poll time!

Questionable concept. Are there any basses that are silent in operation and have built-in flower vases? I thought not.

 

[thewildest]

What can I say... I don't know about a Rolls Royce as it gives me the vibe of old-pompous car. I would say more a fusion-cell-powered Lamborghini.

If Suzi Quatro says it, you can take it to the bank. She's the bomb.

Holy flashback! Haven't heard her name for a long time.

Holy flashback! Haven't heard her name for a long time.

I've worked with her a couple times and had a few great conversations with her and her husband. She is exactly what her image portrays...a nice sweet gal who will kick your ass if you get out of line

Alembic = Rolls Royce
Ibanez = Toyota
Fender = Ford
Gibson/Epiphone = GM

Sire = Tesla

Fodera.

1:46-1:54...that run is sooo cool.

 

[Liam Wald]

Yes, Another +1 for Alembic.
'57 P-Bass is like a '57 Chevy... definitely cool!

Last Saturday Suzzy Quatro said on BBC radio that the 1957 Fender Precision her father gave her was "the Rolls Royce of basses". Well, I thought a very great bass, but not a Rolls Royce, more of a Massey Fergusson (American readers may prefer John Deere).

This set me thinking, what bass would qualify as a Rolls Royce? My nomination would be a Status Series-3, but I would love to know what is your absolute luxury bass?

It would be custom made by the best luthier that money could buy.

In before someone says Squier or SX.

Sire = Tesla

Sire = Scion, perfectly decent with a specific audience

 

[guitarflinger]

Gotta say Pedulla MVP. Maybe not a Rolls, more like a Ferrari (watch Doug Johns on his)

 

[mongo2]

Don't know about the Tesla but I guess Travis Bean would be the Delorean of basses.

Only if it's modded with a Mr. Fusion.

 

[SactoBass]

Yep. And in Suzy's case I think the fact it's a vintage PB her father gave to her made it a Rolls as far as she's concerned. You can't put a dollar price on something like that.

True dat!
