Chris2112 Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 [quote name='molan' timestamp='1320843978' post='1432133'] Vic Wooten Fodera for me - quite partial to the buckeye top models: if only they sold one that looked like Vic's original: [/quote] That is just stunning. I love the fact that over the years, Victor has only had the very most basic and remedial of work carried out on it. Vinnie always offers to refinish it for him, and he refuses! Quote
molan Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Realised I don't have many pics of my old '86 Monarch but's here's a couple of samples: Technically not a 'signature' as it was made before Fodera started classifying them as VW sigs Quote

krispn Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1320880428' post='1432833'] Another Dirnt fan here. Love mine. Fender really dropped a bollock I reckon. If they put it out with the classics and Road worns say as a sort of Fender CV/Modern player/ Pawn shop thing. With either Poly or the worn Nitro they would have sold bucket loads. Sadly too many people see the name and think "Greenday Bleaurgh" [/quote] Yeah I think it speaks volumes when Lakland have produced a version of the '50's P with split coil. I like that its a mismash of a couple of era's that still works. Mine had a lot of money put into correcting some factory faults (before I got it) all in about £100 - it shows and I love it all the more. I remember when it was first released and lusting after it all the more due to no distinguishing sig features. I agree that a pawn shop/ cv/modern player version would sell loads. A subtle change to the normal P and j reworks. I'm not even that big a greenday fan plus the early stuff was done on a ripper I think! Quote
LukeFRC Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 didn't the thumb bass start off as kinda a signature bass? Quote
Chris2112 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Yes, I believe so, the JD Thumb bass. Quote
Kelso Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I doubt this was ever a signature release but thought I'd post it anyway. Hope that's ok? Mr. Big is my guilty pleasure and Billy Sheehan is one of my all time favourite bassists. I think this bass is a stunner! Love the humbucker and single coil combo . . .

Von Death Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) [b]The Gibson Blackbird is the only signature bass I have ever bought.. I donmt even like Nicki Sixx or Motley crue. It looks as cool as ...... Dont particularly go for thunderbird sound... They are great for plec uswers tho.[/b] [b]My vote would go to the Dirnt model.... I would love a white one with a black scratchplate and rose neck. Edited November 10, 2011 by Von Death Quote
Ou7shined Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 LOL this thread is just a list of pretty much every sig bass ever. I wonder which one is the "nicest"? I might as well chip in Bob DeLeo's.... since it was probably him that kicked off the whole retro P look fad... Quote

rapscallion Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) No love for the Aria Steve Bailey sig? I'd love a jazz type 6 string. Edited November 10, 2011 by rapscallion Quote
charic Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Just as an excuse to post it again [sharedmedia=core:attachments:88443] RBX6JM Myung Bass on left I still need to get some new strings on it but it's a beaut to play Quote

fretmeister Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Warwick Zender sig. Nice shape even with the pickup being the wrong way round. Quote
