Top 5 "Bucket List" basses

[David Sutkin]

OK, here is my "One day before I die" bass list ....

1. A Wal MK2 or MK3

2. A Kubicki Ex Factor

3. A Rickenbacker 4005

4. 1960's Jazz bass (Pre CBS)

5. 1950's Precision bass


Your turn ....

 

[Lesfunk]

I’ve had most all my bucket list basses.
Status,Alembic,Pedulla, Modulus, B.C. Rich,Jazz Bass from my birth year, etc, but still the bucket grows deeper

 

[Stranger Danger]

Alembic Anything
Modulus Quantum

 

[p k]

1. Carl Thompson
2. Fodera
3. Pre CBS Fender
4. Sadowsky NYC
5. F Bass
6. MTD

I have had a Fodera before and received a CT direct last year. The chase is still on for the others.


I wanted to edit in a couple of others

7. Musicman
8. Modulus Sonic Hammer

Recently picked up a mm special and it is a great bass. The sonic hammer is the bass I had and gigged with through college, definitely a keeper.

 

[Ostie]

I just picked up a Talman tmb100 a couple weeks ago so I crossed that one off the list. Next up is a Ric, and I’ve never owned a Fender P. Also a Gibson EB-0 or EB-3.

1. Carl Thompson
2. Fodera
3. Pre CBS Fender
4. Sadowsky NYC
5. F Bass
6. MTD

I have had a Fodera before and received a CT direct last year. The chase is still on for the others.

I'm debating putting my custom built matte black Fodera P bass up for sale ... PM if interested

 

[BigBigGuy44]

1. Sadowsky NYC
2. G&L Custom Shop
3. EBMM Stingray
4. Fender USA P Bass
5. Gibson Thunderbird

My list is nearly complete. Stingray and G&L are in process. I want a T-Bird and as much as I would love it to say "Gibson" on the headstock, the Epiphones are a much better value and seem to have higher quality control standards.

 

[mongo2]

Four I already have are:

Shortscale SCPB
Shortscale Mudbucker Telecaster Bass
Silvertone 1444
Hofner Club

I'm not really sure what the other one would be.

 

[soulman969]

Just two.

1) My old Modulus M92-5
2) Kubicki Factor

 

[MD]

Got nothin'.
My bucket is a whole lot of empty.

 

[ScottfromCalgary]

Interested in trying a few other basses still (Wal MK1 or MK2, Ken Smith, Stingray Special) but only truly have one on my bucket list:

'64 Fender Precision

My American Vintage 63 is filling the need for the time being, but some day...

 

[nonohmic]

Dusty Hill Precision Bass. Is the only 'bucket list' bass.

 

[B-Lo]

In no particular order:

-F Bass AC 5 or 6
-Sadowsky NYC
-MTD 535-24
-Alpher Mako Elite
-Devon Gen 5

 

[Bass V]

priorities dictate that I finish rounding up the ones that got away, and a certain wine finished Micro-Frets Husky once with tapes will cap that list off, then there's myriad repairs / mods, string changes, but I want;
ESP LTD F-4E
Gibson EB-0 violin / EB-3
Lace Helix
Tokai Talbo
Torzal Twist
thang'od I'm 2hrs away from a likely NBD honeymoon with a Squier Deluxe Dimension off CL

 

[Brother Goose]

Ken Smith BT 6
ACG six w all the bells/whistles
Disco Globe Ritter 5
Pedulla Hexabuzz
1979 Music Man

 

[Hammerfield]

Rickenbacker 4001 (toaster, horseshoe)
Hofner 500/1
Gibson Ripper
Fender Precision 60s
Fender Coronado 60s


Im sure this will change

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I’m pretty set, but I’d like a short scale, maybe Serek? Would also like a fretless someday and I’d like to give building a bass a shot. Well, assembling a bass from Warmoth parts.

 

[Diesel Kilgore]

Any original Danelectro in good shape.

 

[TheReceder]

A salmon Foundation.
I've found that with low standards I'm seldom disappointed.

 

[edencab]

Ricki
higher end Yamaha than my 1st bass
Gibson Thunderbird
Stingray, maybe a Bongo too
