LowB_FTW Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 A Status T-Bass 5-string. Preferably wood neck, but the graphite would do. I don't need or want another jazz bass, but if one of these came up for sale tomorrow in the right price bracket, well I have the money in my account for one so it'd be a very quick deal.

lksmks792 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This. I've no need for either a headless or another fretless bass, still find myself looking at these every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not practical for me as can only do short scale basses nowadays but love the look of these. https://www.charvel.com/gear/shape/san-dimas-bass/pro-mod-san-dimas-bass-pj-iv/2963068595 I tried one of these; really nice, however I just couldn't get on with the compound neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Alembic Spyder 8 or 10 string (if there is such a thing) but i don't have and gigs where it would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 5 hours ago, Cato said: I've one these in the basket a couple of times now and just about managed to talk myself out of it. I think they're beautiful but oddly it's the budget price tag that puts me off. You can get them for under £300. I'm not a gear snob and own and play a couple Squiers alongside more expensive instruments but I just worry that this is going to turn out to be not as nice as the stuff I've already got. Also they're big and I'm running out of guitar/bass space. I've had my eye on one of these for ages, it's even made it to my ebay saved searches. When I foolishly decide to get one, I'll let you know if it's worth having. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I want the modern updated look alike of my first decent bass, a heavyweight 1975 Jazz bass. A Fender Pro II Jazz in black with a rosewood board, blocks and binding, weighing around 8 1/2 lb.... but I can't pay custom shop money.

In retrospect, I wish I'd bought it, good or bad. The gunmetal blue and black looks incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurroundedByManatees Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Early 90s stingray with maple fretboard. I can totally imagine myself buying one in a moment of weakness, while I know I will prefer my Modulus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic bass and Maton JB4. Even if I could find one of either for sale I couldn't afford them, but a lifelong obsession with the Violent Femmes makes me still want them!

I've no need for either a headless or another fretless bass, still find myself looking at these every so often. One of these is on my list as well but more of a case of taking on a new challenge as I only play fretless but never owned or play a 5 string before.

Linus27 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 For me it would be these two basses. However, I only play fretless so I have no need for either and they would just sit under the bed collecting dust.

HMX Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Peavey T40 - I’ve heard they’re heavy basses? I’m not a big enough guy to be encumbered with that weight on my shoulder. Gibson Grabber - prohibitively expensive and they look like solid chonks too. But they just have that allure. They look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
