Rickenbacker 4003 and there's no discussion. Preferably dark blue.

Warwick streamers are my preference because of their versatility

Ibanez Sr950

>>74285105
This.

Everything else is just children's toys

>>74284320
either a rickenbacker 4003 or a Gibson Thunderbird

>>74285477
Thunderbird is pretty solid but the 4003 just is head and shoulders above it.

I own a T Bird and I like it, but I would stab someone to death for a 4003. They're great.

>>74285477
I've owned both, and a Rick > Thunderbird

if i had to pick one bass for the rest of my life, it'd be either a Wal MK2 or an Elite Jazz Bass.

>>74285105
not versatile enough. is great at couple tones, sub-par on many others.

>>74285680
>not versatile enough
This is wrong.

>>74285761
ok, try slapping on a Rick or playing jazzy, bassy slow lines with no treble.

i like ricks too, but come on.

>>74285814
>try slapping on a Rick
Done.
>or playing jazzy, bassy slow lines with no treble.
Done.

What's the problem? Maybe you just play through a shitty 25watt amp?

>>74285853
>done
not an argument lad

What do you mean? You asked if you could do ____ on a Rick, and I'm saying yes, it's been done.

I can play bass better than any of ya'll guaranteed

>>74285814
both pickups on with all the knobs all the way up sounds fine for slap, neck pickup with the tone rolled off is perfect for slow jazzy basslines.

>>74285897
I can see why you change the rickenbacker bridge for a hipshot bridge

>>74284320
Any of the modern boutique basses with two good humbuckers and two 3-way switches to split them. Marleaux, Sandberg, Fodera, Franz, anything along those lines. Fender is not worth the money.

>>74286051
they could come stock like that honestly

Cort A4 or any similar bass is the logical conclusion

>>74285814
Have you played a rick?

>>74286095
This is objectively true for a single best bass guitar. You can't go wrong with that and it's the most versatile and probably also the most comfortable.

>>74285897
Amazing babes you have there
