If you could have another forum members bass ...

Post by marc61 »

For me it's a toss up - Brian's Lemmy, or Jeff's 4005...

The Lemmy is such a piece of art though, it might never get handled.

The 4005wb, is so awesomely setup, and well played, I'd probably play it enough to actually get good at it...

Jeff Scott's extremely rare '67 4005WB. It is a beauty.

Thanks David for the vote on my AG. I'll be happier with my 4001 once I find a Rickenbacker tailpiece and bridge assembly to install on it.

Well, Jerry Juden's 4005 is pretty rad...

Sorry Jerry, it's just really cool!

I'd have all the Lemmys and then sell them all (ok maybe keep one). And then I'd retire...Image

Seriously, anything pre-73...Sergio's 21 fretter springs to mind, but there are many, many others....aha! Simon Mole's azure 72 (or is it a 73? I always forget...), that's certainly up there, that may indeed be the one. Jeff's old 68 is another I'd like, as is Wints's RM....

I hope Santa gets this list!!

Hey thanks, Shaun. Well, I'd go for Grant Arthur's January '71 BG 21 fret 4001, of course.

Shaun, Simon's AZ is a Jan. 73. I will have a May 73 AZ sometime after Jan. 07, after Paul W. works his magic.

Grant's BG 21 fretter!
I'd cut off my left ... ,well never mind!
Second choice would be Jeff's old '68.

I would pick pretty much anything from the Jeff Thomas collection. His C64S is a sweet bass. I also like Scott Doseck's 4004Cii.
