FelixGubbins Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Personally, I love the look of a deep red Jazz with a black scratchplate, classic beauty, or a sunburst 4001. Already got the Ricky, just need the Jazz now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 For me the coolest basses ever would have to be more than just a bass, and would have to have some history. So Macca's Hofner, the P that Simonon is tring to destroy on the London Calling cover, Jaco's jazz, Bernard Edwards MM, the bass Lynott did his last gig with... etc...

Dood Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Well, if anyone saw my Facebook ramblings today, it's this prototype beauty: Made by Andy Guyton of Guyton Guitars in Suffolk for Brian May. or at least a production model of - this one was at the London Bass Guitar Show: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 G&L ASAT thin line Gretsch White Falcon Gibson T-bird (bicentennial preferably) Rick 3001 Anything from the 80s with a pointy headstock and P/J config. Not on my cool list are Singlecuts (even though they're amazing to play) Headless basses (as above) Status streamline/stealth/S2/kingbass (as above) Warwicks (as above) How fickle is that though? I think it stands to reason that basses that don't dislocate your shoulder, balance well, sound great and in some cases even look great just aren't fashionable, instead we'd all rather walk around with our left knuckles dragging across the floor, not being able to reach past the 12th fret (not that we really need to) and never ever playing an instrument designed after roughly 1975 just in the pursuit of being cool. Seems more than slightly Guitarded to me. I thought as bass players we were meant to embrace new technology and design and not be stuck in the past with our cumbersome P-basses valve amps?

I e-mailed Gibson to see if they'd make me one, and they laughed at me. So eventually i'll buy one and get a refin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
