Your Most-Wanted Rare Feature on a Bass

[NoobOnRoad]

Tremolo stock on basses.

More neck pickup (like Rickenbacker).

3 pickup: Neck: Rick style Middle : P style Bridge : Humbucker

^what he said, I was gonna come in here with the whammy bar and 3 pickups but he beat me

 

[mvw356]

birdseye maple necks preferably unfinished like MM's.

 

[Mikio]

not a feature, but I'd like a manofacturer that did pre-fabricated pieces for ensambling, like Warmoth, at a close-to-mass-production price xD


well, by a manofacturer I actually mean Fender, lol

 

[JoeyZ]

A four string P-bass with Jazz Pickups. No P/J set up, just two J's.

Seems like it'd be an easy thing to produce, but I can't think of when i've seen one...

 

[Jim C]

A on/off switch that would attract hot chicks that carry no baggage; the pot would control age.
I would think that this option could more than double the value of even the most expensive instrument.

 

[JimB52]

A-width neck on a P-Bass.
I guess that's why I keep putting Jazz necks on P-Basses.

 

[Gintaras]

Thin pbass neck with 24 frets and a maple fretboard.

 

[Sound Chaser]

Good upper fret access, non-maple necks, more interesting pickup configurations.

 

[Iridescentone]

Amazing how many bass necks come with big useless face dots, then microscopic side dots.

How about some large, easy to see, freakin SIDE DOTS! Something you don't need night vision goggles to see in dim lighting. Hello?

I am joining the Factory installed Kahler Whammy Bar crowd and I would just like ONE KNOB for Volume. Nothing else. Do all the blending with trim pots inside the bass

 

[cmewhinney]

How about a Manringesque detunable bridge? Darn you Joe Zon, with your patent and outrageous prices!!!!

 

[blowinblue]

How about a Fender-shaped headstock design but angled...eliminating the need for those pesky and unsightly string retainers. Oh my, what a novel concept! Imagine how cool it would be if Fender basses actually came that way. Please don't tease me like that.

M. M.

 

[Joe Gress]

The switch that orders you a beer.

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Lined fretless basses that have the side dots located UNDER the fretlines, not in-between them. I've had to custom-order three fretlesses to have this as no one does it, but the side dots between the lines are useless to me.

 

[Jjango]

Opti-Grab!

It's not a rare feature by any means, though I wish more basses would have the jack on the front, it suits me much better. I can play the bass comfortably seated, and you never have to worry about bashing the cable and destroying the jack! (A friend of mine did this to his early 90's Warwick Thumb and he was less than pleased!)

 

[Mark Wilson]

A urinal.

I can't count how mant times i've had to piss while playing.

An American Standard Passive Precision Bass with a Jazz neck and a jazz bridge pickup. Why don't they make it?

Because they make jazz basses?
