What would your last ever bass purchase be?

[joeaba]

A custom built Alembic 6 string

I'd go with buying Stanley Clarks alembic or an old Pedulla.

 

[R&B]

A well preserved original '67 Fender Precision, 8 pounds or so, sunburst, tort, rosewood, nice neck, lollipop tuners. Sigh...

 

[bdplaid]

I say this every time I buy a bass.

 

[Rogue5]

An Alembic series II fiver w/a Rogue body style.I'd have to take out a second mortgage on the house to afford it but what the hell?You only live once.

 

[jubl]

Given I will do this until the end, anything but in a coffin case.

 

[Wolfhound32]

My "final bass" would be a 1968 Jazz... I'll stop if I ever get there. Promise!

 

[Stranger Danger]

Alembic Rogue

You have great taste! Foderas are so expensive, I never even dream about anything but a Standard. Too bad I am not a wheeler dealer like Brad.

Thanks Cheese. but my days of 3,4 & $5,000 basses are done! So a Fodera is a dream. Lol I now have a college freshman!
BTW I spoke to someone at Nordtrand and those Birdseye maple pup covers with Nordstrand dual coils will run me just over $600... Ouch!!

My very last bass will be a cheap P-Bass copy. I wanna be buried with it, so my son can have my real basses.

Dude, I know where you are coming from! I am getting a bass this holiday season that I plan to hold onto for dear life because my eldest will be in college in four years!

Well, I guess the last bass I'd ever buy is a Fender Precision.
So that's one way to think about it.

Otherwise, there's lots of cool stuff to pick up. This thread has pictures of stuff I'd never considered (Pentabuzz? Righteous! And I've never seen a Wal look like that....).

Which only means I'll keep collecting til I die die die...

Excellent way to twist the meaning/intent of this thread!

Tomorrow isn't guaranteed to anyone. You may have already bought your last bass. You should treat every bass purchase as if it's your last.

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

 

[ThaCoast]

If i knew it was my last: hagstrom Viking in white. I'd want a semi acoustic to complete my collection. Honestly that's probably the last one i will ever purchase.

Which is why i'm modifying & refurbishing most of them.

This. Not a super crazy expensive bass, but adding this to my collection would complete my search for a great range of tonal options.

That's a doozy!

 

[lbbc]

Alembic Rogue cocobolo top 4-stringer OR Alembic Mark King cocobolo top, omega cut, red fret lights

 

[Hi-End Basses]

With two American Standard Precision basses, I think I may have purchased my last already. Very satisfied with my girls!
