What's Your Favorite Looking Bass?

[ScarfFace]

'51 style P Bass. P basses are good.

 

[leegreenman]

Rickenbacker 4003

 

[Doug Parent]

Michael Tobias Designs. Just about anything Mike makes is fabulous.

Warwick Dolphin or Kenneth Lawrence braise or warrior Isabella.

Gibson Thunderbird in vintage sunburst. And I'm a Fender guy.

That's some fretboard, there!

What bass is your favorite looking? You don't have to own it- just what single bass looks better than all other basses in the world to you? (Pictures would be loved!)

Warwick Thumb bass 4 BO.

 

[Hamish MacCleod]

That's some fretboard, there!

Ambrosia Maple.
Rondo

If there's anything sexier than a Marleaux Diva, I have never seen it yet.

I bet that sounds as good as it looks.

The one on the left is my favorite because I look really good with a black/black/maple Precision but I also dig that piece of ash on the other one.

 

[Blueinred]

The chrome on early Rics was always so impressive.

 

[hintz]

I can't decide really, but all 3 of my "birds" are my favorite shapes

I love older BC Rich handmade's!! That being said, I also dig Gibson, Rickenbacker's (miss the t-bird and 4001 I used to have) and always wanted to try a Stanley Clarke style Alembic!!

Of course I dig Fender's too, but I only have Rich's right now

The 76 eagle (bottom) is my current favorite because of the neck, but my mockingbird is the absolute lightest bass I ever played(Koa wood), the Ironbird and Eagle are all maple

 

[joebar]

the classiest would be the jazz shape-think Sophia Loren in her day
the sexiest would be a spector NS-2-think Beyoncé
the most reliable-P bass-think the damn fine woman that stays with you.
the most seductive may very well be that Marleaux Diva above- think your mistress

that is all.

I have different fave looks for different types of basses. My dream Fender has always been the beautiful (IMO) but not universally loved Mocha/Rosewood 70s Jazz. Ignore the blades of grass in the second photo, please, the build (all Fender, all MIA) is brand new and the finish is pristine... One day, I'll take some REAL photos of this baby.
