Woodinblack Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Like all those lists - someones opinion of some basses and hunted around to get to 100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Are there 100 [i]different [/i]basses in the world..? Let's see now... 1 - 'P' type 2 - 'J' type 3 - 'M' type 4 - 'R' type 5 - 'S' type 6 - Hollow-bodied Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Well worth a look and some very interesting stuff on there. It's nicely researched and laid out, enough info to be interesting, not enough to be boring. My top 100 would be very different but I bet everyone could say that!

scrumpymike Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 My list would be more like 20, and the only ones I haven't managed to try yet are an Alembic EUB 1, a Rivoli (pref Chas Chandler's), one of those cute little Warwick s-s Corvettes, and (bizarrely, as I love 'em and have had lots of opportunities) a Ricky 4001.

Cuzzie Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I was a little underwhelmed by large portions of the list, you put a musicvox 12 but not a Hamer 12 string in there? No vintage Jazz? No JV Squier No Sandberg No Tacoma Thunderchief No BC Rich It's a difficult job I know, but some big omissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm afraid I'm filing this in the Yet Another Pointless List section. I think I'd be more interested if Scott came up with a list of 100 Songs To Play Before You Die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCsBass Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm sure they all sound like basses at the end of the day. What counts is the setup and the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicko Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Surely, even when you count the custom shop, there aren't 100 different colour options for a PBass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 That list is the most pointless one like it I have seen. He has included random custom order instruments as Vintage and collectable??? Just bizarre, I don't know who he is trying to appeal to with this list. Its honestly like they are all random choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I thought his Precision v Jazz one was pretty tentative. There was a slight difference but nothing a bit of tone tweaking wouldn't sort. Adjourns to specially strengthened Fenderista-proof bunker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
