What would your last ever bass purchase be?

[red_rhino]

That is true, but I sure pray that I have a few more decades of decent health!

As do I, my friend. But I plan to max out my credit cards when I'm 105 years old buying a diamond encrusted Fodera. (Which probably means I'll live to 120, and have to pay them off.)

either the ibanez SR1800e or the lightest ric 4003 i could find. probably the latter due to the shorter scale.

this could change if i find out about a light, smaller body 30 or 32 inch scale bass with the appointments i prefer.

Really nice upright bass

 

[MacBass57]

It would be a custom Carvin PB4 to go with my SB4000

 

[Brother Goose]

I guess I'd have Mike Pope make me his 5er. (with all sliding pickups and removable frets).

That'll do!

1968 Fender Telecaster bass. The year I was born!!

 

[JanusZarate]

If the next bass would be the last I could ever purchase, it would be a custom Warwick Thumb NT 5. I just haven't figured out the specifics yet.

If I ever grew tired of it, I would just borrow or rent someone's else's basses. </LOOPHOLE>

I'm on the hunt for a US-made Lakland that sounds as good (if not better) than my 55-02. That can be my last bass purchase.

 

[NallaBlack]

Ibanez SR5000.

 

[Optofonik]

My retirement gift to myself will be a Ric.

I'm liking that new Precision Bass special by Fender. P/J pickups maple neck with black block inlays and it's sea foam green. Nice! If I can Swing it it will be my last bass.

 

[exidor]

a May custom Bass built to specs of my wildest imagination. well more to my practical imagination I wanna be able to play the thing.

 

[bassestkkm]

If I didn't buy anything would I live forever? Cause then I'd make everything and buy nothing

 

[REMBO]

A Fender For Sure!

 

[Dr. Cheese]

Come to think of it, I would love to find my first good bass, a Rickenbacker 4000. It looked like a 4001, but only has one pickup in the sweet spot. I kept that bass longer than any I ever owned, and was more comfortable on it than any bass since. I think the serial number was QD1465, if anyone has seen it.

It would be whatever bass I bought as the store exploded...

Any of these Fodera Imperials or Mayones basses would do just fine )
