[/quote] MIA Fender Precision Sound - just a classic sound, can be made either warm and rounded, or hard and punchy, from classic Motown to aggresive punk. Either way though, it always provides a great foundation for the rest of the band. Quality - Fenders are virtually indestructable - drop one off the Empire State Building, you only need to worry about the pavement. Playability - easy to play, despite the chunky neck. Other features - the P-Bass is a classic, be it first (51) or second (57) generation. Not the flashiest looker, not got the most features, but its reliability is known worldwide. Easy to get a good sound from. Its simplicity is what makes it what it is - a simply great bass. Quote
Randy_Marsh Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Warwick Corvette 96' Sound Typical Warwick growl which i love Awesome slap sound Quality Brilliant throughout.... well it is german Playability Gorgeous slim Wenge neck which is so much nicer than the new style necks Other features Looks cool IMO Quote
CHRISDABASS Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Wait for it..........................Sadowsky They do everything i could ever want a bass to do and more! They fit me and my needs perfectly! Quote
0175westwood29 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 my modulus fb4 is everything i want! plays awesome! sounds amazing! and never goes out of tune! so good i want another one! andy Quote
Chris2112 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 For me, it would be my Kubicki Ex Factor. I had one when I was 16 and sold it when I was 18 and realised I'd made a huge mistake. Fretted basses just don't get better than that! So I bought another one. My first was #1777, my second is #1659, both made in 1989. Incredible tones, fantastic playability, looks incredible - whats not to like? It's also a classic example of 1980's over-engineering and is far more technically advanced than 99% of new designs today! I love all the little features it has, like the 36 laminate neck, the scooped pickup covers, the headless design - brilliant. It also always gets admiring glances! Plus, having been played by Stuart Hamm, I know that it can do anything I want it to, and so I'll never blame my lack of ability on the bass! Quote

[/quote] Not fair! Wanted an F-Bass ever since I tried one out in NYC this April. Not into boutique basses but I would snap an F-Bass up no doubt. Haven't actually got a bass right now I'm 100% into so I'll have to get back to this once I do Quote

Cat Burrito Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 A worn in but well preserved Fender Precision bass strung with flats. The reason? I've tried loads of other basses and it just suits what I do. I've accepted it just feels & sounds like "me" Quote

My current basses - Status B1 and B2. Class, quality, beauty. Sounds and plays like nothing else I have ever picked up... notch another 2 to Mr. Green! See up and left a bit for the B1....

I guess the Kinal MK-5 or the Overwater Progress 5 were maybe the best basses I've had in terms of what I'd call [i]top end [/i]stuff, but, I moved them on, so they can't have been right for me can they? Since discovering the G&Ls, I'd say they were perfect for me in terms of tone, playability, build quality etc. I have no plans at all to change them, and in fact turned down a tempting offer recently to hang on to them, so that says a lot to me. I am Captain GAS, but I have none at all at this time. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I'm not massively bothered so long as it works and it doesn't look like a footballer's dining table. Quote
harvey1-8 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I'm happy with a passive jazz. The 75 RI I have at the moment has a nice neck, it's not as chunky as the standards I've played. Suits my style of playing well. Quote
