Thunderthumbs Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 PED suggested we should have this thread in the other "whose bass would you want" thread. So I'll start the ball rolling. As I said in the other oddly enough.......psychandy's GB Spitfire. I bought my new EBS rig from Bernie Goodfellow the day before psychoandy collected that bass from him. So Bernie played it through my rig, and it sounds absolutely amazing.....as good as it looks (and boy is it beautiful). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hehe great! Hopefully some people will have the chance to steal said basses at the bash(es)!!! I will copy my answer from the other more general thread: Well my choice would have to be either Kiwi's Smith 5 and matching fretless (nice to have a pair, dontcha' think?) or the best thumb bass I have played owned by Trev (G77). I might also have whatever bass Lukeward2000 is brutalising currently (I lose track) so I could beat him with it! ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 One or may both of dangerboy's TB-2000 - like I said in the other thread I've got Travis Bean GAS. ped's fretless Vigier I would have also added Bassassin's Talbo B-135, but I have one of my very own on its way. It's in customs as I type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hmm, I have to admit I don't GAS for any *specific* bass, but I'd probably say Dood's Shuker 7... by quite a substantial margin I might add! The maple fretboard, the elegant inlay, the single cut AND the awesome colour. I'm a huge fan of stylish solid finishes, no need for fancy top wood!

Mr. Foxen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 No-one want my Wishbass then? Everyone I've met off basschat independently of anywhere else has said 'your the Wishbass guy'.

birdy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I was pretty impressed with bass_ferrets fretless GB but if you heard me play fretless you wouldn't let me near it :-) Other than that SlapHappyGarrys red stingray was a beaut and although I haven't seen it I would guess Jebo's CAR 66 Jazz is pretty special!

The basses mentioned above are either obscenely expensive and/or sentimental to the owner. If I had to choose, it would be Sparky's Martin because it's simple, natural, high quality and honest. And Pete's pimped squier, because it's humble yet versatile, and something that is worth watching the white finish to age.
