What bass ...ON LOOKS ONLY...

[Dom in Dorset]

What bass do you think just looks good? You don't have to own one, or have even tried one. You don't have to like the way it plays or sounds.
I'm a T bird fan so you'd expect me to go for something a bit weird but here's my choice:

And the end view:

I just love the simplicity of the design, the jazz bass has a beautiful body but coupled with the black headstock....
It may not have the contoured body of the usual Jazz but there is something about that shape.

70s jazz in natural anyday,but with a badass on and an audere fitted.

That's a beauty! Is it the Duff bass? I'm in love with Lex Sadlers' white Warwick [url="http://www.alexissadler.com/gear.php"]http://www.alexissadler.com/gear.php[/url]

A Sei single-cut (series 1, I think)- something like this...

[Wil]

Has to be a P bass. Natural body, black pickguard, maple board. Sex!

[J3ster]

That Black Fender at the top is an Aerodyne isn't it? I very nearly picked up one of those last year. Beautiful Basses and good value too.

Any kind of Warwick Streamer - I just love the body shape.

Could you be a little more specific?

[Chris2112]

The Warwick Dolphin I find to be a very special looking bass. Truely an adventurous design but one that works very well! The old through neck ones with Bartolini pickups are brilliant, I must buy one some day!

I think maybe JLP forgot to mention the TI Jazz Flats.

[JTUK]

Simply for a good-looking bass..?? I think a Sadowsky Jazz is a very stylish bass and if you wanted to go up a level cosmetically, I think Sei J's or/and possibly Celinders.

For me, the Jazz design..and enhanced, IMV, by certain others, takes some beating.
I'd say Jazz=benchmark bass

That'll be the classic 'Spector' shape then

For me... it's a white Spector NS-2 all the way!!

Funny enough, I think my DJ5 looks great but i dont really like the tone so i guess its eligible for this thread.

I like this too and play it also.

[waynepunkdude]

ATM this one.

I can't believe how well it has come out.

Talking of laklands:

Beatiful in the same way that a Tbird isn't.

For Looks alone, T Bird, Buzzard, or a Ric

[silentbob]

Gotta be a headed Status for me, just love those angles.

[Golchen]

An old Fender Jazz sunburst is the look for me. Having said that, I only do 5 strings.

[thisnameistaken]

I really want a Univox Hi-Flier bass at the moment:

[RhysP]

In no particular order:

Gibson Thunderbird (old one with chrome hardware).
Rickenbacker 4001 (has to be black with white binding & scratchplate).
Zon Legacy.
Spector.
