Jonesy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think I've got most of it down, but I'm not sure on the pups..... Jazzmaster body 32" scale 40mm at the nut Rosewood glossed board with mother of pearl blocks and binding Vintage frets Vintage tint glossed neck finish G&l hi mass bridge (with a chrome cover that comes with the case candy) When it comes to pups, it'd either be....... Rickenbacker 4003 hi gain single coils in the Ric position, but with a nicer chrome surround for the mid pup so there's not a massive gap around it. Or.... Chrome covered Gibson thunderbird plus pups (the ones that are in the Epiphone t bird classic pro) in the t bird positioning. Pup selector switch, v/v/t/t with a tone bypass switch. As for colours, I really love the 50s pastel colours with the offset body and, because I'm indecisive, let's run with 3 choices - shell pink, surf green and daphne blue. Tort guard as standard and a spare mint one gets chucked in. Just for extra gaudiness it comes with a grey faux snakeskin hard case with pink fur lining. Seeing as it's a bit of a mish mash of different basses, I have no idea who'd make it 🧐 I guess it leans more toward Fender, so let's say it's made in Japan, but I have no idea what the exchange rate is for Yen! Let's say there's a version that comes in at about £8-900 and then a Squier version without the case and extras etc for about £400. I really want this now that I've thought about it!

binky_bass Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Surprisingly I'd hope for Fender to make that call - their custom shop Tye Zamora through neck 6 string bass was pretty cool. Throw some buckeye on that, maybe a cheeky inlay and side LEDs and I'd be happy! Other than that I'm fortunate enough to already own my dream basses. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - wasn't aware of that one. It's got the basic shape, but of course I'm thinking of something a lot more upscale. 💰💸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think it was the downscale-ness that I liked Simple one pup, vol, tone. Had a marvellous voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, bnt said: This might be weird, but here goes anyway ... I've always liked the look of the Yamaha SG-2000 guitar, and have sometimes wondered why they never made an equivalent bass, a SB-2000. So I would spec out a 5-string (SB-2500?) with a body of similar size or slightly larger, and a small headstock with lightweight tuners (since neck dive would be a risk). For electronics, I would want their nicest TRBX pickups, simple passive volume & tone for each , then to split outputs as on the Attitude. For woods and finish, I would look for something lighter than the SG-2000, maybe a quilted maple top or a light green tint. PS I might want to spec EMG soapbar pickups, such as the 40DCX at the neck and 40TWX at the bridge. 🤷🏻♂️ Edited October 25, 2021 by AndyTravis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Mine would be more-or-less my JV Precision. Maybe with a second option in Sonic Blue. I'd add a bridge cover and a tug bar too. Edited October 25, 2021 by Jono Bolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hmm … let’s see maple neck, 20 frets with dots body probably alder with some contours at the forearm one pickup, probably a split coil of some kind, silver knobs - like the look of knurled - maybe volume and tone just to be different Maybe painted in sunburst ? :🤔 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It'd probably be a Mustang: - Pickup modelled after the one in mine - 40mm nut - 7 ½" radius - neck shaped like a little p bass - maple neck, rosewood board (maybe ebony...) - gloss neck - mother of pearl inlays - vintage size stainless steel frets - 500k pots, 0.047uf capacitor - Hipshot ultralites with a drop tuner - Ash body with tummy and forearm contours - black grainfill on white cerused body, white grainfill on black cerused competition stripe - black three ply pickguard - thumbrest in 70s position - mustang bridge - thru body strung with D'Addario nickels It'd probably have to be a bit more than the JMJ Mustang because of the finish, but I reckon it'd sell well...

BassAgent Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) I'd have them remake my 1966 Jazz: very slim neck, aged olympic white, tortoise pickguard, threaded saddle bridge, dot inlay, neck binding, lollipop tuners and put some Fralin pickups in there.

Doddy Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Mine would be based on my main '95 MiJ Fender Jazz. Alder body Rosewood 'board Badass II bridge DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups Series/Parallel switch Bone nut Hipshot X-Tender key Dunlop Straplocks Lightly reliced, Crimson Red Metallic. I'd slim down the body slightly and add either an F Bass or Sadowsky preamp, and offer an Ash/Maple 5 string option to mirror my F Bass.

dudewheresmybass Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 a BC rich Wave with twin P pups. Neck thru (profile similar to my blue harris sig), and a 2 a side headstock. No inlays except a prisoner style unicyle across frets 11-13 Pups would be the ones that are found in my Fender modern player jag - Those pups are just perfect! badass/ babicz bridge, vvt controls, and side mounted jack socket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
