Coolest Basses ever!

My personal rule of thumb (que controversy)

The following things make your instrument uncool.

•Anything that is 'based' on an original design of something before is instantly UNCOOL! (ei a fender jazz clone, doesn't matter if the best luthier made it in the world its still an imitation yeah?)

•Anything that is small and ergonomically designed, for example any ibanez, most modern boring things.

•Anything with more than 4 strings.

•Anything with stickers on it.

•Signature models: why do some people spend countless hours and money trying to become Jaco or Marcus Miller, when you could be out doing your thing?!


Sorry everyone

Pretty sure there's one on e-bay at the moment.

At £118 so far.

Edit:- Ended at £200.

apart from all precisions- anything in monochrome, especially;

black Tbirds with white plates

black rickenbackers with either white or black plates as above

maybe a black and white stingray

white jazz with black or maybe tort plate


basically anything that may have been designed by a penguin...
