phil_the_bassist Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Now, I'm not talking about speccing up a ACG, a Shuker and a Overwater, but purely on aethetics and iconic imagery, what would your dream collection be? Mine would go something like this: Ric 400?, mapleglo with all the chrome mid70's Jazz in tobaccoburst with the chrome (check WoT's beauties) Fender Musicmaster [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52736"]like this[/url] Gibson EB-O, red with black pickguard MMSR5 with Birdseye maple neck (already got go team!) Steiny cricketbat of some description (also, already got) A Dingwall 5 A Magnum Ovation with the sliders for the EQ A BC Rich Warlock An Entwistle-esque Buzzard bass A Thunderbird or an Explorer A Chapman Stick That list went on a bit, but those are the basses I'd love to have as examples of great iconic designs Quote

Machines Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 For me: Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Fender Precision (3CS with red tort pickguard) Gibson Thunderbird Musicman Stingray (Cherryburst, white perloid pickguard)) Rickenbacker 4001 (Fireglo) Warwick Thumb NT5 Warwick Infinity NT5 Quote
bartelby Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I could narrow it down to 4 or 5 basses: Wal 4 string Wal 4 string fretless Wal 5 String Warwick Dark Lord Ibanez BTB676 oh, and a Steve Harris P... I think that'd make me happy Quote
Linus27 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I may be at my dream collection already which is, Lakland Darryl Jones Jazz Lakland Duck Dunn Precision Musicman Stingray What I would get to compliment that would be, Fender Telecaster/51 Precision Washburn AB40 Acoustic Bass Lined Fretless I would also get a an electric fretless but not sure which one at this moment.

BigRedX Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 If I was going to expand my range of available basses, I'd be looking at the following: Spalt Hybrid Norton Pagelli Ritter Raptor and probably another Gus (5-string fretless this time) Quote
