Ok you have $2,000 to spend...

[countrybass5]

What bass would you buy...model,color,etc.?

 

[zachoff]

I would buy a late 70s Yamaha BB1000 tobacco burst or BB800 black and pocket the $1500 or $1600 I'd have left over.

 

[Burwabit]

Since I already have a used Sadowsky Metro, I'll go with an AVRI 63 P in Sonic Blue.

 

[SteveC]

Another Roscoe probably...

 

[TrustRod]

I would buy 2 used 5 strings. 1 a Jazz style and one a MM style. I'd do a bit of modding, Hipshot ultralites, P pickup on the MM. Then deposit $1200 in my ROTH.

 

[Bassist Jay]

A used Sadowsky Metro or another one I am really wanting bad and have since they were released is a Fender Select Precision bass. I don't know if $2k would buy one or not but if possible, I would love a used Nordstrand bass. I have told Carey Nordstrand that if he decides to build basses again to add me to the list. I love the pickups he builds and use them exclusively in my guitars and basses but have wanted a Nordstrand bass for years!

 

[Clipped]

MM Cutlass. Red (because color matters).

 

[countrybass5]

I am surprised no one said Fender.

 

[countrybass5]

Another Roscoe probably...

I would love to try a Roscoe...

 

[Rumbledore]

nothing on my list is that cheap

 

[HELLonWHEELS]

Warwick NT 5

Best value would be a vintage Fender P or J. I think 2 grand can get you something from the 70s.

 

[bonin in the boneyard]

G&L Kiloton 4 (lefty!) in clear red over spalted maple over swamp ash, 3-ply black pick guard, maple fingerboard with black blocks and no binding, vintage tint satin, 1 5/8" nut, 12" radius. To match her sister:

I'd put the $400 left over towards a sweet tube preamp.

That was easy. Now ask me about amps!

 

[reddog]

MIJ Jazz for $600
Fender Jazz JB62 62 Vintage Reissue Jazz Bass CIJ 1999-2002 Three Tone Sunburst

 

[Nev375]

A bunch of Warmoth parts most likely. Something in purpleheart and maple I suspect depending what's available.

 

[ELG60]

I'd much rather spend it on more speaker cabinets.

 

[Bass V]

a Tokai Talbot is highest on my GAS list, as are a Torzal Twist and the Gibson EB-1 violin
the Talbot leaves room for more Peavey Zodiac BXPs, a few select Harley Bensons and old Roadstar IIs
in time they will all be had... LOL if I'm graced with the time!

 

[Wulfensteiner]

I'd put it towards the Burns Bison I drool over every time I walk into my local 'swop shop'

 

[Spent]

I'll need the cash first. PM it to me and I'll create a NBD so you can see the bass. Thanks in advance.

[gln1955]

Probably order another Maruszczyk to compliment the one I have. Probably an active 5-string Elwood (J style).
