Most Elegant Bass That You've Seen?

[ShawnG]

I’m a simple man, with simple tastes and am lucky enough to own this. Love it.

I do think the Marleaux Diva and Sandberg Thinline are really cool. If I were looking for something unique, that’d be the direction I’d go.

Holly is such a clean look.
Buckeye Burl is a show stopper.

This is not my bass and in fact I have never seen it in person but, I think it is simple and elegant.

Not a five string player, not a fretless fan, but my lord, what an elegant tasteful View attachment 4219091 instrument.

I used to own one just like that! They're great basses. KL used to have a huge following on this site...now not so much. But he's still building plenty of James Hetfield Explorer Guitars with ridiculous inlays.

Thanks. Nice to see someone else appreciates my Ken Lawrence. Last month was the 8 year anniversary of owning this bass. My reaction was the same as yours when I first saw it. So I bought it.

I hate their feel and have had dissatisfaction with their quality control in several I’ve owned, but a 4003 in SnowGlo is on my wish list simply due to looks.

My old Nordstrand SC5 is the most elegant bass I’ve ever seen...

The Dano DC Bass in Silver Sparkle.

I once played two Alembic Series 2(4 and 5 string).
Also I played a couple of Marleaux basses at the London Bass Show.

Elegant ≠ gaudy

If you mean some folks here are confusing the two then I agree
