You get a bass as a 1-time gift.

[shai-ga]

This is the deal:

1. You get one bass for free.
2. You can't sell\trade it (so price is irrelevant)
3. All your other basses are gone, and you can't buy basses anymore.
4. It is a bass company you never played\owned any of their instruments.
5. You choose a specific company \ luthier - but you can't choose the model you get.

Which company or high-end builder would you pick?

 

[5StringBlues]

ALPHER. Some fantastic looking bases on their website.

 

[tadawson]

I'd pick Pedulla, but oops . . .

Chapman Stick?

 

[DirtDog]

I’d try a Dingwall or a Fodera.

 

[ravelax]

I'd go with a G&L.

Beat me to it. Anything of theirs, including the EUBs, would be amazing.

I'd say "no thanks" and walk away.

I'd hand my Squier series jazz bass to Sadowski or somebody and tell them to make me that, but better.

 

[Albert Ross]

I've never even seen one in real life, but if was to accept your hypothetical offer, I guess I'd get a Wal...

 

[Gervais Cote]

Sandberg p bass, made in Germany, of course.

 

[Ian774]

Ok, never played, and I can't choose the model... MIKE LULL. Thanks.

 

[mikewalker]

I know what I like - but if it has to be a brand that I have never owned... then
