If you could have only one bass...

[ButtUglyJeff]

Lakland Decade FTW!!

Great choice. I'm dying to try one of these myself...

 

[Tampabass]

I've become a Lakland convert, so ... if/when I could afford one, I'd say a 44-94 (or 55-94 if I could ever get comfortable with 5s).

 

[RickenBoogie]

It would suck to only have one, though back in my gigging days, I only ever owned one at a time, but of the 3 I own now, my Ric 4004Cii, (see avatar) would be the one.

 

[Disco Batman]

I wouldn't care what it was if it was the only one I could have. As long as I had a bass.

Other than that I'd say my Geddy, since it's all that I have till my Bongo arrives tomorrow.

 

[kesslari]

I don't have to live in that world anymore, so I don't.

 

[xXxTWO FACExXx]

Easy my Gibson Ripper

Again, great bass sound, and great playing.

This fellow Rob Allen really can build instruments, can't he?

A friend of mine has a sort of 8-string instrument, half fretted guitar, half fretless bass, and it sounds amazing.

You must be talking about this one - you've actually played it? That is pretty much the "one instrument" choice for those of us that double

That is flat out sexy. Damn!

My dream would be a P 5 string...

 

[Peer75RI]

Easy, that would be my JagBird

That's the one. I haven't played it myself... yet

Mid 60s P-Bass, sunburst through an Ampeg SVT & 8x10. MMM Good....

 

[TechJunky]

I've always maintained that if I ever got a Warwick Streamer Stage II, it would be the last bass I'd ever need. It's definitely the one bass I could be happy with if I didn't have anything else.

A Chapman stick!

 

[rabid_fish]

i know she isn't perfect and that she has some limitations, but this ****in bass is massively beautiful!!!!

you're not mine... and probably never will... but i just can't stop loving you! (sorry ray charles)

 

[martybernal]

There is no instrument that has beaten or will ever beat my gorgeous, amazing playing ánd amazing sounding Fender Jazz Bass from 1966.

Wow...nice...really nice...a treasure...

 

[baileyboy]

Jazz.

Atelier Z M265

 

[geezerjpj]
