Lunatique Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) What are some of the most beautiful basses you've ever seen in your life? Let's fill this thread with them!

Deedee Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Now this could be tricky. Undeniably beautiful craftmanship doesn't always produce a thing of beauty. 4 Quote
Lozz196 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I’m fairly sure me posting a load of Fender Precisions & Jazzes isn’t the idea of this thread, but to me they are the most beautiful instruments ever made (though some colour schemes pass me by). 8 Quote
Hellzero Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 And I even have the original 1991 hard case that came with it... 7 Quote

Hellzero Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Yep, but the originals have something appealing and especially two fretless models : this A104F and the A105F. This one is number 62 and is in pristine condition. It will never leave me. Quote
Hellzero Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 And Rolf Spuler own Avalon guitars were so innovative more than 30 years ago... Quote
itu Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Jens Ritter has that kool looking white fretless. There is a green Alembic Essence in Reverb that looked nice and compact. The best Jazz ever has been a seafoam green (?) Pensa-Suhr. A dark brown unlined fretless Wal, was really fab. Atlansia may be a bit 80's, but different altogether. Steinberger, why not, industrial type. I like Overwater Original / C. Affirma is looking good. Oh so many basses, so little time. Quote
Lunatique Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 C'mon, post pictures! What's a bass porn thread without pictures? 😉 Quote
Chiliwailer Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) A well loved 1960 P Bass would be top of my list, as a thing of beauty, to have owned from new to reliced, @hiram.k.hackenbacker knows all about this other beauty which is even more stunning in the flesh.

Pinball Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I I think that this pickuard upgrade, made by the previous owner to my Eastman sidejack Vi lifts it into one of the most beautiful basses around catogory. It also has a pickup upgrade and sounds wickedly good. 😍😍 Edited March 22, 2020 by Pinball Quote
ead Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) This is a great thread, beauty will clearly be in the eye of the beholder but so what Just checking, but is posting a bass you own/have owned crass? Edited March 22, 2020 by ead Quote

ead Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 For people like me with limited intellect can posters please say what the bass is too? Quote

chris_b Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I bought the most beautiful bass in the world in 1969. My Fender Precision. It doesn't look quite so pristine these days. It went through a period of modding in the 80's, with MEC and Seymour Duncan pickups and ended up with Bartolini and a Bart pre amp. Made it a much better bass, at the expense of its vintage credentials. If I ever go back to 4 string basses this has a killer sound. . . . . . . . . . . . . Edited March 22, 2020 by chris_b 1 Quote
