wateroftyne Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Mine would look EXACTLY like this... ...but without the tone knob. I don't like complicated basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmickey Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sweet - there's something about a stripped down P-bass...... The escence of simplicity made even simpler........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 [quote name='The Burpster' post='200101' date='May 16 2008, 07:09 AM']I feel some of you are missing the point...... This is not a 'perfect bass' thread its a signature bass thread.... the two are not necassarily the same or even in the same street!!![/quote] So presumably your signature bass is the bass you are most associated with? For me, that would probably be a fretless 4-string Warwick Thumb NT. I think having my signature (such as it is) inlaid in MoP (or MoTS) into the front would be quite tasty too. Dammit, [url="http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2001/Jack-Bruce-Bass.html"]some bastard's beaten me to it...[/url] It'll have to be the Tony Tsai 5-string then.

7string Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I had that done as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Amount of time I spent thinking about this... Then realised the Attitude is a bit close, and I don't play nearly like Sheehan. P pup and neck humbucker, add through strung and maybe 35" scale to cope with the tuning down to A and still have some string tension. Notch in the headstock for the on the cab feedback moments. Wooody finish, maybe walnut and purpleheart. Total low end madness and not much else. This is pretty close: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A good question this.... Mine would be ..... Lakland USA Joe Osborn Jazz Neck, (far nicer than the Korean JO's and DD's) Birds eye maple fretboard, NO Headstock & made thru neck into a Rickenbacker shaped body. Status individual tuners. Music Man Pick Up at the Bridge and Lindy Fralin Jazz Pick Up near the Neck. Black Body Mirror Pickguard. And Made by Mike at Zoot Bass / Bass Merchant (does the plug get me a discount) ? Would probably look horrible, but you did ask !! Failing that... the new slimline Status if they could match the JO profile Neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Id go for a Warwick myself. My Fortress seems to cater for my every need. I had an Ebony board put on and a hipshot D-tuner. Shes my signature for sure. Shes cowin' lush:) C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Resurrection of an old thread here, but as I've been playing them for nearly 20 years, a Status Series II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 only just seen this so.. money no object or not, a signiture bass is self indulgence and that is really the whole point, spend as much or as little on it as you want, it's YOUR bass after all. why have it like that, er because i can... simple me? not sure not had a massive experience with different basses, i'd like a warrick but with a thinner neck, or an ibanez SR but with a slightly larger body. or a stingray with a thinner laminate neck like the ibanez SR's. i'd really like a custom ibanez SR with like i said slightly larger body, graphite neck and maybe a humbucker in the bridge position but the soap at the neck and a figured top over the mahogany body, through neck if possible would be cool.
