Which basses would you like to try?

Mike Lull, Graphite neck Stingray, Status Stealth 2 (the all, including body, graphite one.) Peavey Cirrus, Ken Lawerence, Sadowsky. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

I'd like to play Wals, Sei Bass, Sadowskys, Foderas, and Carl Thompsons in a stage setting, to see what they can do at a gig.

 

The only high-end basses I've been able to try out are Warwicks and a used Yamaha TRB5P. They don't carry many expensive basses in my country, they only bring them here if you ask for it. And then they expect you to buy it.

So, on my list is every high-end bass that I haven't tried. Which means a couple of hundred models or so!

 

Jerzy Drodz
Zon
Sadowsky
Hanenwinckel

A GOOD FENDER...

 

I have played quite a few basses so far in my short career, but I still would like to try a couple more:

Warwick (anything)
Lakland
G & L
Any other high end basses. All the stores around here carry basses that rarely go over $1,200-1,500. They all have Fender, MM, Peavey, Ibanez, and one or two Modulus.

well..
I'd love to try another CT
Jerzy Drozd
Wal
Alembec Classico
a Conklin Melted-Top a MID jack
a Bass Lab Bass
Ibanez SR1500 (dont make no more)
the list goes on ....

 

Oh ya, a walnut carved 6-string upright would be amazing, I've never seen one but it would be amzing still

 

Zon
Sadowsky
Fodera (i played one once, but it was a long time ago)
Alembic
pre-CBS jazz bass
Lakland
Conklin 7string (although i don't know why, i can barely play a 6)

Whoa, ok here we go:

7-Strings:
Roscoe SKB3007
Conklin Sidewinder 7
Hanewinckel 7
Warrior Signature 7

6-Strings:
F Bass BN6 and BNF 6
Fodera Imperial Elite 6
Warwick Thumb Neck-thru 6

5-Strings:
Roscoe LG-3005
MTD 535
Lakland 55-94
Dingwall Afterburner 5

4-Strings:
Carl Thompson 4
Kinal SK4-B Fretless
Sadowsky Ultra Vintage J
Spector NS-4P

As you can see there is a lot. I want to play them all, but it is hard to play a lot of high-end US custom brands in Canada, as they wind up costing a fortune so stores don't usually stock the really good stuff, and Canadian luthiers can offer equally good products for significantly less (ie Dingwall, Kinal, F Bass...) as there is no exchange rate problems.

What I've played:
F bass BN5 and BNF5
Dingwall Prima 6, Z2 5, Zebra 6
Spector NS-6
Ken Smith BSR6EG and BSR5GN

 

Jason.. they had a pretty nice used Zon 5 (believe it was a Sonus Special) at ECmusic last year. No idea if it's still there.

I'd like to try out:

Czech Spector
Gibson RD Artist
Schecter Model T Rob Deleo Sig
more Zons!
Lakland
MTD
Roscoe

 

A Sadowsky 4-string, a Musicman Stingray, a Reverend Rumblefish, an Ibanez ICB500, a MIA Jazz and an 'A' Bass.

 

Kenneth Lawrence Chambrase
Alain Caron F Bass
Fodera Emperor II
Curbow XT-33
Zon Hyperbass (Michael Manring model)
Carl Thompson
John's Doubleneck
Basslab

...Then my mission will be complete

Jeff

 

DOH! I forgot about that one! DROOL

 

Allot of basses Mainly an Ibanez ATK405 I tried ATK305 but the j pup in the 405 must add some more sweetness.

 

sadowsky
rob allen
Rev. Rumblefish
CT with wood bridge

 

I'd like to get my hands on a Zon and a Carl Thompson. Other than that, not much that I can immediatly think of.
