You need an MM. Stingray or Sterling.

[Emprov]

Either a MM or a custom made Wish fretless, you pick from there.

[NeonVomit]

Fender Precision.

[1039greenday]

Rickenbacker 4003

[pbass_groovin]

SX

 

[Rowka]

Ric - love the looks, like the sound, hate the feel.

 

Wal - same.

 

P or Stingray - nope. I hate the wide nut. Gotta be Jazz spacing at the nut.

 

Sterling is a possibility.

 

SX already in the mix, but as the Rowka-LowTone-enstein.

[bottomfeeder]

Rick

Benevente

Spector

 

 

but give me the Kramer!

[Rowka]

Ooooh, Benevente. Remember the one with the realistic flame paint? That was sweet.

[1039greenday]

Maybe a Warmoth P with a Jazz neck?

 

I won't discourage you from buying a Sterling...

[lug]

A nice Peavey T-40, you ferker!

[Rowka]

That's basically what the SX/Warmoth is, with a J thrown in at the bridge.

 

 

And the this bass, along with the Warmoth Jazz are Fender-enough.

 

I've had, and sold at least one T-40 already.

I'd like to get the pups and wiring from a T-40 and build another bass around that, though.

 

I'd love to get a hold of one of those crazy Atlansia basses.

That's cool then. I've just been GASing for a P recently...

[Bass8987]

One of these

 

[Rowka]

That's not a bass.

You can start by giving that Pedulla Buzz to me. You probably never play it anyway

 

All joking aside, I'm surprised you don't have a Steinberger or other graphite-necked instrument in the mix. It gives you quite a different tone and feel compared to most wooden necked basses.

 

Personally, I love my Steinberger XQ-5. It's got a bolt-on graphite neck, wide-5 spacing, 1-piece swamp ash body (with nice grain that peeks through the transparent ruby finish), a pair of EMG soap-bars, and an EMG 19-volt BQC preamp (vol, balance, bass, treble, semi-parametric mid).

 

The sound is simply amazing. Tight, clear bass. Smooth highs. Total control over the mids (between the two pickups and sweepable mid control, you can get anything from Jazz Bass quack, to P Bass thump, to Stingray growl). Plus, there's a ringing sustain, incredible punch, and excellent note separation. I never understood what people meant by "piano-like bass" until I got this Steinberger.

Emre,

I had a Steinberger XL-2A untill a short while ago. It was a very good bass, but it saw the least strap-time of the lot (well, except for teh URB, that sees zero strap time. Actually, I hang from it).
