Your dream bass

[MrJack]

Title says. What's the axe of your dreams? The bass that you swear will be in your hands one day?

Here's mine--I'm a man of simpler tastes and styles, myself:

OK, I'm cheating, but my dream bass is an old German upright. If I hit the lottery tonight, I'll buy it tomorrow.

How's that cheating? It sounds awesome!

It is awesome!

But, the thread was in the bass guitar forum, so I felt like I was pushing it.

Yeah... cool! I'm hacking away on a 10 year oldish Engelhardt EM1 for now, my URB dream bass would be Paul Warburton's 5 string... but I'll settle on one of the 5 strings Bob G sells if I ever get around to upgrade

Spector NS-2. Spalted maple top for me please...!

 

[basstoven]

Warwick Corvette $$ NT Bubinga frettless. Looks beautiful and has a tone I would die for.
I also seen a vintage pbass with a frettless maple neck. I was intrigued to say the least

 

[Dethrats]

Rickenbacker 4003s Blackstar.

 

[BartmanPDX]

Already got it.

Sadowsky Will Lee

 

[tjoemiller]

I just got a Dingwall 5 string that I've been dreaming about!

 

[portlandguy]

Just bought it today - Fender american standard jazz fretless - black with maple fretboard

I play my dream bass every day, and let it out to play most weekends-

 

[iriegnome]

My dream bass does not exist as of yet. I am planing a build sometime soon. 5 string. Birdseye Maple Board fretted. No fret dots or inlays. Maybe a Cherry Sunburst or Natural finish. 2 pickups - probably music man style or EMG's, 18v preamp and a nice big honkin Bad Ass V bridge. Body style will be a mystery for now.

 

[LuckyBassPlayer]

My dream bass would be a 5 string Thunderbird, white w/ white pg (holds up flame shield)

a custom shop 50s fender pbass in white

Something with this finish:

An MTD 635-24 with either a Spalted Maple top on Swamp Ash body (matching headstock) or a nice Figured Walnut on Swamp Ash (also with matching headstock). Man I would kill for one of those ... In the words of Wayne "It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine"

Heres an idea of what the Walnut would look like except itd be in 6 string
