[Trouztrouz]

I'm not generally drawn to signature instruments but the sterling joe dart is amazing

Love the look of the Joe dart 1

Just 1 (large) volume control, so alpha hetro! Cool AF!

Unfortunately for me, the 'made in Indonesia' is a hard no

 

[Docduval]

No, the price increase on those is not worth it.

 

[Prodigus Filius]

No. Like having a tat of your partner’s name. If things go sour…..

 

[bobba66]

Tony Franklin fretted Precision. Yum.

 

[cataract]

Nate Mendel P is one of the best feeling and looking Ps out there IMO
JMJ Mustang is pretty rad too
I’m kinda done with Fender Shaped Objects though so I kinda get it but some things are best kept to yourself I guess

 

[pfschim]

[neil|lien]

I'd love a JMJ Mustang and a Reverend Fellowship Ndegeocello signature bass in satin black... but because of how they look and sound, not because they are signature basses!

 

[Ajsweet]

Yes…

Victor Bailey Jazz Bass… amazing i
Victor Wooten Monarch Fodera .. amazing instrument.
USA Lakland Bob Glaub… amazing basses
USA Lakland Joe Osborn Jazz Bass…amazing basses

Don't wanna poopie on ya parade, but ...

"Plays like a $1k bass"



I still think signature instruments are over hyped, and overpriced.

It's like, do I do a tour, or release a signature instrument (and sit on my ass)

 

[andare]

Never. It's like wearing underwear with another person's name on it.
The worst offender is the Sting SCPB with his name in the 12th fret inlay.

 

[Les Fret]

I am not going to say no to a Stanley Clarke signature Alembic….

 

[gr8avocado]

If it has their name, icon or whatever on the fretboard no. Otherwise, if it has the looks, specs, sound I'm looking for I really don't care whose name is on it.

 

[Basvarken]

The Les Paul has been quite successful...

 

[learning_towalk]

Roscoe Beck 5 is still one of the best basses I’ve ever played. Don’t care whose name is on it…but man is it a great bass.
