skankdelvar Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I don't want one at the moment, but were I in the market for a twin-neck: [size=1]EBS-1250F Complete with onboard fuzz[/size] Edited October 26, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote
BassBus Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Someday I'll have a fretted Status S2 with a rosewood face on it. That would compliment my Quilted maple S2 frteless beautifully. Quote
Metal-Mariachi Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Well this arrived Saturday. [attachment=35207:Jag2.jpg] [attachment=35208:Jag1.jpg] The bursts weren’t available in the U.S. until recently, only hot rod red and boring black. Now waiting for my TI Jazz flats and Hipshot A bridge to arrive, and maybe (probably) a pickup upgrade too. MM Quote
ped Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Nice, looks great in sunburst, and I normally don't like sunburst at all!! ped Quote

Linus27 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I would like one of these, a Warwick Streamer, However, I doubt I could afford it so I may put this on my list, a Warwick Corvette, However, I probably won't like it if I get one but I think they look nice and I won't be able to kill the GAS until I get one Quote

My personal feeling is they look much nicer than the Streamer. Don't let them skinny little pups fool you either, they can cause earthquakes and flappy trousers. They can out-thump a Precision with the right set up. My new 2009 active 'vette STD fretless in honey stain was £671 on Thomann which is a very good price, plain waxed unstained body should be even cheaper. The ebony fingerboard on mine is particularly lovely. Edited October 26, 2009 by silddx Quote
ezbass Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Sterling By Music Man Ray34 in Honeyburst. Selling stuff here on BC to try and finance the purchase. Quote
Dubs Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I've been GASing for various Black/Maple P Basses recently. Something like this Sandberg would send my GAS into overdrive... Quote
WonderHorse Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Two basses for me. Both at opposite ends of the price scale. Yamaha BB414X, black with black scratchplate I think.. Or maybe white with black scratchplate. Or orange... Any really, I think they all look really good and going by reviews are really good for the money. 70's Fender Precision fretless. Quote
EssentialTension Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yesterday, I spent the day in London - mainly in clothes shops with Mrs Tension and I have to say she was looking good on the money [s]we[/s] she spent. Anyway, I did drag Mrs T down to Denmark Street where, in Macari's, I played a Squier Classic Vibe Precision in sonic blue. Played acoustically it was excellent and in my opinion beat the olympic white Classic Vibe Jazz that I also tried. I asked to try it amplified and got plugged into some tiny Marshall combo. It sounded awful. I told the guy 'Either the amp is s**t, or the bass is'. He plugged me into a slightly bigger but same range Marshall combo. It was louder but not better. From other reports here on the Classic Vibe basses, I suspect it was the amps. Also, the price was £50 (i.e. 20%) higher than at GAK in Brighton where I'll be checking one out through a proper amp later this week. So my bass of the moment is the Squier Classic Vibe Precision in sonic blue. Quote
BassAgent Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I once owned this. It was way too good for its price. I sold it to afford my Cobelens & de Bruyne custom bass. I want one again! So my bass of the day is a Blade B1. Availability second hand: none. Quote
marcus bell Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 the bass of the moment for me is the bass that im going to do in the future. Im going to combine the body of my fretless jazz and the fretted neck of my other squier im getting the one with blocks in it. Then im going to update the tuners and get an audere preamp in there. Gotoh 201 bridge and black scratchplate. Or just leave them both standard not sure yet! But i do want to make a bass for all occasions and i think this would be ideal the other basses im loving at the moment are both on youtube. One is the jazz bass this bass player whos name escapes me for the moment on fourplays night rhythms. It has a preamp of somekind and has a control plate and scratchplate as one. Black with maple dotted neck looks and sounds great also put into youtube darryl williams and check out his video on a blue low end jazz bass. It sounds heavenly! Honestly! Xx Quote
xgsjx Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Ritter Roya's tick the "make me drool" boxes for me, especially if they're made of wood that looks like it would give you splinters. Quote

solo4652 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Here's my current favourite bass: [attachment=35332:Stingray_1.JPG] Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Here're a couple of others on my radar at the moment... Oh, and the one I'm picking up today... Quote
bh2 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I'm going to have to leave this thread... I've not the wallet nor the stomach. I should enjoy what I've got for now. Boring! Quote
