I was just wondering what your favourite bass was that wasnt the ordinary P-Bass shape or something similar, for example my favourites are:

1. The Gene simmons axe bass made by Steve Carr

2.The Devastator bass used by Jerry Only

I own a couple of basses which might be considered "challenging" to Fender-normalised attitudes:

Lace Helix

Ibanez EDA900

Kawai Sleekline
[sharedmedia=core:attachments:46249]

Tokai Talbo


Nothing incredibly weird, admittedly - maybe more "eccentric"... :)

This very bass used to hang in the dinosaur market in hereford, a fine vintage shop owned by Pete in the 90s. I asked to have a go and the staff politely declined, purely for the reason they didn't think the bantamweight adolescent such as I was would be able to pick it up!

That's funny :) - I've read that it was so heavy that Pete could only use it for a couple of songs !
