RADICALLY DIFFERENT sounding basses

[Tom Howland]

Gibson EBO
Gibson Ripper
Danelectro or Jerry Jones
Alembic
G&L

 

[Espidog]

Burns Bison - a real growler!
Three pickups, lotsa switching options...and hey, you've just got to try out a bass that has a setting called "Wild Dog", haven't you?

I think warwicks sound distinct, but on that note I tihnk all of their basses kind of sound similiar. I tihnk stingrays sound unique, as do sterlings/sr5 in the same right. Jazz basses havea unique tone, but that is not unique to Fender; other brand jazz basses, ala sadowsky, can get that tone. A precision I feel is less unique.
