doctorbass Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Keith Fergusons 51 Precision - used on all the early Fabulous Thunderbirds stuff. Same bass, restored, refinished and still being gigged! Edited June 16, 2009 by doctorbass Quote
Clarky Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I also covet BC's very own tombboy's 'Old Blighty'! A Union Jack-bedecked Sandberg. Mmmmm .... [attachment=27212:blighty.jpg] Edited June 16, 2009 by Clarky Quote
OldGit Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 [quote name='The Bass Doc' post='515451' date='Jun 16 2009, 04:39 PM']That was a Fender Jazz - with flatwounds on!!! Read it in an old interview in Bassist mag many moons ago. (or it might have been Beat Instrumental).[/quote] Ah now you come to mention it ... several takes on the Danelectro with its round wound strings, a few broken strings put the Danny's out of action (no strings available) and a final take on the Jazz. I remember that issue as I found out that both My Generation and Wishbone Ash's Argus were both done on a Jazz when for years I'd has GAS for thunderbirds to get "that" tone Quote
OldGit Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 [quote name='Soulfinger' post='515764' date='Jun 16 2009, 09:18 PM']That one would be on my list, along with the P bass of George Porter,[/quote] +1 Quote
funkypenguin Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 The Doodle!!! Two of the basses John Myung has noodled on, the Bongo 6 and the Tung Wingbass II 6 string both tickle my fancy Quote
Bassassin Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I've never been particularly covetous of other peoples' gear ( except when I was a kid & couldn't afford owt) but I have a soft spot for Dennis Dunaway's EB-0 Frog Bass: [attachment=27220:dunaway_frogbass.jpg] And his '72 Jazz: [attachment=27221:dunaway_jazz.jpg] I probably wouldn't play them - just put them on the wall & make occasional blood sacrifices.

Johngh Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Geddy's twin neck Ricky. Preferably the white one ! Quote

barry44 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 [attachment=27230:25665692...13e8b7e0.jpg] for me, it would be Klaus Fluoride's 66 jazz. now that's what i call reliced!! Quote
josh3184 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 whatever it is I've got my eye on currently (won't mention one specifically as it'll probably have changed by the time you read this post ) Quote

Leowasright Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 John Paul Jones's Fender Jazz Or a 65 Jap reissue Jazz, which cannot be gotten here But I'd really like Kossoff's Les Paul (OFF TOPIC) Quote

4000 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Lemmy's original Ric, the natural one with the walnut headstock wings and TBird pickup. That bass taught me how to play. I'm not even sure it's still in one piece. Either that or JPJs BecVar 8 string, with Chris Squire's Ric third. Or Jamerson's bass, to sell.... Quote
4000 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 [quote name='barry44' post='516573' date='Jun 17 2009, 04:30 PM'][attachment=27230:25665692...13e8b7e0.jpg] for me, it would be Klaus Fluoride's 66 jazz. now that's what i call reliced!![/quote] Awesome. Quote
riff raff Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) whatever john paul jones played the solo fromm the lemon song on. or one of cliff williams 76 stingrays.sweet. Edited June 19, 2009 by riff raff Quote
Cat Burrito Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I don't know about a famous bassist's bass but I'd like an early 70s P-bass - I enjoy the fantasy / the hunt & am in no hurry to get it. I have a lot of flexibility in colour as it changes every week! Quote
Kongo Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Les Claypool's Rainbow Bass HANDS DOWN that's what I would have! Nothing more, nothing less...Just the Rainbow Bass. Wonder how much it will sell for when the day comes...y'know...cause i'd sure like a chance at it! Quote
molan Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Very high up on my list would have to be Jamerson's P, Stanley Clarke's brown Alembic & Chris Squire's Ricky as all of these were massive influences on me, but all of these have already been mentioned. The one I'd just love to have hanging on the wall would have to be Bootsy's original Space Bass and an early Mu-Tron to go with it. Come to think of it - if I can add amps & cabs as well I'd kill to have even a nice replica of Jamerson's naugahyde Kustom tuck 'n' roll head & 2x15 cab, let alone the original Quote
