I guess this would be the automotive equivalent to my Thunderbird,  a Ford Thunderbird. Designed by the same dude and apparently the car was inspiration for the bass.

Now which Yamaha is this?

Maybe my old Motion B, or a modern RBX?

[ezbass]

Depends which bass. My newest one would be this,

Car? Car? ... some witty heckler once asked me if I land fighter jets on it... 🤣

Ha! I always think a P is like a Volvo estate too, trusty and like a bit of a boat but always gets the job done.

I was also  going to pick a Volvo 850 Estate for my Mike Lull P bass, and a Mercedes AMG GT Roadster for my Sadowsky Jazz bass. And Me? Probably closer to a Morris Traveller.

An Oly white P bass copy built in Poland? It has to be this

Don't knock it. Those things last forever. I've been in a crash in one, straight through a hedge and in to a brook. It drove out and continued as if nothing happened.

German engineering, inspired by the classics but with a very modern approach. Not designed to be a speed demon, just exceptionally comfortable, versatile and will get you where you need to go.

Whilst driving home this afternoon I saw a fiat 500 that reminded me of a short scale stingray. Small, light coloured, nippy around town I guess (not having driven either). 

It got me thinking about what car would represent your bass? Is a P bass a lean sports car or a utilitarian people carrier? Is a jazz an SUV or a saloon? 

Bearing in mind I know very little about cars (and not much more about basses), what bass are you driving? 

I have a fiat 500 but in red with a soft top.

Maybe my bass for it would be headless

I know, right? My dad had a red one for 20-ish years. Only ever needed minor repairs. Between its boot and a trailer, it pulled 2 tonnes of strawberries/cauliflower/daikon through a ploughed field on a daily basis.

All my basses have been far more reliable and low-maintenance than any car I've come across.

This looks like a clueless somebody who has commissioned a custom bass... Sometimes a blank canvas is not in your best interest...

That's neither reliable nor low-maintenance.

My bass ...

... in my mind ...

... the reality, with me at the wheel.

My Wal's probably nearest to this:

Maybe I should start a parallel thread: what car is your bass playing style. I'm still on the training wheels/tricycle stage I think.. 

I have had a teacher, so mine is the Litespeed titanium tricycle.

My Rickenbacker would have to be a BMW or Audi, in that everyone else hates us!
