You just won the lottery

[oddio]

For me it would be a Dingwall Prima Artist fretted fiver with cocobolo or redwood facings and matching headstock... ordered in a heartbeat.

 

[basskababble]

Stingray white, tort guard, flamed maple, probably vintage 2 band EQ and an Orange rig. A Jeep Wrangler, and invest the rest of the money to start paying for itself through CD's, Stocks, etc.

You make enough money, and eventually having money becomes your source of income.

Dingwall Super J5.

That should leave you with just enough for a dinner for 2 at Ruths Chris steak house.

I think it's funny that out of all the basses you could buy with 100 million bucks, I'm seeing a lot of Music Mans mentioned.

Well... I'm no different.

I'd get a Bongo 6 HH (Either Firemist Orange or Blue Pearl) with piezos. Everything stock.

 

[dokazaado]

just one? :scowl:

I guess I'd get the same thing I've been gassing for otherwise - Lakland Decade shorty.

 

[berzerker92]

aww only one??? i would go for prob either a custom warwick, spector, or some kind of crazy custom stingray...

 

[baileyboy]

Ritter and/or Pre-CBS Fender P

 

[TMBTC]

Forget the Bass , How fast to you kick out the 'ol lady ??????

 

[Bassman7PM]

This............

 

[guitarhuckster1]

A Ruokangas. I just may buy one anyway even if I don't win the lottery.

 

[WMV2]

I'd buy the spector company.

 

[pedroims]

I will paid my debts, then I may buy a Lakland DJ. Even with 10 million dollars in my saving account I will still buying used and not spending more that $2000 in a bass.

 

[zachoff]

60s NR Thunderbird.

100 million dollar jackpot, tax-free.

What bass do you buy/have made?

One bass, no rules.

A LeFay 6 string & matching Stambaugh fretted/fretless 4 strings.

While waiting for delivery (short listed with extra $$) I'll be busy dealing with, living in hotel suites (you can never go home again), changing cell phone numbers regularly & keeping the people I want to talk with up to date, writing a new will, learning finance & investing (so it is harder for greedy advisors to cheat me), setting up a family trust & screening the requests for gifts & donations from everyone I've ever met, every school I've ever attended, every politician running for office in my State ...

OTH, I could hire professional musicians to jam with weekly-

You can tell I've thought this through. It is a nice fantasy but really, deep down I know the Lottery is best described as "Estate Planning for the financially naive". If you win, I will ask for a small gift to zero balance my credit cards & an interest free loan to refinance my mortgage and line of credit.

a thread like this pops up every now and then, but it's always nice to fun to read the answers.

early 60's P
70's Jazz
70's 4001
Mk 1 wal fretted and a fretless
pre CBS stingray and other stingrays from other years
gretsch white falcon
gretsch billy-bo
lackland decade
some fairly unknown japanese boutique bass just for fun
Shergold Modulator bass
a really old double bass
Modulus jazz
some old hollow body gibson
and then I'd go to one of the best luthiers I could find to have made together with him some custom creations. y know, play with different woods, pups, technology and etc. one of those would be a stingray 4 shaped like the 5ers
and i'd probably stumble across some other basses that i'd drool for.

 

[Stan Laurel]

I'd call Bill Conklin and have him start on a 7 string with some of his beautiful custom woodwork. Then start a search for a '67 Ric 4005 to match my 360 six and twelve strings.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

And make him watch a loop of his performance as Joe Adler in the movie 'Extract' when he's not working his butt off schlepping your gear around.

This one?


Idk man, I wanted to humble him some...but that might border on torment




oh yeah, and btw...I want a Wal too

 

[Dan Knowlton]

No question - Ken Lawrence Chamberbass 5, fretless, 25A figured top, ebony board, piezo/magnetic pickup combo....

Dan K.

 

[superfunk47]

It's amazing how few people read the OP. ONE BASS.

'57 P for me.

 

[Drifta]

a lakland 55-94 and a fat savings account.
