If you could have any guitar/bass company create your signature guitar/bass...

[Crescent Seven]

Spector or Lakland.

[Billy-B]

Fender Japan for me. I love every Fender MIJ bass I've got or have had (with the exception of the P-Bass Lyte--no tone).

 

Billy-B

[justinbass]

I'd go back in time and have early 80s Ibanez Japan make me one. It would just be a black/cream, passive musician, with chrome hardware. And it would roar.

[Onkel Bob]

I wouldn't know exactly what to get but I'm very happy with my Ric. Maybe I'd have them try to copy Scott's '68 as well just to see what makes it so special.

[baracuda2004]

umm either ErnieBall or Spector

[In Absentia]

Spector, Warwick, or MTD

[jonathan_matos5]

id want to be famous first so my sig bass would be just another way of selling out. it would be both ugly and unoriginal and people would buy it just because my name is on it.

[Bassin' 'Round]

...Benavente...a version of the Vintage Vortex...

[Rippin' Robin]

MTD would make me a 36" unlined fretless 6-er.

[James Hart]

Bee and/or Benavente.... Bee most likely though

[Hamer-Bass-Head]

guess!!!

 

but I don't think they do that ever.

[dakhwon]

Either SX... or Nino Valenti

[isaac42]

 

Although I've had a falling out of sorts with Rickenbacker, I'd still like to have a custom Ric 5 string to my specs.

 

 

Really? What's the nature of the falling out?

 

As to the original question, I suppose it would have to be Rickenbacker, since that's pretty much all I play.

[sunburstbasser]

Zon for me. Sonus, ash body, composite neck. Don't know about anything else yet though!

[Reverend179]

G&L or Zon.

[BeeTL]

Gibson:

 

SG/EB-3 Short Scale

Ebony Finish

White mother of toilet seat pickguard and truss rod cover

Dark Star Pickups

[liko]

I'm torn between Fender and Yamaha. My MIM Jazz plays well and I've done a lot to it to make it mine, but my Yammies are just so good to me, and I really don't think you'll find a better bass for the money. I just haven't done much to either of mine that would make them sig-worthy.

[nicolinadepapa]

It's a fantasy Thread, right?

[prosigna]

[NeonVomit]

Ibanez. And a lifetime supply of Exilir strings.

[Gaui]

Musicman, 5 string dual bucker without pickguard, black with maple fingerboard and matching headstock

[rikshaw]

reverend

[y-o-y]

Ritter

[JC Bass]

Been done...sorta...nice thing about Carvin, they build it to order.

 

[Bassius]

guess
