If you ever want to unload that V6...

If you ever want to unload that V6...

Well, now, you of course already know that ain't gonna happen until I score a V8 or Hexavalve.

It's amazing how many of these are Ibanez basses.

Most of mine can be found, it's finding them at an affordable price that makes them rare.

My first bass was a Univox violin shaped bass in black and green sunburst. Every now and then I look for one and have yet to find one. Not sure I'd buy it if I found it - it's not something I need, just something I'd like to have for sentimental reasons.

Here's one item I'd like to find in good shape at a good price: A Boss Dimension C chorus pedal. They are either beat to hell or the owner wants so much money I could buy a Strymon.

Just one?! I guess mine would be a pre-Gibson Tobias, preferably a Classic. I'll never forget playing one as a new bassist at 14 at a super-high-end bass shop and loving the neck profile, complexity of the sound of the woods in the Bartolini's and the sheer beauty of Mike's basses. Unfortunately when they do pop up I never have the cash.

One of my previous white whales was an Ibanez, the original ICB-500 with the "full regalia" binding. Hangs on my bedroom wall now.

Mine has just become the Fender Modern Player Short Scale Jazz Bass that has become extint in record time...

 

[Up the dose]

Five string Hamer Impact bass with the boomerang inlays.

Adding one more --- late 80s ibanez hofner - violin-shaped 6string guitar . Maybe it was in an ad with Paul Gilbert ?

Yeah man those are really cool.I had a chance to play one of thos Ashula's when they first came out.Very cool basses.MY "white whale" would probably be a Mike Browne Gnome bass, a Morch bass,or a Eugen bass.Can't find 'em to save my life.I dont know why but the Eugen bass drives me nuts.
Browne Katalox top.3 Morch 6ers.The Eugen bass I can't stop dreaming about.

 

[rafitoprtx]

My father in law ones one of those. I play my first song in it!

 

[singlemalt]

Presidential candidate worth thinking about?

 

[neo 7]

I'm pretty happy with the basses I got, but I'd love a vintage Mustang in competition orange.

 

[bass_case]

A bolt on jazz bass with no dead spots!

I thought we were looking for white whales, not purple unicorns.

 

[kcole4001]

I've long had GAS for one of these:

I've never seen one in person.

I have two:
1) Gibson EB-750
2) Ibanez SR 1300 PD

I have a friend that has 3(!) EB-750s who WILL NEVER sell one.

What are EB750s worth roughly? I have never seen one in the flesh. I think only 40-60 were ever made.

I have one of those- a very early one.

 

[Iridescentone]

Been looking for one of these for about a decade.
