Top Ten high end basses?
- Thread starter Cinquez Griffin
- Start date
They're all in my imagination and I haven't come up with a marketing campaign for them yet so I can't say much.
As everyone has said this is subjective. This is my list.
1.Wal has always been the dream bass.
2. I live in Ontario Canada so I see a lot of F basses. My teacher has one that he custom built. Doubles as a synthesizer.
3. Alembic would be my personal second choice to Wal as they do a similar preamp.
4. Ritters are beautiful instruments and ridiculously expensive.
5. Fodera makes some really beautiful designs
6. Teye's are art projects that I would love to play.
7. Warwick and Fbass have an interactive builder on their websites that deserves an honorable mention.
8. Carl Thompson basses also have beautiful designs the only time I've really heard one of these is from Primus and it does have a one of a kind tone similar to Wal.
9. I've actually had the opportunity to play a few Spectors and really enjoyed the feel. I found the tone to be similar to my Ibanez.
10. Sadowsky Great tone. Classic look.
