun at Squishy, my 3-legged pet porcupine.

Pictures are always welcome!

I'd have to think Batman wouldn't play the Warwick Vampyre...I think he'd have more imagination than that, so:

Because it's a simple, no nonsense bass.

As for Bruce Wayne:

 

[zontar]

Batman would play a Hallmark Wing Bat Bass
Bruce Wayne would play an expensive boutique bass
I know the Wing Bat is a guitar, but he's get a bass version made--because, He's Batman.

Fretless jazz bass:

bruce wayne would play this bass:

 

[Torrente Cro]

This looks more like Harry Potters bas to me

 

[chris_b]

Batman is definitely a P bass player.

A P bass, because he has not got time to fiddle around with bass controls while beating bad guys unconscious. Would probably have some sort of non lethal weapon in it too.

Then as Bruce Wayne, thinking a Wal bass for some reason.

Bruce would play a URB...and only while wearing a tux.

I'm with JD56Hawk regarding batman. Unfortunately, the new armored-hummer driving hard-core batman would probably play something minimalist like the steinberger.

On the other hand, Bruce Wayne wouldn't play any bass, but he'd have a display room full of Foderas, Carl Thompsons, and every other boutique hand-made instrument as well. He'd probably have a Maggini doublebass too just for the investment.

Bat Girl is lookin' mighty fine. drool

 

[Immigrant]

He'd play whatever he damn well felt like cuz the dude obviously has unresolved anger issues and a touch of PTSD caused by seeing his folks croaked. And if you don't like it, he'll leave you hanging upside down or something.

C'mon Batman. Zoloft, Paxil, whatever. Help is out there.

 

[murphy]

A Bat bass of course

A Bat bass of course

Of course he would. And here I was beginning to think this was a trick question.

It may look a lot like a Warwick Vampyre though. Just sayin...

 

[Mvilmany]

Batman would play a P Bass.

Logic: everyone plays a P Bass.

With a Tort pickguaurd, of course.

Little known fact: Batman played on most Motown singles, all Beach Boys hits, and is the bassist for Rush.

 

[Bajo Clarkko]

As Bruce Wayne, he'd probably play conservative looking P Bass, Sunburst or black, with Tort. As Batman, I'm thinking, a Black B. C. Rich. With a secret compartment for his Batpicks, of course.

 

[GBassNorth]

He lives in Gotham City so I think he'd play one of these...

Epiphone Goth Thunderbird-IV

 

[Smoove-Groove]

 

[AndreasR]

He'd build himself a Bat Bass.

All black.

Active pre-amp because Batman doesn't do passive.

Batman needs only four strings.
