Which bass would you still go for if you already had too many?

Did you go to the Union Chapel "Flat Earth" gig?
I'd love to have gone but it would have meant a stop-over & I couldn't get the following day off work.

A Status series II fretless five string to (sort-of) match my fretted four.

I know there have been a few around recently, but sadly i don't have a spare grand kicking about!

[JimD]

I did, and it was sooo good. You might be able to see the pics I took on Flickr if this URL works

Of-interest-to-bassists-that-night were Matthew Seligman (TD bassist in the 80's), Martin Mcaloon from Prefab Sprout, and Trevor Horn, but when Darren did the sequenced bassline from Hyperactive on his Status it was really "something-to-see".

I'd forgotten about that track! I used to play it in a covers band in the late 80s... took ages to get the bass part sounding right!

[Baxter]

A fender Coronado -

[Gust0o]

That dragon wing looks a little like the BC Rich Beast.

You'd lose an eye on either, mind

[Ian Savage]

If I end up gigging again, it'd ideally be with a Fender Aerodyne and/or a MusicMan SUB. I am a simple man of simple tastes

[yorick]

A lefty Geddy Lee....................................

[clauster]

Steinberger XL-2 for me please

[squire5]

Definitely a Slab Precision,in Butterscotch with black scratchplate.Oh yeah!

I now have my full complement of basses and it would be economically and matrimonially very bad to add to that BUT...

I have major GAS for the new [url="http://www.fret-king.com/venturasuper80car_spec.html"]Fret-King Ventura Super 80 Bass[/url]. And I haven't even tried one...

[Kongo]

[quote name='fender73' post='870737' date='Jun 18 2010, 01:01 PM']yamaha attitude for me please, sea foam green or Candy Apple Red[/quote]

Seconded, or a Urge II.
My P-bass is becoming more and more like an Attitude as we speak...a few features...actually ALL features on that bass will work for me 100%!
I want the Seafoam Green tho, even tho he plays Lava Red, Seafoam Green is the colour I associate...Black looks like any other P-bass (such as mine!)

[Jerry_B]

A natural wood finish T-40, or an unlined fretless '70s P bass.

[OutToPlayJazz]

KingBass Mk-II 5-string for me

[alanbass1]

Um, I think I would get another one of these:

Now I don't have to go find a picture to post. I want a Rickie- and no number of basses I might have (won't be anywhere near the magnitude of some of the quivers seen around here) would cause me a moment's hesitation. In fact I'd be ready to unload a few to make room. I had one, but learned a hard lesson! I'll be back, I am sure of it.

I want an older "S" series- no binding, set-neck, dots, curves, mono output. Color is less an issue. There I go: "I want"... glad my kids don't read this stuff!

[risingson]

I'm a Fender man myself, got a U.S Jazz w/rounds and an old P-Bass w/flats. Always wanted a Sadowsky but since I got back from Rudy's NYC I've wanted one of these:



F-Bass BN5! Don't know many 21 year olds with £2000 lying around though, which is what I need

[Chris2112]

For me, it has to be a Status Kingbass. I know my Kubicki will cover all my headless, modern sounding needs (ie: all I want from a fretted bass!) but I still want one. I'll get one someday!

[Huw Foster]

Too many basses?

I fail to understand.

This is the right attitude.

[Chris2112]

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='870270' date='Jun 17 2010, 09:52 PM']Got 9 basses, but will be offloading some soon due to lack of space,& not using enough.
Answer to the question has to be , a Kubicki ex factor,a headless zon, steinberger trans trem..
better stop now [/quote]

Well played - I don't think I could make do these days without a Kubicki Ex Factor, they are just too cool. This thread has also made me take note of the bassline to "Hyperactive" by Thomas Dolby for the first time, and I'll be setting out to learn that bassline over the next few days, it is incredible.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='872300' date='Jun 19 2010, 11:46 PM']KingBass Mk-II 5-string for me

[/quote]
+1 but customised with a deeper lower cutaway so the 24th fret can be reached, soapbars and headless....

...or I could do something with the 10 or so Steinberger necks I still have sitting around at home here...

[Steve_nottm]

Don't "need" another bass at the moment, however.......

Fender Jazz, all original 1973, Red with matching headstock, block inlays.
I think i'd have to sell a child or 2 to get that if it came up for sale, but i'm not sure I could resist.
