Top 5 "Bucket List" basses

[ajkula66]

OK I'll play...

Carl Thompson 32"
Wal Mk I
Kubicki EX Factor
Rickenbacker RM 1999
1960s Gibson Thunderbird (non-reverse)

 

[2F/2F]

I would like a real '60's Mustang Bass, in red if possible, as close to mint as I can afford. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the AVs and other basses that I already own.

I have a bass that's a 1977 Stingray body with a 1980 Sabre neck. I hope to be able to find a period-correct neck and body for each of them, so I end up with a "correct" 1977 Stingray and a "correct" 1980 Sabre.

EBMM StingRay 4HH - Charging Green
Rickenbacker 4003 - Fireglo
Lakland Skyline 44-64 - Ice Blue Metallic

That's it. More of my GAS is for amps.

LeFay 4 String
Original Mustang
Early 60’s Jazz
Ibanez Prestige 4 String
A really nice upright bass..

 

[winegamd]

Fodera AJ Presentation II, Greg Curbow 6-string, Zon Sonus TJ 6-string, MTD Bubby Lewis Signature 6-string, and either a Skjold Whaleback 6-string or Custom Zon Legacy bolt on 6-string with a semi hollow body, Nordstrand Zen Blades, a Pope preamp, and piezo bridge.

Mouradian Reality
EBMM 4H
EBMM 4 HH
Mouradian CS74

[Dr. Cheese]

I should have put the Sandberg VM5 on my list as number five instead of the three I had tied for that position.

 

[N4860]

• Music Man Bongo
• Spector NS5
• Dingwall D-Bird Custom 5
• Maybe a fretless Warwick

That's about it for now. Being a huge Rush fan, I always wanted a Ric, but all of them I have ever tried just don't play or feel too nice so I don't think I'd actually enjoy one.

 

[Charlzm]

The only one left for me is a Steinberger L2, preferably a 5 string.

 

[Gizmot]

This is a fun post!

I’m pretty happy with what I have (a couple of Rics, a couple of G&Ls, a Warwick and a MusicMan). It’s only human nature to want something else.

1). Dingwall Z-3
2). Custom Warwick Thumb SC
3). Serek Sacramento
4). Ric 4003 five string
5). Sadowsky NYC

In order:

• Pedulla Buzz (already own)
  
• NS Design Omni Bass
  
• Zon Hyperbass
• EBMM Bongo 5 string fretless in purple (mandatory color)
• Wal fretless like Mick Karn's

 

[Mamoru]

Only one for me.

Anyone know who owns this?

 

[HamOnTheCob]

I sincerely wish I still felt this enthusiastic about gear. I've owned dozens of basses, and at this point, there's really not one that wows me enough to put it on any sort of bucket list. There's a few basses I'd like to check out just because I never have, but that's it. I think I've just had too many disappointments over gear that wasn't all I thought it would be to really still have a kid-on-Christmas kind of excitement for anything.

I just got a new P-Bass delivered by FedEx a couple days ago, and the box sat unopened for several hours because I simply forgot to open it. Today I got a Strat delivered and after opening it and making sure it wasn't damaged, I leaned it up against my amp and haven't touched it since. When I was younger, I would've been dying to get these, would've cleaned them up (well, the used Strat anyway), set them up, taken photos, posted all about them, etc.

I even went to NAMM without playing a single instrument. Not one...

I really do wish I still had that passion you guys all seem to have.

My bucket list is the reverse of most folks here.

1. Sell 30 from the Peavey collection
2. Sell the various cabs.
3 Sell another 15 from the Peavey collection
4.Sell the pedals/preamps and other sundries.
5.Sell another 20 basses.

Trust me, your wallet appreciates your lack of passion

1) Wal Mk3 6-string
2) MTD 635
3) Pentabuzz
4) Dingwall ABZ 6
5) Alembic Mark King

If you didn't notice in my post, I just got a new P-Bass a couple days ago and got a Strat today. I also have another Strat arriving Monday, and am winning an auction for another Strat currently too. No part of my wallet appreciates me right now. hahaha

 

[dukeorock]

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.

The Epi Vintage Pro is an awesome value, but higher quality control standards? Not really. I own a couple recent model Gibson T Birds. Fit, finish and setup were impeccable. Played 3 Epi Vintage Pro’s. One was awesome, one ok and one terrible. Don’t like the finish work, but that is nitpicking and at their best they’re awesome basses.
