MacDaddy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 [quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1440190442' post='2849039'] Status Streamline. I have no idea why. Perhaps its because they're unlike anything else out there. I quite fancy rocking one of those in my sh*te pub band, just to be a little perverse... [/quote] Happy Jack occasionally cracks his Streamline out in his pub rock band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 A bit predictable this, but 60s Precisions. probably a bit unrealistic! But I am itching for a change-around in the bass guitar department, hence my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1438454917' post='2834666'] Something semi-acoustic. Possibly fretless. (I'd love philw's defretted BEX 4 but I really cannot find the cash...) [/quote] Currently GASsing for money. If you have any, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Although these may not be expensive, and although I have too many basses already, I've been GASsing for one of these lately [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-classic-vibe-p-bass-70s-black/101104?gclid=CJbX9ff2y8cCFRGeGwodIPMIjg"]http://www.gak.co.uk...CFRGeGwodIPMIjg[/url] They look fabulous I recently sold my Squier CV 60's P bass, in Fiesta Red (which was my backup for one of the bands I'm in) and bought a USA P - which is also lovely But I instantly regretted selling the Squier!! I missed the Squier so much, I went out & bought another, 2nd hand I know some folk won't believe it, but comparing the 2 side by side There's not that much in it, in terms of quality, comfort, playability & sound The US is a tad lighter weight, and only very very slightly punchier sounding..... Haven't played the 70's CV P in black yet - but I love the maple board, with blocks I saw one in the flesh a few weeks back, but resisted a try, as I knew I'd want it - it looked soooo good And if my 60's CV P bass is anything to go by - this 70's one will be a knockout! Is it daft? But as I have too many already, should I consider selling the US and buying one of these? My US is near mint, and lovely - but I am always wary, taking a mint / near mint bass out gigging Since getting my RW Jazz, I'd never realised how liberating it is to take out a bass that already has some knocks & bumps Or even a mint Squier, as it's not such a big deal if one of these gets a ding, rather than a mint US bass Hmmmm..... EDIT: Or, as I'm a fan of Limelights, perhaps I should commission Mark to do a light relic version of this bass? Oh no! I really want one of these Squiers!

AndyTravis Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A Stingray 5. Why do the G strings have to be that close to the fingerboard edge? 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanNeedham Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Long term gas, that's a Fender Roscoe Beck 4. Fell in love with them many, many years ago and never had the money when one has come up. Short term is either a custom Maruszczyk (though I suppose that could be built to similar spec as the above) and the other is a carbon neck Status 4 string as the current (and previous) Fender basses where I live now are all over in terms of neck given the climate.

Rich Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 All I really have GAS for is a YOB Jazz. In the absence of a lottery win, that won't be happening so realistically it's a Limelight or other similar facsimile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Something like a Spector SSD NS-94 or maybe a Peavey C4 Zephyr NT - to my eternal regret I have owned a nice example of each and sold them on.
