Money no object...

[Noisyjon]

Hi Folks of Basschat,
For a bit of fun what would you have if money was no object and there was transport/roadies?
Let's say a maximum of 3 of each items to 'keep it real'

I'd have:
BASSES:Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt P bass to my exact spec, Shuker Classic Jazz, EBMM Custom Made Stingray,
AMPS:Matamp GT200, Aguilar DB750, Thunderfunk 750A,
CABS:Tecamp 8x10, Mesa Boogie 2x15, Aguilar 4x12.

Your turn!

if i had unlimited money, none of the first 3 things i'd buy would be basses i'm afraid.

[Noisyjon]

Don't get too serious now Taity, c'mon what would you have bass gear wise?

[waynepunkdude]

Basses: Stu Hamm Urge, MM Stingray & Sadowsky NY

Amps: SVT 5 (got one ) SVT 2 & 400+ (hopfully in 6 months)

Cabs: Tech Soundsystems 612

Effects: Sansamp

[EdwardHimself]

Basses: MM stingray 5 string black + gold, Peavey Cirrus 6 string flame maple in a bitchin' colour like green or something and an ESP 4 string bass.
Amps: it would have to be an SWR 1500 and Mesa boogie 400+ valve amp as well depending on what mood i'm in
Cabs: SWR 8x10s and maybe that big bertha 2x18 that they used to make just for the fun of it!
FX: Some boutique valve distortion that sounds amazing.

Fender Custom Shop all the way, I would be having an autotuning system similar to that of the Gibson Les Paul Robot in a carved stainless steel with Sims Custom Shop LED's along the neck.

[Jobiebass]

My Shuker, similer shuker with MMJ pickups with blue flamed top, Bongo 4H with a ray neck (or unpainted neck like a ray)
im happy with my rig. Ampeg SVT3 pro - 610hlf cab.

[JimBobTTD]

I'm not in a band right now, so I'll decide the amps and cabs when I win the lottery. They'd most likely be GK, though.

For basses, I'd hunt down another Ibanez SR1205 and also get a custom one made. No idea what to do with the third choice. I suppose I'm fairly happy with my gear. I'd like a band more than a new toy!

[TDM]

Basses: Sadowsky Modern 5 string, Bongo 5HH in White, my Green Spector but with higher grade quilted maple wings. Either that or I'd have a few Ritters because they're worth the most. But that's like asking a genie for unlimited wishes isn't it?

Amps: Old SVT, Mesa 400+, Warwick Hellborg preamp+poweramp

Cabs: That huge Ampeg from NAMM (I'd like to see unlimited roadies manage with that one!), The biggest Mesa cab I can find to go with the 400+, Matching Warwick cabs to go with the Hellborg

Effects: REDDI, a nice compressor and a Boss GT10B/Pod X3 live (Because I'm simple like that )

haha i meant it jokingly.

it depends, if i have to get rid of all my basses first i'd get my taitycaster back. can i have customs? if so i'll go for -

-a jon shuker with a jaguar shaped body, olympic white, black pickguard, J/MM pickups, rosewood fretboard and a 3 band EQ (obvs i'd go into more detail on the spec, but thats the basics)
-a 2 band EQ stingray, either black/black/rosewood, white/black/rosewood or maybe some sparkly colour with a pickguard and fretboard material according to what colour
-a CIJ 70s RI precision in vintage white with black pickguard, simply because my dad has one and its just a perfect all rounder bass. you could pay it for any kind of music and it works, and looks cool. CIJ because i'd be worried about damaging a MIA one, and i dont think theyre worth the extra money at all, even though you said moneys no object.

In all seriousness, My JV precision, a jazz (?) that's as good as the precision (not too bothered about brand, as long as it feels & sounds as good and has single coil pups) A double bass that's not cheap and nasty. One like the house bass in the Jazz cafe in Oslo. Don't know the make as there's no marks anywhere.

Amp wise... can I have an SVT pro IV and a Little Mark III please.

Cabs... Once I've finished building these BFM's I should be sorted thanks all the same.

[Hector]

Well, if money were no object I'd just keep buying basses and gear! I guess I'll just list what comes to mind first.

Fodera Imperial 6 Fretted
Ken Lawrence Brase 6 Fretless
Sadowsky NY PJ 4
A couple of sweet uprights too and some good bows, with some nice pups and maybe a nice mic too.
An EUB.

