What is your favorite Body shape?

[bassist4dalord]

Yup, standard Fender guy here. Prefer the look of the P more, but I'm starting to gravitate to the Jazz sound..

Good thing I've got a Squier Standard Precision V (P-Body, Jazz pickups and electronics)

I kinda just like the Strat/Precision shape. It's nice an simple and looks good with most colors.

a few more of my favs:

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

If you could make/buy any shape that would work as a bass body, what would it look like. I wanna see what kind of creative basses people would get if they had the option

Something similar to this:



For me, it's the closest to the "perfect-looking" bass I've seen.

 

[laklandplayer]

Kim Kardasian uh, I mean a P bass.

 

[KingRazor]

The Ibanez Soundgear, of course.

 

[Jeff K]

Yeah, I too am basically a traditionalist when it comes to basses. Aesthetically, my order of choice would be: Rickenbacker; Jazz; Precision. But for playing comfort, it would be P, then Jazz. The Rick wouldn't make the cut for me. Sure is beautiful though...

 

[EAdanikDG]

Definately the Spector NS shape. No contest.

 

[wshines1892]

Something about the curves on a Precision bass. I like my tone like I like my women, thick.

 

[Stilettoprefer]

Backwards V!!!! Like the cardboard guitar in "breakin the law" by judas preist music video.

Are you building this from scratch? IWANTONE!! OH Please pm me

 

[banikek]

I was thinking of taking a Strat body and flipping it over, trace it, and stretch it a bit!!! Might look cool?

[Lightning Rider]

I like Vs. I must be on the minority because no one makes V basses.

 

[EAdanikDG]

Nice basses. Why do some of the 5 strings have 4 string pickups though?

 

[TheGrizz]

I'm very partial to the standard Jazz body. But another favorite is the Ripper/Grabber shape. Preferably the first Ripper body type.

 

[Pillgrimm13]

ive always liked bc rich warlocks, they just seem to fit me and i like angles and curves. i also love the rich bich mockingbird and widow but a warlock feels like part of me when i play one.
