I am actually quite suprised at the number of folks who have included Rics in this poll... after recently getting one, I can say that compared to my Roscoe and Pedulla basses, the Ric is at best a mid level bass. (Price not with standing) IMHO

This is for operating a store.

IMO, Rickenbackers would sell better.

Plus, I've yet to find any basses I like better. Taste in basses is subjective.

Some folks here are missing the spirit of the OP's question.
Maybe a better way of posing the question would be, "What 5 high-end brands of basses would you like to see at your new local bass shop, mixed in with all of the mandatory low-end volume-selling poop basses?"

What are the main basses you see the better players (who would purchase higher end gear) using in your areas?

I don't know very many of my fellow bassists here in Salt Lake City, but I do know two of them that play Series-II Alembics. I think there's another local guy that rotates between a Dingwall-5 and a Lakland Skyline Osborn. For the most part, I see Fenders, EB/MM's, G&L's, Yamahas, Ibanezes, and a few Spector Euros.

We have a really good local music store that stocks some boutique gear, but since GC moved in, the owner doesn't stock quite as many boutique basses as he did in the pre-GC days. However, he's still an authorized dealer for many boutique brands, and will place custom orders for them.
