What do you wish existed?

[ZedLepp]

An all functioning workbench for the Variax Bass.

 

[ryco]

You mean this one in 5 string.

yes

 

[Peteyboy]

I wish Fender made a semi-acoustic Thinline Tele bass.

What Peteyboy said, except short scale.

I wish that all manufacturers had even light weight covers available as an option when you buy a new cabinet, amp or combo.

 

[5 is right]

I wish they had made 5-string basses from the 60s and onwards so you could get a vintage 5-string bass. I also wish that all basses were available as a 5-string edition so you wouldn’t have such a limited field to choose from if you, like me, play 5-stringers exclusivey

Cha-frigging-Ching!
Great for school band room, not so much in my budget. Are the Peterson pedals as accurate?

A dhansak so good, that I would have to be pinched whilst eating it. As to remind me that I hath not died and gone to heaven. That good.

Short scale Fender Road Worn 60's Jazz Bass, Stacked Knobs, Rosewood f-board. Scaled down size, but not much.

I just want someone to put a tuner in the freaking amp. Basically every amp on the market has extra knobs/buttons/functions that no one uses but the only amp I have with a built in tuner is a desktop guitar amp

TC Electronics my friend. Both my BG-250 combo amp and my RH450 both have tuners built in to them. The 450 is chromatic and the 250 is only the main notes (no sharps/flats).

Yeah, and don't let them full you, apparently those people with the "work for food" signs don't want to lug gear either. I was going to just let them have our bar tab.

Based upon my recent (fruitless) search, a 24 fret, 5 string bass which is NOT equipped with active pickups or electronics.

At one time I had a Yamaha BB5N that fit that description perfectly, played real nice too.

 

[Peteyboy]

It'd be nice if there was a grocery store point of purchase that I could stick drink tickets into. I mean, I guess could do that now but all it would bring me is a scowly manager.

Although these things exist, I would like them to be standard.

1) All basses with active electronics should have easy-access battery compartments, so that if you need to change a battery in a hurry, you don't have to muss and fuss with screwdrivers.

1a) Even better would be rechargeable battery packs that I can plug in, like Fishman has optional for their Fluence stuff. Eliminate the need to constantly spend money on 9v batteries.

1b) The Fluence battery pack has a low battery indicator. Why can't all active basses have a low battery indicator?

A passive-active switch always worked for me.
