Your Desert Island Rig

[RGerhart]

You are on a desert Island, no electricity, have to go acoustic, plus...
Bucket can be used to store, carry, cook, stand on, trap food, get water (if you plug the hole), seat...
Stick can also be used as a weapon, to reach high up food, hold up shelter...
Rope to hold stuff together, set traps for food...

Many other ways of using the bass, then assemble it back together and jam.

Except for the bucket the other parts can be replaced by items on said Island so it is very serviceable. There are no Hipshot dealers around.

I think this wins the Talkbass internet reply for the day. LOL

 

[RGerhart]

Mine would be:

Fodera Emperor 5 Standard Classic
Aguilar DB680 into an Accugroove Tri-112+ (powered)
Boss Tuner pedal

 

[ELG60]

Some combination of these:

 

[metron]

G&L SB-2
70s Ampeg SVT
Bergantino 412
Darkglass AO

Why? Because its a face melter and that’s what I enjoy.

A Punk Bass from Krappy Guitars.

A Mesa TT-800 head and Powerhouse 1000 cabinet.

Clip on tuner.

Well, my reality show was created by the writers of the Twilight Zone. So…Fodera Monarch, SVT with 810, and the accessory would be a huge generator with no solar power or gasoline available!

Kubicki
Shuttle 6.2 212 Stack

Maybe you could have solar generators?

[Rolling Thunder]

Is it a desert island or a deserted island? One I would think sand and the other i would be more concerned with survival.

Unless you meant dessert island in which case I would probably want to stay.

I assumed like bikini atoll from Spongebob but with electricity. And a stage and people.

 

[ComicBass]

Bass: EBMM 2020 BFR Bongo 5 HH Satin Honeyburst (it is just my best bass)

Amp: Darkglass Alpha-Omega 900 w\ BBC Matrix Cab (I'm assuming I get to bring a cab? Also I chose this because it is the best I have)

Acc: Tuner
(I'm really hoping I can bring a strap too, as I like to play standing. I prefer a Boss pedal tuner, but if I'm not allowed the extra cables I'll settle for a snark or something like it.)

Are you asking hypothetically?

 

[salmon256]

An upright bass and English Concertina. Because no palm going to give me electricity or recharge a battery power PA, unless I had a solar generator. Humidity gonna destroy my upright though :[

A desert island, deserted island, or uninhabited island, is an island, islet or atoll that is not permanently populated by humans. Uninhabited islands are often depicted in films or stories about shipwrecked people, and are also used as stereotypes for the idea of "paradise". Some uninhabited islands are protected as nature reserves, and some are privately owned. Devon Island in Canada's far north is the largest uninhabited island in the world.[1][2]

Small coral atolls or islands usually have no source of fresh water, but occasionally a freshwater lens can be reached with a well.

Palm???

The desert island is Devon island in Far North Canada. Dress warm

EDIT: There was a budget cut. Sorry. Photos of your fellow musicians attached.

Devon Island Is as Close to Mars as You May Get

I was thinking the Mothman for similar reasons - enough wood to make a decent raft. Of course, if Leonardo DiCaprio wants on, sorry, there's only room for one on the bass.
