There are no polar bears on this island, OK? It's a proper desert island with sand and palm trees and stuff. If you don't all understand that I shall thcream till I'm thick. Quote
leftybassman392 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Cantankerous old farts rule! Oh, and it would have to be the Seibass Original headless 5 - since I've asked for it to go into the box with me when I shuffle off this mortal coil (after slackening off the strings of course...), it's only right that I just happen to have it with me when I'm shipwrecked.

Bilbo Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 As I have only really played one electric bass since 1986, it's a no brainer. My Wal Custom Fretless. Quote
mcnach Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Well, despite my P-bass love... it would have to be the Stingray. And desert island means it's deserted, as in no people, that's all Of course, it may technically cease to be a desert island once I arrive there, so that poses an interesting problem. Quote

[/quote] Perhaps, but who would be there to kick you out? Nobody, or it wouldn't be a desert island to start with. I suppose the point is that we can never go to a desert island. Well, we can *go* but we can never set foot on it. This then renders the current thread pointless. So, if we're playing like that, stuff that one bass rule, I'm taking three: the Stingray, a Precision and a Jazz. I'll worry about amplification later Quote
