The bass that needs no modifications?

[WoodyG3]

My 2002 Fender American Deluxe Jazz FMT. Perfect just the way it is!

You're not gonna' do any mods to your Sadowskys either, are you?

My stingray, i wouldnt even change the pickguard on it, however i did put on straplocks.... But thats only for safety.

You must be talk'n about the :

Gibson Thunderbird - bad ass out of the box!

I cannot think of even one right now, that I would buy that I wouldn't tweak somehow...I changed the knobs on my VM Jazz and they all get straplocks.

Even the Rick I want to buy might get a different bridge....most likely not, but maybe.

I guess a custom built bass would be made t my specs so that I wouldn't change....

I agree with Mellowgerman: the Guild Starfire sounds great the way it came from the factory forty-odd years ago. I know, 'cos I had one a long time ago and effed it up with a Badass bridge and other ill-considered mods. Now I have stock one, which will remain so.

Same goes for Fenders. Most of 'em sound best left in the original state.

Oh, yeah, I did do some mods: On all my basses I unscrew the strap buttons and add a 3/4" diameter fender washer with a 1/8" hole for the screw. Sometimes I buy a longer screw, if necessary. (Hillbilly Strap-Lok - $.25-50 at your local Ace Hardware.)

I use the Grolsch straplocks. They come with free beer!

I'm in love with everything on my Spector Euro. It has an all-maple body with a nice bright green stain, active EMG's and a 2-band Aguilar preamp. Not to mention Spector's signature giant brass bridge. It also has a brass nut, which I like, and Schaller tuners. I wouldn't change a thing. It does have a scratchy pot though, but cleaning it wouldn't be considered a "mod" by any means.

They even come with Schaller Strap locks.

The only things I would ever change on mine would be the knobs and strings.

...and in any color you want as long as it is red.

I love them, and now have other's asking for them. I explain they are hard to get, as I have to go to Liquor Barn and then drink at least two bottles...

 

[John Bassist]

My old G&L needed no modification... Although I was mad about adding some extra superficials details...

Anyways, I thought Warwick Rock Basses was tough enough to make the gigs without messes on them... But I couldn't help it. They deserved to be modified

Anything Musicman. Sterling. Stingray. Bongo. They're all perfect out of the box.

 

[T-MOST]

There are tons of them. Smith, MTD, Sadoswky, Fodera even Fender come to mind right away.
