The List Of Basses You'd Love To Own Or Already Have!

[Ravi Nair]

I've been playing for not more than 5 years now, but i still play on the bass that i first bought. Yamaha RBX 270 J. Its an amazing bass for starters and has served me well till today. At one point, I installed a custom active circuit on my bass to get more tonal options with a bass boost for those days when im pissed at everything and everybody for no apparent reason .

 

I have a fetish for basses that are skillfully crafted, look beautiful, produce even more beautiful tones, and push the player to new limits.

 

Some of my favorite bass makers are Fodera, Aries, Marleaux, Jens Ritter, MTD, Zon and Odyssey apart from the regular Fenders, Hofners and Musicman basses.

 

I would love to have a bass that has lightwave pickup installed in it. One of the first bass that i had my eyes on was a Lightwave Saber VL 5 string fretless.

 

So what do you want and what do you already have?

Although I do have a great collection of music equipment, I've never owned a fretless bass.  I would love to get a fretless 5 string American Fender Jazz!

Fretless yes. 5 string no.

I'm dreaming about an upright one.

I'm dreaming about being able to play an upright!

Yeah that too, hehe, but they're so beautiful they're allowed to be purchased before you can play them. Now if I only had the money, or space for that matter.

I have an Ibanez 4 string I use now that's ok. ​I would love to own an Alembic Signature Deluxe 5 string bass:

 

 

Now I just need a sugar-momma so I can afford one!

 

Peace,

Out of all the basses Ive played,I think the Peavy Cirrus was the most comfortable ,and sounded great.

Although Im mainly a guitarist,I play enough bass to do my own bass tracks when recording.

Ive also played a few Alembic's that were totally awesome,but Im nowhere close to justifying having one,as much as Id like to.
