Your Most-Wanted Rare Feature on a Bass

[jaco_bass]

an affordable price!!!

 

[Sound Chaser]

A urinal.

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

[nuno.ka]

A black Aerodyne Jazz with 24 frickin' frets! Is that such an alien concept Fender?

 

[malthumb]

Sidelines on a fretless
Active / passive switch
Quick access battery door
adjustable nut

 

[bh2]

One that tunes itself and can play itself while you go to the bar.
+1 for the urinal.

 

[XylemBassGuitar]

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.

My R&D team is on that one...They're also working on a stereo output jack that attracts twins when combined with the on-off switch. I'll send everyone at TB a blast email when those basses are available.

 

[spade2you]

A urinal and beer dispenser. It would be like my own personal terrarium!

 

[SamanthaCay]

bring back the gizzmatron only this time make it work in the same way an ebow does and make it smaller

 

[jsm81]

Built-in headphone amp...switch on bass turns on amp and headphone plug into 1/4" output.

 

[Surprise Panda!]

A pez dispenser bass

 

[TheWolf]

Built in head phone amp would drive up the price of every bass... just buying the VOX BASS amp plugin version is way more versatile

 

[DWBass]

I know a few basses have them but I want 'plug & play' pre-amps and pups. I want all Badass bridges 'pre' cut! I want Fender to learn how to make neck joints that never need shimming in order to gain low action!

You sir, may someday rule the world.
Even at say $100K per bass it would save a pile of money when you consider dating; let alone marriage, alimony, or both.

Maybe after the boys at Fender learn how, they can teach the fellows at EBMM

 

[the humanity]

dual 3 band EQ, stacked, with separate mid selectors, two pice laminate neck with a thin wenge top almost over a maple core, so it has wenge's feel, maples tone, and sexy looks at the neck joint.

I'd also like to inform the fanned fret guy that they are making a mtd style line from Dingwall that he would fine quite perfect for his taste. not mine, I could never get used to the fanned frets, I played that stupid Dingwall for an hour before I returned. barre chords are considerably more weird.

 

[jdieh1]

I want a killswitch, so I can do Tom Morello-like solos on bass

I installed one of those onto my Epi T-bird. It's pretty cool

 

[57pbass]

Built-in headphone amp...switch on bass turns on amp and headphone plug into 1/4" output.

+ 100 I am really surprised that this feature is not available on more basses.

The Zeta Crossover bass has this feature ...so its out there to be had...

 

[skipsinclair]

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...

Rondo's got a couple fivers like this, but no fours...

+1
on passive/active switch

also alot of gains have been made in guitars that rarely translate to bass
mostly because have the time you physically can't:

1. Locking tuners/staggered tuners
2. LSR-like ball bearing nut
3. toggles/3-5way switches for more tone variance (e.g. EBMM Sterling, Fender Tony Franklin,etc,.)

 

[Sound Chaser]

That's another one. I hate blend knobs. Switches and toggles are so much better.
