For some reason I'm much more excited by it when it was white than after he painted it red. Tommy Shannon's battered white Jazz Glen Benton's Red BC Rich Ironbird Davids Vincent's Hamer Tom Petersson and his Chandler Royal 12-string David Vincent’s Hamer was a real stunner. Sounded awesome as well. the glen benton stealth was the one for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el borracho Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) There were two basses in 1982ish made a big impression on me, both white Precisions with tort scratchplates. Gerry McAvoy & John McCoy. I really wanted a white P bass with tort scratchplate. I never did get a white one! Probably quite uniquely on this thread, I could at the moment buy one of these basses. John McCoy's actual bass is up for sale (if I had £7.5k) although it has changed a bit assuming it's the same one.

itu Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Where's Billy Sheehan? Stan the man? Phil Lesh (Modulus, Alembic, Ritter...)? I love those experiments, not so much the basic models while talking about "signatures". Stingray is a Stingray. And after saying this, the Pensa-Suhr of the late Victor Bailey looks good, while I do not like the maple colour of MM's bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Saw Jethro Tull last night, and noticed that David Goodier is playing a Fender Jazz Bass. I'm not sure of the exact model, but it had a Badass type bridge, natural finish under clear poly, and looked rather blummen tasty. Lemmy's Rickenbacker. Phil Lynott's Precision with the mirror scratchplate. Geddy Lee's 72 Jazz. Edited September 22, 2021 by Bassfinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the 1st lockdown last year someone on facebook was selling a black Integra DLX for £85. It was an hours drive from me, I ummed and aahhhed about it. When I contacted the seller it had gone. Had there not been a lockdown I'd have been contacting the seller as I was driving over.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 For me, it's someone playing an iconic signature bass of another iconic bassist Martin Mendez of Opeth and his Fender MIJ Marcus Miller signature were one of my main reasons for picking up playing bass. His playing and his tone on the Blackwater Park album really struck awe with me, especially that rumbling bit of overdriven slap bass in the title track. I had been playing guitar for a few years when that album came out and I think I had just bought my first bass (but I'm not sure, it's been 21 years!) and this album inspired me to play it a LOT. He and drummer Martin Lopez brought a unique groove to the band that's been slightly lost since Martin Axenroth (no, I don't think being named Martin is a prerequisite to join, but it definitely seems to help) took over drum duties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he went back to his Hofner and has stayed with it ever since. I've always wondered whether he stays with the Hoffner more for aesthetic reasons and fans nostalgia rather than it being the best bass for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I watched a clip of him playing his BB, I was knocked out by the tone. Second time I watched the same clip, I noticed that he didn't seem to be enjoying how far away frets 1 to 5 were.
