the Hofner "Beatle bass" is the only short-scale bass i've ever played that isn't all floppy on the low strings. i don't know how they do it, but it's amazing.

Flying Vs. I'm mostly a guitarist, but a V bass would be fudging awesome.

for bass, i really want the full Jaco...fretless Jazz Bass with lines on the fingerboard. not that i'd play like Jaco, far from it, but i find that bass the most versatile for the many different styles i play bass in. my only problem with the JB is that the neck/body combination is so long that i have to reach for Vancouver to get the low F on the E string.

and i'd strangle kittens for a Gibson EB-2. OK, i wouldn't strangle kittens, but i really, really want one.

Yes, yes they are.

For subject at hand... I got nothing... I play what I like and I like a wide range of stuff and everyone I play with knows that.. so it would be oh so you got one of those...

I played a kramer 36 fret. after the 24 fret it goes from jumbo wire to mandolin fret wire. the sustain is complete shit cause of the disproportionate lengths of resonant string vs sympathetic string. also the string has a considerable amount of tension once you finger the 36th fret. its inevitable that the action increases as you get closer to the bridge. small frets may also be to blame. anyway, it sucks.

I knew it sounded awesome, but then I played it, and oh no. It's beautiful.

I thought everyone liked Hofners.

I see so many cuz I'm a craigslist addict... Here's the last half dozen or so I lusted after:
-Dark woodgrain G&L ASAT w/ two single coil pickups. I love Tele's but always trade or sell them.
-Teisco Vox Phantom copy, baby blue. Wrote the guy back to see if he still had it, cuz I had the $$ and was going to be over there. Gone.
-White Gibson SG with soapbar P-90's.
-mosrite or univox hi flyer; aka a Ramones guitar.
-Too heavy for my crappy back + neck, but I always wanted a Greg Ginn Ampeg Dan Armstong clear plexi guitar.

I'd like my '67 Mustang back. And my '66 Precision. The only two mistakes I've made, instrument-wise.
