Your prettiest bass

[B-Mac]

I am not certain how they did that.

Piece by piece
Only 3 exist and all 3 are different

Only choice for me if I played in a rockabilly band!

Super cool, haven't seen one of those before.

Or maybe this...not sure.

Love the Patchwork, too!

 

[Iridescentone]

Sometimes plain and simple does it for me.

Trippy cool veneer top, custom deluxe! Never seen one like it.

When I owned it, I called my Ric 4003 in Montezuma Brown my ugly duckling. I really did like how it looked but it's an acquired taste.
My vote for prettiest, and I'm a traditional guy, is my Gibson SG. The finish looks mint and it's so much fun to play too.
I really like my tobacco burst Epi T-Bird too but the SG is prettiest to me.

 

[Jugghaid]

Is that your personal collection, or do you run a music store?

I have issues. Lol

Wow! I can't see how ANYBODY would think the Montezuma Brown Rics were "ugly ducklings"! I had one for awhile but sold it (like the Fireburst one I had before that).

While the name of the color conjures up negative images , I thought the Montezuma Brown 4003 was one of the most beautiful basses I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of basses over the years. I've just never been able to cozy up to Rics from a comfort standpoint. Always preferred my Fenders (and Fender-like) basses. But sometimes I wish I'd kept that M.B. Ric if for no other reason than to LOOK at it!!

I think this would be prettiest in my case. Series II Alembic.

I’ve read the same “ugly” comments about walnut Rickenbackers, but I think they’re beautiful.

These natural wood finish ones are quite nice.
