Impossible desires

Well, I imagine for us lefties there are a lot of impossible desires if we're after basses with slightly less common colours or combinations of hardware etc. and we can't afford/don't want to order a custom build.

 

For instance, last time I looked, this simply wasn't available in LH, full stop:

And don't get me started on LH double basses (not electric uprights, they are usually OK).

 

You learn to live with the situation, and it keeps your GAS under control. :)

I’d just settle for a time machine, so I could go back to 1986 & buy up all the basses I lusted after at the time at sensible prices (They probably didn’t seem it at the time, but hindsight is a wonderful thing? 😄)

Wal custom, could pick these up for £650?

Status series II, around the £1200 mark

Aria Pro SB 1000, another £600 bass

Vigier, around the £800 mark

Warwick Streamer, An early cherry wood one about £850

 

That’d do for starters, don’t even get me on amps 😄

To buy back all the basses I had to sell when things went Pete Tong in my private life a few years ago. There are some I really miss.

 

Other than that, Jon Shuker and I have this corking bass design ready to go. We've been talking about it for a few years now. I desire it muchly, still. It's going to be insanely good.

I'd like to go back to 2002 and get an original Ibanez K5. Impossible, I know. I'd also like the padauk to stay that nice orange colour, which is also impossible as it turns darker brown as it ages.

 

I'm not a big Korn fan, I like a few songs from their early years, but the K5 in the 2002 Ibanez catalogue was a dream bass for me. A shame that even if I could buy a mint condition one now, it wouldn't be the vibrant orange of the instrument in my dreams.

Still looking for an EBMM Stingray 4 H, 2 EQ, natural finish, maple fingerboard, with body contours (so no Classic or pre-EB). Just cannot find one. I am sure they are out there, somewhere, but my search seems to always end up in the well-known destination - nowhere 😞
