What would your signature bass be?

Mine would be a skinnier.. fender P bass.. with deeper contours.. creme overwound neomagnet pickup.. aged tinted AAAA flame maple on Hard Maple body.. extra heavy brass bridge.. with satin nitro.. and an aged gold anodized pickguard no knobs and a strat style side jack.. with age orange tinted birdseye maple/Hard maple wood.. sanded worn in aging.. 12in radius but well rounded edge fret board.. big frets. light weight tuners.. a retainer on every string.. reversed headstock.. and a 1.5" brass compensation nut..

That's more or less a G&L SB1, with a few exceptions. But more or less.

I suppose it would be a re-release of the Peavey Foundation S in a custom color & matching headstock. All the rest of the bass could be just like the original '87 model. The custom color would be emerald green with medium metal flake.

Mine would be Bluesman Vintage P/J about 7.5 lbs and probably in a blue burst or some sort of old violin burst. It would have a Stellartone Tone Styler tone control.
I think that would be it.

This, in all its pointed glory.

NIICE! I could definitely see myself playing this in 1991, but I played drums then..I could play it now, might need to have my first aid kit on hand though..she does have all the angles to reflect radar in all different opposite directions. Classic 80's bass, Bonita! But what do I know, I think all these beat up Fender basses that people want as a signature basses, well, I just think they are beat up basses..I don't get it..

semi hollow, 24 fret, short scale fusion between a Gibson EB-3 and a Guild B-302. 2 mini humbuckers or a BiSonic in the neck and a mini humbucker in the bridge. Ric bridge piece.

5 string Wal. The pickup systems on all 3 versions intrigues me a lot.

... The only thing I'd add is a passive tone control. That's it.

There "might" be just enough room for one on there ... LOL
Sorry, just messing with you. That is a pretty outrageous looking machine you've got there!

Current sig: my 86 XL2
Custom sig: 6 string XL2. The rest of the specs are similar to an Alembic I had and loved. 5 pc M/PH neck through, maple wings, ebony board, Badass hardware (black), body clearcoated. Not sure of P/Us but probably passive Nordie Big Singles or Big Splits. I have the pivot plate already.

Can't find anyone who'll make it for me, so a similar spec Keisel Vader.

Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to add a few controls to make tea and answer the door but there wasn't space

This custom violin bass I had made:

 

[beatdatthang]

Spector NS-2 with the following options:
- roasted maple neck that is unfinished on the back in the playing area with the slimmest neck profile they can carve (Ibanez SR thin)
- 1.5" nut width
- dark ebony fingerboard with abalone crown inlays and stainless steel frets
- gloss black body finish
- All black hardware with drop D tuner
- Sims pickups (I want all the pickup options!)
- 18v Haz preamp

I'd also need an identical one in a 5 string but 34" scale.
