Dad3353 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Happy birthday, lad, and wishing you and yours many happy returns of the day I have all the basses I need - want - can play, excepting an Epiphone Jack Casady Signature, in gold. One day, maybe; one day... Quote
miles'tone Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Personally I would go for a '59 - '65 P bass if I could. Don't rule out pre CBS Fenders (if they float your boat)as they may not be of your YOB, but they certainly were around on your YOB. Quote
jazzyvee Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Since this is a dream situation, I would go for a custom series II alembic short scale 4 string bass with all the exotic woods and some custom electronics added in the mix. Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 If someone were going to buy me a bass I`d probably choose a Precision of some sorts. Why, when I already have three - well instead of getting something that I might not gel with, or something that I would most likely not use I`d want it to be a bass that I`d treasure and use often. I`d probably get a Road Worn Precision as I really like them. Quote
TrevorR Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Lozz, don't sell yourself short. Since this hypothetical person is hypothetically saying "Money no option" at the very least treat yourself to a Masterbuilt Custom Shop P bass... Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1456212010' post='2986566'] I would love a JG series Wal... In the unlikely event one of the 46 were to surface [/quote] Thanks for the reminder about selling mine Rob Quote
ead Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Trickier than I thought, my instant reaction was a 1960 YOB stack knob Jazz in 3TSB. On further reflection I think it might actually be to commission the very nicest passive bass I could think of; probably with two single coil pickups...as for the rest.... Quote
Dan Dare Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Many happies. Were I in your shoes, think I'd start visiting shops, trade shows, etc and just see what took my fancy, rather than deciding by name, reputation, lust and so on. When I found something that did it for me, I'd go for THAT instrument, not the same make/model. You know how variable bits of wood can be. Good hunting. Edited February 23, 2016 by Dan Dare Quote
bassbiscuits Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 YOB gets me 1974, which isn't a particularly classic year for basses, but I'd like a jazz bass from that year to go with my similar aged P. Or a custom shop P or J. That would make me a happy man, tho in truth I have enough basses for my needs already. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 An older Wal bass cause i just like them. My wife bought me my Overwater Custom fretless 6 string for my 50th. Maybe a fretted version would be nice Also fancy a Ric again. This could go on and on and on Dave Quote
Chaos Daveo Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Happy birthday I'm lucky I have my dream bass already my les paul oversized.Dont play it all the time but it feels special to me, get what makes you smile and makes you want to never put it down. Probably to simple an answer but there we go .. Quote
