purpleblob Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I've never been into the idea of owning a sig bass myself. But I suppose if I were to look at getting one it'd be an Alembic Stanley Clarke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matski Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 As this is the only signature bass I have ever owned, then by default it has to the Rickenbacker 4001 C64S. [attachment=66424:DSC02336.JPG] I know that virtually all the members of BC don't like Rickenbackers, and even the ones who do will probably turn their noses up at the reversed headstock, but frankly my dears I don't give a damn...

Heavier than the newer Status basses too, but it felt bombproof and all the better for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he wasn't supposed to show anyone but felt he was among friends - could have been a stunt but it did seem like he was just excited to show it off. I can't really remember that much other than it was light blue and had really heavily angled neck retaining bolts to make the neck/body joint even stronger. I think he may have mentioned playing slightly with pickup positions but not 100% sure about that bit Loads of people took pics and were filming on small cameras so may be some footage out there on YT.

Chris2112 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I do like that Jazz bass. I never thought Victor sounded that great on them though, his tone have never really blew me away. Having played one though, I am quite certain it is the best jazz bass Fender make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yamaha RBXJM1. The only sig bass I'd ever consider having.....again! Maybe the JM2 in one cropped up at a good price! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmySims Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but the old Yamaha Nathan East BB5 was always really good too. Jimmy Sims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Although not strictly a signature bass, the guitar version is. So, the EBMM Big Al: [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/attachments/music-man-basses/9304d1287531973-nbd-big-al-4sss-out-delivery-p1020366a.jpg"]http://www.ernieball.com/forums/attachment...y-p1020366a.jpg[/url] [url="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lo8FtvE9L.jpg"]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lo8FtvE9L.jpg[/url] I usually never gel with odd shapes, but that bass said 'buy me' the minute I saw it. Passive single coils/tone control with additional active 4 band EQ and pickup selection?! Oh yes. I tried it as well. Liked it even more over a few days.

retroman Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 My two favourite signature basses would have to be the Rickenbacker 4004Lk (which I have now given up trying to find) and the Warwick/Status "Buzzard" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Another +1 for the Nathan East sig. Almost perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRockinRoadie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 My Favourite signature models have to be the Duff McKagan and the Marcus Miller IV. The Mike Dirnt my friend owns is also pretty cool! Lakland DJ4 is also high up on my GAS-list. But... am i the only person here that HATES the Mark Hoppus? All i can say is - thank god i went to try one out, and didnt just buy one off of the internet blind. I would have sent it back instantly!
