Your Perfect Bass

[your idol]

a bass that turned into a hoverboard and a well-trained triceratops.

yes..there is nothing worse than a bass that turns into a reckless triceratops ...very inoppertune in a small club gig.

If you could have any bass, and money was no object, what would it be? It can be a discontinued model, but I would prefer something made within the last 10 years.

Wait, YOU would prefer that MY dream bass be made within the last 10 years?

Um... one that goes into my mind, pulls out the most amazing, most original song on earth, and teaches me how to play it. THEN if I decide I don't feel like it, it turns itself into an acoustic and plays the song itself to get me to sleep.

Maybe a Browne b...

1) Ken Lawrence Chamberbrase 5 string, 34" scale
2) Fodera Emperor 5
3) Pedulla PentaBuzz (darkblue burst, unlined fingerboard, soapbars)
4) Sadowsky Will Lee model 4 string

One is *not* enough!

Marcus Miller Jazz with a Precision neck and Sadowsky electronics.

 

[CBgaragebassist]

P-bass in tobacco sunburst with tort pickguard, chrome bridge and p-up covers, Jazz neck in maple. Strung with D'Addario Chromes.

Another would be a Precision body with Jazz p-ups, P pickguard, with Jazz neck. Fretless with ebony fingerboard. Sea Foam Green. Again, D'Addario Chromes

 

[LowdownJbass]

a black Rickenbacker

 

[cosmicevan]

Carl Thompson neck through FRILLS...

any string config will do, preferably 36" scale, preferably single pickup...but i'm flexible.

 

[puff father]

Fbass AC5, just stock would be fine, thank you.

Or, if money is somewhat of an object, a VF5 in alder/rosewood.

Mine would be an original 1964 Fender Jazz Bass in sunburst immediatley stuck in a case and into a closet in my house because its that old after it came out of the factory only for me to stumble upon one day while looking for a shoe.

 

[Spleenface92]

Mine would be: A vintage 60's precision with the electronics from a '66 Slab precision, done in HRR (from the jaguar) with a white competition stripe, a matching headstock, weighing about 8 pounds. Mmmmmmmmm (drools)

Lakland BG5
Double CHI-sonic pickups (stacked knobs (not shown))
trans - butterscotch
fretted ebony neck (no dots)

a bass that turned into a hoverboard and a well-trained triceratops.

The Herculoid?

 

[mmbongo]

I'd get the biggest, baddest Zon ever known to man.

Also trying to figure out why these people are choosing $400 Fender basses when money is no object? What's wrong with you people!?!?!!? If you want something from the 50's, go get a Buddy Holly record!

 

[wittynamehere]

Sounds like A P from open to the 5th fret, and a J from the 6th fret on up.

 

[ryco]

Fender fretless Deluxe Jazz V with a two octave ebony unlined fretboard
