EBS_freak Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I was just checking out the Vigier thread where @ped posted his Vigier. I've come to know that bass pretty well due to my mispent hours on basschat... but then it got me thinking... what are the basschat iconic basses... the ones that people instantly know who's it is as soon as people post a picture? Aka, "your bass has been nicked? - that wouldn't last long in a pawn shop without being reported to the owner" thread.

BigRedX Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Probably these: Although having said that the fretless 4-string is currently for sale so may not be mine for much longer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 @obbm’s blue Stingray five with graphite neck always struck me as a famous BC bass. I think it still belongs to a basschatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to think that if it ever got stolen the thief would be hounded for the rest of his life by a nationwide clan of sweaty hefty bass players 👍🏼 He’d end up sealed inside some old Trace cabinet in some damp rehearsal room. Probably. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Without blowing their trumpets for them (oooer Matron) but many of @Andyjr1515 and @Jabba_the_gut builds are instantly recognisable as their creations. I would say that both of my @Andyjr1515 creations (The Psilos and The Silk Bass) are known as mine along with my "Green Machine" Overwater. In fact,the ACG Harlot SC, now with Frank Blank, is equally well known though it has been own by several BCers.

Twigman Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'd like to think my Black Sterling 4HH with matching headstock and green scratchplate would be instantly recognisable as mine. I looked for ages for a black 4HH with a matching headstock. There seem to be very few in UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 As @TheGreek kindly mentioned it and as it does seem to be a bass that lots of BCers recognise and admire I’ll concede I may now be the lucky owner of a notable bass although I wouldn’t go so far as to call it iconic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing it when there was that bash somewhere under a bridge in Surrey I seem to remember. I had an OLP ray with status neck at the time and really liked your bass. You had it for a while didn’t you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
