If you could have TWO and ONLY TWO basses..

[modulusbassist]

My Elrick Jazz bass and anything with a graphite or carbon fiber neck, a modulus Quantum 5 or a status S-2 Classic.

 

[Kraken]

Actually I've Changed My Mind, (Unfortunatley I already voted for the MM

I'd Rather have a WAL bass that way with me and the Bass I can say the Whole package is made in High Wycombe UK!!!

And I'd Keep the Rickenbacker as well

 

[searchofdignity]

Why settle for Alembics cheapo line, if you're only gonna have 2 basses?

 

[feckn_eejit]

Here's what I'd buy, in this order, should I somehow come across silly amounts of money...

1. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

2. Fretless Wal Mach I with padauk facings, gold hardware, and an unlined ebony fingerboard. Like this one, only right handed, and no lines on the fingerboard.

3. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], with a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Already have the bass, just need the bridge...

4. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] with Lindy Fralin pickups, since they sound even more vintage than the pickups the bass comes with and will probably come closer to producing the bottom end Geddy gets with his Jazz.

5. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

6. Five string Wal Mach III with quilted maple facings and a maple fingerboard, stained candy apple red, like this one, only right handed and five string.

7. Rickenbacker 4003/S8 eight string like [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] one, only I'd want midnight blue, like the color on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] this bass.

 

[DeepBlueBass]

#1 My new Cirrus 6, gotta be the number one...

and

#2 "Deep Blue" my trusty 4 sting, the first one I ever owned, it's taken me to the limits and back, and I wouldn't show to a gig if I didn't have it ready to back me up like a father.

 

[searchofdignity]

well if you put it in that form ill take 2 orion 5's. A bad ass bass also

 

[Mike N]

Id take two MIA P's.

 

[Gunnar Þór]

#1 - 4003 Rickenbacker

#2 - Reverend Rumblefish XL

 

[311fan2001]

1)Warwick FNA Jazzman 5-String
2)Warwick Chocolate 5-String(P-Nut Singature Bass)

 

[alembicbones]

1. Alembic Series II 5 string (I'm muddling by with a Europa).

2. Stingray 5 Fretless.

If you'll let me, I'll bring along my Am Jazz 5 deluxe.

Bones

 

[Dave Metts]

1. Sadowsky 24-fret 5-string
2. Zon 6-string Sonus Custom with piezo (fretless)

mmmm

 

[Raymondn1]

Currently I just have one bass, except for my double bass. My dream rig would be:
- Keeping my precious 74' Jazzbass, and adding up with an old fretless jazz bass. (kinda Jaco? ).
-To me, the Jazzbass is like 10 basses in one ! I've tried Warwicks and Tobiases and MusicMen and so on, 4,5 and 6-strings, and I found all of them quite amusing, but I always end up with the jazzbass! -It's so flexible and sounds unique whether I play Hardcore thrash-funk, or smooth 80's fusion style. And who needs a 2.000$ thing from Modulus to get the Flea-sound? -Just put new strings on your JB and you're ready to rock !! I just want a fretless real bad !! -Anyone tried out the new Jaco Pastorius 'Relic - bass?

-Well, don't throw your J-Bass, I'll take it off your hands for nothing !! - I've tried Alembic's, and to me they're not even remotely in family with my J-bass... Tonewise, lookwise, playabilitywise, anywise... - Fender Jazzbass RULES !
(-If they're older than 1980's that is...)

why settle for that when you can get fodera to hand-build you one in 3 weeks?

 

[ZoomBoy]

For me it would be my Wal Mach III 5 string and my Lakland 4-94 Deluxe. Those are my 2 favorites!

I don't understand...........you have a poll with loads of specialist bass makes, and not Overwater, and Sei Bass. I must be a bit weird but you don't get better than these:

1)Overwater custom 5 fretted

2)Sei Bass custom 6 fretless

badda bing!!

[j.s.basuki]

1st is any Sadowsky
2nd is any Sadowsky

now I have 3 Sadowsky, I stillhave GAS for the 4th and already talking to Roger about it. Should I stop the urge

 

[allan grossman]

I think my #1 would also be a Sadowski - but my #2 would be another Lakland. The 55-94 I have now cured my GAS - until I played a Sadowski for the first time a week or so ago.
