Kev Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What? How can anyone possibly list every bass they have never played Is it limited to models, or actual basses? I have played a Fender Jazz, but i have not played Flea's Fender Jazz... Okay, i'll play along. I have never played any of the 'super jazz' basses; i have played nothing by Sadowsky, Lakland, Fodera, Sandburg etc. Never wanted to really either, maybe a slight desire to see why someone would want to pay so much for a bass a £100 chinese copy mimics well enough I have never played a Wal either, and am probably therefore guilty of GAS for a bass i have no idea whether or not id actually like to play...

paul_5 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Never played any high end basses apart from an Alembic once, wasn't for me. I ain't played a Wal or a Stingray but to be honest, I'm in love with Jazzes and am quite happy to stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musophilr Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Rickenbacker. But that's because I heard other people playing them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've never played an Alembic (or similar high end coffee table) and don't intend to. I think they are uglier than a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle and are way overpriced. I'm just terrified that I might like it, and enter a world of gas. I love my cheap and cheerful p basses and get no complaints about the noises they make. never tried heroin or fast cars either ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Own? Quite a few (13) Tried a lot to get there. Played? Sh*t loads Plenty still to go, though. Lots of stuff out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtwaring Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I havent played most things but the ones I want to play are mainly custom instruments, ive never played anything custom so would be nice to see the difference. I also haven't played a Stingray although that will change on Thursday when mine turns up. I've not been playing long though so that's a good excuse I think.

chrismuzz Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Never played a Wal, Dingwall, Rickenbacker or a Bongo. There are loads of other specific ones that I could spend all night naming but I've pretty much played most 'standard' types or brands that you can buy in a shop. Never played a custom/luthier built jobby either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) This is an honest list of the only basses I have EVER played...... My own: Marlin Sidewinder 2eq Stingray Epiphone El Capitan Precision Not mine/brief tinkers: 3eq Stingray belonging to a guy I knew P copy - sat in with the band while on honeymoon in Belize Blue Ric belonging to a guy I knew Aria Pro 2 - Jazz jam night 5 string, a Polish brand i now forget - belongs to a bass player I know Jaguar - a music shop Ibanez - was lying around a studio Pretty sure that's it!

Doctor J Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 There are loads, but the ones I'm keenest to try are Wal, Alembic and a Peavey T-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to talk more about what I would like to own for a bit rather than basses I've no interest in... wouldn't mind trying Overwater ACG (though going to get one of his preamps for the streamer as the cheaper option) Stingray I'ld like a shot on a Yamaha TRB to see what the fuss is about, a good jazz bass, maybe combine that with the overwater to make it an overwater jazz... or probably a PJ, but a jazz with a P pup not a P with a J pup... No interest however in.... rickenbacker [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339539655' post='1690392'] There are loads, but the ones I'm keenest to try are Wal, Alembic and a Peavey T-40. [/quote] I think every bass player HAS to try a T40 once in his or her life. If I only had one bass till I died and it was a T40 I would die happy. Possibly of a hideous back injury but a great bass to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think I've played all the main ones & embarrassingly owned a fair few of those ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Rick for me too, not sure why I've never played one, I suppose they're not really that common, always been expensive and no-one I've known has had one. Would love to spend some time with one. I'd be terrified I'd like it enough to be my no.1. Just look. Designed in the '50s doncha know. 'Mazing.

LukeFRC Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 thing is apart from a few things I've always wanted to try (and have).... T40, jazz, etc... I've got great basses and find it's far better just to play the things than go window shopping. Most the audience can't tell anyway. I've prob had, I dunno two dozen basses come and go now, the ones that stand out are the T40, the Streamer I have now, the Cimar Jazz and an old Aria fretless I traded with Rasta. The JV is a bit special too. Now of the 5, 3 of them cost under £150 ish. Some of the basses that cost £2000 or so new came and went with little more than a shrug. The wick is a keeper, and the JV is too. At some point I'll get too worried about damaging it and move the JV on and buy something else, but meh, it'll probably be another P bass or a jazz or something. Better just to play the things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've played very little basses in all honesty. I've never really had the opportunity to play many. It's easier to list what I have played. Musician stingray 4 Ibanez (various of the SR models) Warwick Corvette $$ I really want to try a Warwick thumb but Ive got no way of trying one sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
