BigRedX Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I don't really get the whole signature instrument thing, but there's two I like the look of: 1. Yamaha BJ 5B. This is the signature bass for Terry and the Blue Jeans - a Japanese surf band. It's also the only way of getting a Yamaha SBV bass in a 5-string version. 2. Reverend Rumblefish Brad Houser sig. I had to look up Brad Houser on Wikipedia to find out who he was an d what bands he's been in. I don't like any of the one's I'd heard of (New Bohemians) but his signature version of the Reverend Rumblefish bass is a truly marvellous thing.

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Another one here for not being keen on sig models but the quality of the Yamaha Nathan East BBNE2 is sublime by any standards. Its not even my type of bass but it just has something others dont when you see it in the flesh!

I also dig Brad Houser's playing,especially with Critters Buggin. It's a shame that Reverend discontinued them-apparently they only made 79. I've got 3 signature basses- a Fender Marcus Miller,a Yamaha Attitude,and an Ibanez Gary Willis. They're all really good instruments in their own right. If money was no object I'd probably opt for a Fodera Tom Kennedy model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) BBNE2. And yes, I did have one. In black... and wish I still had it. However, this man is currently looking after my signature bass... Edited December 13, 2010 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a nice 5-string JJ model (5XL I think it's called), but on the whole I prefer the sound of humbuckers which is why I'm after the BH model. I keep trying to buy one when they occasionally turn up for sale on TB, but no one ever seems to want to ship one out of the US :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm not a fan of signature basses because they are signature basses, or because someone's endorsed them. However I am a fan of the Fender Urge Mk1 (Stu Hamm), mainly because it is a decent 32" scale bass that I could afford (Second hand).

[/quote] NOW THAT IS MORE LIKE IT ANDY! haha, My vote goes for the Sheehan! (three years of school boy savings!) And the No longer made Yamaha JM1 and JM2 basses, absoluetly stunning, That really started my thing for yamaha, the Nathan east is fab too, and i WISH they would start selling the James lomenzo haha! Also, Doods one of signature bass? haha is rather awesome too I love signature instruments, not sure why though! loads of signatures i like from people i don't like much or have even heard of! Like, i love the geddy lee jazz (not a rush fan!) and i really like Bill Dickins Conklin custom 7 string! Who i had never heard of, (speaking of conklin the GTBD-7 is awesome, wish i could afford the one on here for sale! and the old Jean Baudin signature is great!)

Johngh Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Status Kingbasses are brilliant. I'd love another one, but this time a 5 string. Geddy Jazzes are excellent as well, wish I'd kept mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to hunt you down Karl.[/quote] I met a guy in the states with 21 One of every Attitude ever produced! as well as one or three signed unplayed ones, and a few doubles of his favourite year ones, I would do alot for one of the blue ones with the white older Model one, (not perloid) with the pink inlays and capacitor switch, they are KILLER, though i prefer the newer neck, Also love the older sea foam green ones (minus the lead electrics, unlike the new ones, which use silver and like mine!) with the perloid pickup cover, though the new ones are cool, and mine has a fancy logo on it I adore Billys custom one with both pickups perloid, LEDS (i believe? even though i am NOT a fan of Leds in a bass) and a laser thingy in the head stock <3 That was a nice fantasy rant Edited December 13, 2010 by AttitudeCastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't live without them, I am saving up to get all my basses scalloped, (and i am going to try scallops along the entire neck on my P-bass! and that includes my 6 string, and doesn't inclue the Attitude! haha) I feel like a thread stomper/hijacker Sorry guys!

minkey1980 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 I see that they do a Stu Zender signature model with Warwick - its a bit dull though, I always thought his was decorated in the Jamiroquai (spelling?) native colours.....great bassist though.
