pmjos Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The deed is done. This is my funeral bass. I call it that because if my wife finds out what it cost she would kill me. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:244191] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I've had far too many dreams! Takes a few go's before you realise a dream is not the same as reality. Anyone found their "perfect" bass...........and kept and used it for eternity yet? Edited November 2, 2017 by Dazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimmyc Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 As a lefty all I can do is dream.... maybe a pearl white/black neck Duff Signature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1509568379' post='3400021'] Yup. Specifically a refinished 64 P bass belonging to a friend. He's owned it since '68. Chances of it ever being mine are, let's say, slim... [/quote] That specific 64 or do you think any 64 would do it for you?

DarkHeart Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I own my dream bass and its my avatar and still, I think, the only 5 string Cobia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hard to say since it's the only one I've played Mark - they don't grow i trees round here I'm afraid to say! I was pretty impressed with the '66 I played in Rudy's on honeymoon in NYC so probably any decent one of that kind of era... Money is the only (rather large) barrier...

Pow_22 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 A Rickenbacker 4005 in jetglo or the 70's P bass Baz Fratelli plays in the Fratellis (think its a 74, black, thumb rest on E string side, walnut cap at headstock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think there's probably a difference between one's dream bass and one's perfect bass. I probably own my perfect bass/basses with my custom Maruszczyks, but I've always lusted after a Mk 1, Wal, fretless. However, given that I'm not great with heavy basses, this might not turn out to be what I've dreamt of, but I'd be happy to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Think I've found mine, and not expensive either. US SUB 5 I got from Bagsieblue Rather than a dream bass, I think it's the first bass I've owned where I've not wanted to change anything. Maybe I've grown up at last😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a few pre-CBS before getting mine and there was def. variance between them. Mostly it was tonal tho - the necks broadly felt pretty similar. You considered doing a parts build and having something which is pretty much a 64 spec? The two PJs I'm doing at the mo are exact copies of 64 necks - some well chosen parts and you'd get 80% of the way there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
