If you won the lottery

[Shy Guy]

Recently been leaning towards-
-Alembic brown bass just so I can have a short scale Alembic, of course packed with fixings except LEDs (not a fan)
-Somehow get Carl Thompson to make a 31 scale claw (crazy upper horn) rainbow bass made out of only dark woods and light ones (i.e cocobolo, wenge, maple, alder)
-One of those carbon fiber acoustics or any of those crazy acoustics

If I won the lottery I'd go back to being a full time working musician until the money ran out.

1989 MIJ Fender Jazz Special Fretless (how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black)

Hamer 12 String

Another 2008 Fender American Standard P Bass (charcoal frost/maple neck) and have it defreted.

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but what the heck, I'm gonna ask again im intrigued

If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 bass guitars you would buy?

I'll go first, in no particular order:

Spector - Rex 4 (Holoflash)
Wal - Mk 2b (Natural Finish)
EB MM - Bongo 4 string (Sterling Silver, black pg)

I'd have built three.
Two exactly like the one I use now, one fretted and one fretless.
and maybe the same in headless...
I'd also have an acoustic one made in the same shape.
Very simply no frills instruments and in no way fancy.

sorry that's 5

• Dingwall Prima Artist or Lee Sklar Signature
• Something from Ken Smith
• Fender Victor Bailey 4-String Fretless Jazz Bass

stingray 5 string
5 string Ric
Ibanez sr prestige 5 string

 

[sarcastro83]

Ovation Magnum
70's Gibson T-Bird
Gibson Victory
Gibson EB1
Gibson EB3
and I'd probably go absolutely nuts at Warmoth, Allparts and the like assembling something special.

 

[HaMMerHeD]

Ibanez SR5006E
Carvin Icon IC5W 5-string fretless Claro Walnut

Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest

[bassplayer7770]

Yamaha BB2025x because I love my BB3000MA so much
Some kind of fancy schmancy Skjold
Honestly, beyond those two basses, I'd be more likely to go with a Mesa M9 Carbine

Okay, instead of the M9 Carbine, maybe I could just add a Carvin SB5000 to my list since it's actually a bass...

 

[TheRockinRoadie]

ooo Hard one, but i think i would have to go for:

Warwick Stuart Zender (i played on at LIMS and thought it felt and sounded amazing)
A Stingray of somekind
A 1964 Jazz (played one in a shop once, was phenominal!)

 

[eyeballkid]

A Stingray SLO 4HH black on black with Rosewood
an Electric Amps Volume unit in black with MONKE on the nameplate.
an Ashdown BTA 400 with an Ashdown US 610

 

[48thStreetCustom]

I'd just go on a shopping spree at Gruhn Guitars. Right now they're selling Buddy Holly's amp

 

[kjpollo]

The FIRST 3 I'd get:
Clement custom 5er
Clement Custom 4-fretless
the best condition pre-EB Sting Ray I can find, hopefully 3TS, black PG, maple neck.

After that, who knows?? Depends on whats left after I have to waste some of it on student loans, mortgage, etc- you know, the so-called "necessities"!
