Holy cow I think I found the most awesomest bass ever!

[LLink2411]

This is my Sadowsky MV5:

I never bothered taking my own photos of it, so here are the stock photos the store I bought it from took.



I highly recommend getting your hands on a Bass like this. Some brands might be more well-known, some brands may be flashier, a lot of brands are cheaper, but no one beats the sound and feel of a Sadowsky.

There is a reason why so many touring and session guys choose to play them.

basically anything Warwick, Spector, and ZON. IMO

SDGR is by Ibanez

i doubt it costs that much. I own a similar bass with 6 strings and it was only 700

That's a Japanese Prestige and is more than 2k from memory

That's a Japanese Prestige and is more than 2k from memory

The 4 is $1900, the 5 is $2000, and the 6 is $2100

Then there is a less-flashy but tonally-identical prestige model (400X Prestige series)
The 4 is $1500 and the 5 is $1600

The flashy one is hot as fuck

 

[LLink2411]

I'm partial to the trans-black stripped-down version.

If money was no object, the number one bass I wish I could afford would be the Ritter Jupiter 6. (With the EURO exchange difference, it basically works out between $8000-$9000)

wow cant say I've really liked any in this thread.. So I'll show one of my past beauties I guess..

The Fretless Carvin

Nick, I think it is illegal to explode people's mind.

 

[Durero]

It isn't mine anymore, but I was mighty fond of this one;

Fantastic. I love your body design and it'd be great to see more pics of your builds


Have you ever considered multi-scale designs for your basses?

Spector. I have the four string version of the Spector Dan Brigg plays. It's fucking beautiful for a "lower end" model. One of my favorites. I like some of the Ernie Balls, too. Roscoes are fucking wonderful basses.

I don't care for most Warwicks.

 

[TemjinStrife]

Oh, we're posting basses we own?

I am particularly partial to these two:

Granted, I only own like one other bass. But these two are fantastic.

There are a lot of nice basses out there, especially some of the high end boutique basses like MTD, Roscoe, Alembic, and Benavente.

I'd post some pictures of Spectors I like, but I like them all.

I love Stingrays, they feel amazing to play & have an awesome bright sound for slapping. Sadly way out of my price range.

However most awesomest bass award may just go to this one from Ritter.

Speaking of Ritter...

 

[Djent]

Popping the grain for 26 years.

Kirk Hammett put the Ouija board on the guitar. They put the bass on the Ouija board.
And, the best ever:
The $10 Million Bass!