Ampwise, I'd go for my current rig --> Markbass Little Mark II and Aguilar GS410. Some sweet little cab as well for smaller gigs, not sure what. A couple of nice DI's, maybe a radial one.

[lee4]

Basses;a copy of my Status Groove,a P-bass special,a headless Steinberger cricket bat type thing.
Amps;heads by Markbass,cabs by Zoot,but about 800w.
Other gear;a Guiness roadie,a driver a Bentley,and a curry chef on 24 hour callout.

[iamapirate]

erm, has no one mentioned the original P or J? Surely that would be worth having!

[peted]

BASSES: I'm happy with what I've got now, so, Warwick Thumb BO 4 and my impending Shuker Custom
AMPS: Warwick Jonas Hellborg
CABS: Warwick Jonas Hellborg

Money would have to be absolutely no object to get that backline!

[BB3000S]

If money were no object I'd quit my job to give me more time to play the ones I have.

[b]Basses[/b]
Two really great vintage Fenders, P&J
Masterbuilt Fender Marcus Miller Jazz
Status S2 Classic
Status Kingbass Black Beauty
Status Kingbass Retroglide
+ a couple of 80's Statii
F-Bass BN5
F-Bass Alain Caron
Pedulla Buzz

the list goes on forever...
[b]
Rig-wise [/b]I'd probably go with
Aguilar DB751 + a bunch of Aggie cabs (DB-810, DB-210+115, GS-212x2, GS-112x2)

and to see what the fuzz is all about the Hellborg stuff from Warwick.

[4000]

My '72 Ric, another exactly the same and a Series 2 Alembic built to my spec that weighed under 9lbs (preferably under 8); it would've been a Triple Omega but having had one it wasn't manageable weightwise.

Amps; hmmm, not sure. One of the original Trace 8x10 250w combos, an EBS TD650 with matching cabs, and possibly an early Marshall Superbass with some decent 15" or poss 4x10 cabinets ( a couple of Compacts might do).

Edited August 15, 2009 by 4000

[WarPig]

Basses: 75' Fender Jazz, Natural with Maple neck and black blocks.
Warwick thumb fretless 6 NT
Les Claypools 4 string CT with trem.

Amps: Ampeg SVT 2Pro x2 (one clean, one dirty)
Ampeg SVT 810e x2 '' '' '' ''

Numerous effects, mainly based on Tim Commerfords.

Edited August 15, 2009 by WarPig

[Tusknia]

Pino Palladino Custom Shop but strung with Rounds.
And a Macca Rickenbacker for backup.

Bi-amp:
Aguilar DB751 --> Aguilar DB810.
Mesa/Boogie 400+ --> Aguilar DB412.

My Board would consist of every MXR bass pedal, a cryababy and a tuner.

Edited August 15, 2009 by Tusknia

[Cat Burrito]

Bass - A mint all original 50s P-bass

Amp - Ampeg SVT3 pro - 610hlf cab

A beautiful custom made double bass

[MythSte]

Ooft, This could be fun... I'd probably do it in sets,

Set 1, 60's Sunburst P -> Aguilar DB750 -> DB410

Set 2, Sadowsky NYC Jazz -> Mesa 400+ -> Bergantino 610

Set 3, Ritter -> Thunderfunk 550 -> 2x EA whizzy 12's

Set 4, MM Bongo -> GK1001RBII -> 2x Schroeder 1212

Wow, this could go on forever...

[Noisyjon]

Like your style Ste!

I'm also surprised at the lack of old Fenders cropping up

[velvetkevorkian]

Basses: Fretted and fretless 5 strings- today I'll go for ACG single cuts I think- and a 7 string- probably a Conklin custom. All strung with Elixirs and with 13 pin outputs. If I can stretch slightly and go for a fourth, I'll have a nice handmade 5 string double bass, and if five isn't excessive, an EUB to match.

Amps: Not so fussy here. A light powerful power amp (since money's no object, I'll have a Powersoft please). A Pod X3 Pro (if the roadies are carrying it) or Live (if I'm carrying it) to act as a preamp.

Cabs: Again, light and powerful. Probably BFM designed, two 1x10s and a 2x10 so I could take 1, 2, 3 or 4 10"s as required. Or maybe one of Alex Claber's Barefaced cabs.

FX: Eventide Eclipse and a Roland V-Bass- together with the Pod X3 from amps, I doubt there's many sounds you couldn't replicate with this.

It will be all change in a day ot two though
