Whats your dream bass?

[kesslari]

Zon?

Zon indeed. Bubinga top, Guancaste body, sounds like a dream (links in my sig are that bass).

One day, I'd like to own a Ritter.

If nothing else, than to just hang it on the wall.

 

[SchnaiderGT]

Dream bass? I want a lot of different basses, but if I had to choose only a few:
- 1960 Fender Jazz Bass (2 stack pots)
- 1963 Fender Precision
- Rickenbacker 4003 (with push/pull for vintage tone)
- '70 Musicman Stingray

At the moment, a lefty Pedulla MVP in arctic night at a below-average weight.

I have several MIA Fenders as well as Alembics and Spectors so I am very happy with what I have. I would like to get back my 78 Jazz in Sienna Sunburst with maple fretboard and white block inlays. It was stolen in 1984 along with a 72 SVT head and cab. I haven't seen one like it since then. It was one of the best sounding and playing basses I've ever owned.

Yup. that's on my top 5. I can't imagine much more Mwah than that!

Just listened to "The Friday Night Suite"- outstanding playing and a beautiful concept. Thank you!!

Dream bass? Nothing very special. A stable, versatile, reliable and good looking four stringer with a fat neck. Oh wait, I already got an L-2000.

 

[PortlandBass77]

I wouldn't say no to a Rickenbacker drool

but my dream bass would have to be a completely custom build:
1. Maple neck with black block inlays and vintage style headstock and skunk-stripe
2. Lightweight
3. 'modern jazzzzz' style body
4. 2 P PUs in Jazzzzz postion
5. High mass bridge
6. Sire active EQ
7. Probably Lake Placid Blue finish with a white PG and aluminum control strip

Trying to put together a dual course 10 string. Not sure if it's my dream bass but, it's a passion project for sure. Anyone got tips on how to get the bridge together please let me know

try to get an "Atlansia type" (each string goes seperate) they got the looks you will need for it

great project: keep us watching

may the bass be with you

A true vintage 60s jazz bass 3TS like the one of Marlowedk as the aged colours pattern is fantastic as well as the sound (not much interested in clean and modern sounding basses...)

Rics? Zons? I am done dreaming. Should be as I am in my late 40's right now.

 

[fretno]

all of them

 

[jn14211]

My dream bass is:
Zon Legacy 6 string, Headless/fretless, bolt-on neck, custom Hip-Shot piezo bridge, bartolini pu, spalted maple top/alder body.

Oh yeah!!!

Today it would be this one:

 

[madbass6]

I already have it. And another one. And another one. Not having to dream about them means I sleep better. The odd thing is that I have a bunch of bass guitars, but lately I have been playing the upright most of the time. I have one of those, and don't have any interest in another one. At this point, I don't really have much interest in buying another bass guitar, either. Does this attitude get me banned from TB? Probably!

You're not alone brother! althou if presented with the opportunity and funds like I mentioned earlier!
Wouldn't mind a 1960 all original stacked knob fender jazz Bass ! it wouldn't hurt my dreams in no way shape or form!

 

[Nahguavkire]

Dream bass huh?

Fodera Emperor II Fretless 6-string. Not sure of exact specs but I'm sure I'll have that sussed out by the time I save up to buy one!

Gibson EB-0 painted the same as Eric Clapton's "The Fool" SG.

Ibanez Thundercat Signature.

Yes, I've seen those types of bridges on many basses. I have the perfect bass (or will have it in about a month or so). It'll just need the extra tuners, a nut and of course the bridge. What I'm hoping is a company can modify the existing bridge. If not, ABM will custome make one (costly). Trying to get Hipshot to quote me.

My dream bass is a shortscale that takes long scale strings. So that would be a custom build or a Frankenshort of my own creation.

I've seen it done before. There was even a thread about those here a couple years back with pics. It works.

I have a specific adjustment design in mind so that it could take a lot of brands of strings ( different brands have different winding lengths).

 

[madmaskbass]

Been thinking a lot about this lately..shouldn't lol...

Early to Mid 90's Warwick Thumb NT5 mayyybe 6..
Dingwall Z3 some type of crazy cool black burst finish and Wenge neck

I'm pretty sure i'll own these basses one day soon. A crazy Ritter fretless for fun if we are really allowed to dream (never even played a fretless before lol)
