I'm not sure why, but I've always liked the looks of the BC Rich Mockingbird. I've never actually played one, though.

About a year after I started playing, I got myself a Rickenbacker, and that has been my main bass up until this year. I couldn't justify spending money on more than one quality bass, so it was just the one bass until last year.

Like you, I had never played a Mockingbird, and I have wanted one since high school (over 30 years ago). One popped up on Craigs List a few months ago, and I nabbed it for $200. Woohoo! I felt like a kid at Christmas! Still do, kinda.

I wanted a T-bird since high school, too. I got an Epiphone Nikki Sixx version off ebay this year, also for around $200, satisfying my lust for that one as well.

My 2 main GAS items that I wish I could afford:
Ritter Jupiter 6
Carl Thompson 6

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

If I won the Lottery, first thing on my GAS list would be the Ritter Jupiter bass. I LOVE the bass' shape and it looks like a work of modern art.

Oh for me, if I win the lottery or a lot of money with ma job. I would buy :

Warwick Thumb NT 4 strings with a kahler trem and black hardware.
or
A headless bass like one of the Zon and Status

Is this available yet? Looks AMAZING!

IMHO the peavey Brian Bromberg is a better bass. I've only played the peavey, but looking at the specs side by side the peavey looks better YMMV

You can't play specs, Tommy.

Which one? There were two: The Artist and the Standard... one was active, one was passive.

I have a black standard and a black Artist.

I have a black standard and a black Artist.

No razzing! That's cool I dig that.

I just want an old Harmony H-22. It's really my only must-have bass that I have yet to acquire.

I would just like to say I have a crush on the entire Eastwood line.

Welcome to Eastwood® Guitars.com

I don't know why but that funky pawn shop aesthetic has really grabbed me lately.

Hmmm...I guese Clement and Fodera.
I never bought,played,or even saw any of these.
All of the models I heard or saw pics of in TB/other bass forums.

Though they are probably never close to the real thing.

But to be honest,if I get to decide whether playing a Clement or a Fodera?...
I'll go Clement.
Because Clement is something I might be able to buy,lol!

I kinda like that. They got the headstock right. Leo didn't do everything right. The "reverse" headstock should've been the standard headstock.

 

[RMXSeven]

I really want an ESP Bugsy, or Gibson EB3 (1969-70). love that slotted head!

 

[Buster Mudd]

I would love to get a Knuckle Guitarworks Quake tuned an octave below standard bass, but I can't quite convince myself that sound would work in any of the bands I currently perform with.
