dmccombe7 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1509867120' post='3402116'] Lucky enough to play mine! [/quote] Gorgeous finish on that WAL. Think its one of the nicest i've seen. Very nice. I could go for one of those if they weren't so expensive. Hard to justify these days.

discreet Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 [quote name='squire5' timestamp='1509804720' post='3401768'] This. And only this. My dream bass. Slab Precision. [/quote] Nice.

BigRedX Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm lucky enough to own mine already. I had been lusting after a Gus since I first saw the prototypes sometime in the 80s, and back then they weren't even making basses. I decided that if I found myself with enough disposable cash I'd treat myself to one. Now I have 3 (and a G1 Guitar). At some point I would like to swap the 4-string fretless for a 5-string version, but for now these are fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delius Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I would rather like a Ritter R8. Although for gigging sometimes I'd like something that plays & sounds Ritter-ish but has a more traditional look. I have no idea what that would be though.

[/quote] He had the guitar version which he apparently played at least once. He had a bass on order, but he died before it was completed. http://youtu.be/e2wjMnMpaR4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I would love a Ken Smith Black Tiger 5. Played one once and it was the most luxurious bass I've ever played, just perfection! This one was apparently at Bass Direct Edited November 9, 2017 by OliverBlackman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 A late 80s 2EQ Stingray, Honeyburst, maple neck with a light flame. Still miss my 88 Black/Maple Ray (Paul - if you ever want to sell let me know?) but love Honeyburst. Just ahead of a heavily beaten up early 60s Sunburst P bass (Martyn Casey from the Bad Seeds owns my dream P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevsy71 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 This for me - custom shop '64 - neck and tones are exactly to my taste, as is the colour :). I'm trying not to look at the Ken Smith above as 5-string GAS is the last thing I need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 A pre-CBS Fender Precision - Black, tort scratchplate, rosewood fingerboard - all original. or an early 70's one in the same colour etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
