If you could be endorsed by any brand...

Heineken, but if we're only talking about companies that builds basses then it would be fender.

my signature bass would be a four string fender p with:

sparkly green finish
white pickguard
chrome hardware
d-tuner
and a seymour duncan quarter pounder

lol... typical fender sig model. "Unique color scheme, white PG, d tuner and a SD pickup. And only $1500 more than a Amer. Std!!! What a unique bass!!!:spit:"

sorry man, anyways
 
Fender for me: mine would be similar to the Geddy Jazz (mid 70's RI): black or sunburst body w BAII bridge; Tort guard; EMG or Bart pups; MOP inlays instead of the black blocks on maple ala MM Jazz- and satin back of neck finish; hipshot Xtender & tuners!
 
Fender.

Jazz bass
4-string
Olympic White body
Not sure about pickguard color - maybe tort
P pickup (neck), MM-style Humbucker (bridge)
Electronics similar to Reggie Hamilton sig model (active / passive switch, etc.)
Maple neck / fretboard, white binding and M.O.P. block inlays
Drop-D tuner

Definitely...
 
Peavey. No doubt about it. Laugh all you want... but that is where I am at.

I would have a Dyna5 with a Cirrus bridge and 16.5mm spacing. It would have the old Dyna pre with Active/Passive and my pre sets on the DIP hardwired with ONLY a volume knob. It would also be neck through. Black only with black hardware. Rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard (ala TL5). Definitely the Dyna neck profile though... I would like the neck about 1-2 mm wider to give some bending room on the B and G.

That's it.

Ox.
 
general endorsement: Twinnings the tea people

bass endorsements: whoever would make me a massively powerful full range combo with lots of small speakers + whoever would make a modified ashbory exactly to my specs

cheers

well, I know I'm a snit for saying this but, since I get contacted by artists about programs, let me clarify-

The brand/company does not endorse the artist. The artist endorses the brand.

Having said that- If I were to endorse a bass company, it would be Sadowsky, MTD or Roscoe.
 
Modulus!

Q5 and a Q6, I'd have to decide on wood/finish...really like the quilted stone black but also like the nat colors...heck one of each since I'm endorsed, right?!? Barts and OBP-3. No chechen boards. Then of course an FB-5 that would have to be some sort of sparkle finish with Basslines pup and the OBP-3.

Ahhhh...butter :bassist:
 
hmmmmmm probably Fender. A P-bass with maple neck, Alder body, MM Humbucker in the middle with an active 2-band EQ... ahhh yeeeeeahhhh Lake Placid Blue and a Navy Blue Pickguard... vintage tuners... oh and a BAII bridge :D
