The Discontinued Basses Thread

[Slaine01]

Got this back in the late 70's -never seen a "Carlos" ever again.
Funny....Pino Palladino's signature Fender looks kinda similar..... (I wish!!!!)

The Rickenbacker 4003s5.

The discontinued color montezuma brown on Rickenbackers.

How are the B's and G's on these two?

 

[Count Bassie]

I gotta save up.

I do not think that Fender Produces the Mexican 5 String standard anymore. Even if they do, they don't offer them in Midnight Blue anymore.

 

[ciudadmarron]

They don't make Jazz Bass Specials anymore but i just put that in the oddball thread.

But they don't make the FTM deluxe models anymore either.

I have an '04 Warwick Corvette Standard Fretless that is discontinued. They still manufacture the fretted version; but not the fretless.

I played a wick just like that at guitar center, one of the best fretless basses I've ever played. Wish they'd make more

I dunno. Somehow, models that have undergone small refinements, tweaks, what-have-you, and are no longer produced under the same name but have the same shape, etc... somehow that doesn't seem quite the same as something that's just plain not being made anymore.

You know- 'discontinued'.

Am I off-base here, not in the spirit of the thread?

Edit: Maybe I'm looking for a thread called "Utterly Discontinued Basses"...

All the posters you are talking bout needed to do was to have a look at the OP.

Just finished restoring this 83 O'Hagan Nightwatch Special today as a matter of fact. It was my fathers and will be my sons when I have one if I have to strap him to a chair till he learns to play it.
