While the exotic wood type basses and the many Fender clones have caught my eye over the years, I keep coming back to this one, a classic wrapped in black with a unique timeless design. The first time I saw Geddy take the stage with one I was hooked for life. This one just turned thirty five y/o.

I agree 100% with the every Nordstrand and Nordy bass made.

The Fodera is not mine but it is the only Fodera I've wanted since the day I first saw it. I hope the owner doesn't mind me posting it, I think he's a TB'er.

I have to put up a Bordwell bass as I think they're in an elite category with Nordy. This spalted sycamore beauty belongs to Chris Wood of MMW.
Cheers,

I've always liked this JD. I'm not an ERB enthusiast, but this bass just floats my boat. I've been drooling over it the past 5 or 6 years

This beautiful Benevente SC4 I consider to be the most beautiful bass I've ever seen that I'd actually play.

These are my two votes but there are a host of other sweet a** basses out there. I dig em all from that Ritter with the blue strings and exotic tuning system to that P with the DS. Good to see lots of diversity on this thread.
