eBassSix Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hey, Weststarx! Well this is all a very subjective matter of course, but like any of us, I'm rather partial to my own choice of instrument. You can see it in my signature and profile, but here's a bigger, better photo where I'm playing it, albeit "unplugged"... It's a "Furlanetto" or "F" Bass, custom designed and handcrafted by luthier George Furlanetto and crew, here in town. In my personal opinion, there's just no bass like an "F Bass". Check them out and feast your eyes: [url="http://www.fbass.ca/"]http://www.fbass.ca/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a submission for a Carvin in the GAS thread. Soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm surprised at this post. To me there seem to be a big variety of finishes at everything except rock bottom price points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eBassSix Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oook, watton earth. It balances out the overall shape/style of the body quite nicely, I think... and that deep cutaway is kind of necessary. But hey, we all have different tastes and that's great, because it keeps things interesting. It's nice to see all the different bass photos people post on here. Some of them are just beautiful (I tend to appreciate high-end basses with beautiful wood grain with an oil finish, like mine) and some, I find quite ghastly in appearance and wouldn't find comfortable to play... but if they were all the same, things would get pretty boring, fast.

yondergo Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Personally I think there's a strong correlation between wherabouts you stand on the stage, or would like to stand, and the kind of bass you want. I'm a stand next to the drummer, classic precision/jazz kind of guy as opposed to an up-front soloing kind of chap with some wacky modern alien-sh*t shaped french polishers nightmare of a thing, although i did own a lovely sounding Yamaha RBX something or other donkey's years ago that i had to let go because it looked gross. The simple truth of the matter on such a personal topic is: it's horses for courses and if we all liked the same thing the world would be a more boring place, albeit one in which properly fitting spare parts would be easier to obtain.

eBassSix Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Maybe, yondergo... although I'll stand or sit wherever I fit. Well, I'll move out to the front a little when I'm playing a slap solo or something, but I'm often back beside the drum kit, because I've always had this kind of "connection" happening with the drummers I've played with, which just synchs up better when we're really maintaining good contact... you know what I mean. I've had a Fender Precision and a Fender Jazz bass in the past, and really liked the Jazz bass best, out of the two... for playability/comfort and tone. They're [i]nice[/i].

eBassSix Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Aww thanks, Rhys! It really is... I just [u]love[/u] it. Wouldn't want another, except I'd like a nice little 4-string for heavy-duty funk/slap playing (my specialty). Oh, and maybe another fretless (had one years ago, that I sold).

simon1964 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 [quote name='LeftyJ' timestamp='1397162873' post='2421448'] That Vanquish looks awful IMO. What's up with those horns? It looks so out of proportion I love Music Man too, and they've had some amazing finishes throughout the years, especially on their limited editions and awesome sparkle finishes. Sequoia Gold, Autumn Redburst, Autumn Redrise, Copperhead Bronze, the Dargie Delight versions... [/quote] Those are fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weststarx Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've never really had a look at cort basses - they seem to do some interesting stuff. There's a place in Stratford up Avon sells a lot of Cort and G & Ls going by there website so I'm going to go and have a look sometime next month I reckon!

DarkHeart Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One of, if not the best looking bass ive ever seen can be found in the 'build' section, the Waghorn RD Artist is in my eyes a phenomenal looking instrument.
