I have always LOVED the look of this bass....very, very nice.

I'm just digging the milk-chocolate-and-raspberry elegance of this old Tobias.
There is just so much right with this...

I also think fbasses with block inlays and some top are pretty elegant:

What do you think?

That looks like it would taste really nice.

Elegance fail

I really hate the "fail joke" trend, but this one got me, hahaha.

I think there is a lack of foderas in this thread, so here goes one that looks pretty elegant for my taste:

I give a thumbs up for the Bongo, not nice but definately sophisticated as it is.

Cool, but big elegance fail if you ask me.

An old favorite - Fleishmann's fanned-fret Scroll bass:

Im voting in Mr.Majestic's super ashy stunning Callowhill 5.

Agreed thats a real stunner, and I love it, but in all fairness to the term "elegant", the graffiti-esque headstock logo sort of doesn't fit.

A tortise pickguard on a 3 tone sunburst Precision with a rosewood neck is an elegant bass in my book. Mr. Jamerson sure looked (and certainly sounded) good playing one

A tortise pickguard on a Fiesta Red Precision with a rosewood neck is dead sexy in my book as well

I'd be scared to play some of the works of art you guys are posting. They are beautiful, but man I'd be so scared I'd ding or scratch

How in the WORLD do you decide which to play? You do realized how fortunate you are, right?

 

[IbanezATK]

This brings to mind something really cool about this forum... there are guys like me playing an Ibanez ATK and buying bits and pieces every paycheck to piece together our "dream basses" and other guys that have basses that cost more than the cars guys like me drive.

Music is our common denominator, it crosses all barriers, economic and otherwise.

This has me spellbound by the way. This is an absolute work of art and reminds me that mother nature is amazing. Just beautiful!

I would be terrified to play it, but my god that is beautiful! I can almost feel that gorgeous neck in my hand!

Jesus man. How do you even begin to choose on which to play? Those are beautiful. I love the Deluxe J. Defiantly elegant in my book : ]

Brad's Brubaker's=pure elegance......I REALLY need to take one of those for a test run someday.

I've been lazy as hell lately, but here's the Stambaugh I snagged this summer. Very amazing overall, the Pope Pre sounds great, and it wasn't that expensive!

wow...that's a killer looking Stambaugh.
Looks like Victor Wooten's fodera with tremolo..
