Yeah, I don't know. I have a book on bass guitar and even Les says that "man, that's one fugly bass" when he saw his first Thompson bass in the music store window...
Rickenbacker 4001 / 4003, it is a classic beauty like a vintage American car. There are even "modern" manufacturers or luthiers using Rick's shape with some modifications but you can easily tell where they get the inspiration
I hate basses that are painted, or shaped like guitars. Basses should all be in natural. Exceptions being black music man's, red Fender basses and Rickenbackers
Andrew Mystic yeah i tend to not like paint very much on my basses, i like stained finishes but thats where it stops. Stained, wood grain, and sunburst all the way.
One of my all time favorites is the Peavey T-40. Both aesthetically and tonally. And one I've been drooling over for a while is the Aria Sb1000 in red with the natural strip down the middle.
The Rickenbacker 4003 is one of my favorites in terms of both sound and looks. I love all the standard Rick colors: Fireglo, Mapleglo, Jetglo, and Midnight Blue. And since there are several different styles of treble bezels out there to replace the pickup cover and lots of awesome Rick pickguards available, you have lots of options for easy cosmetic upgrades.
I cannot comprehend for the life of me why the non-reverse tbird is not the main model. The regular reverse Thunderbirds look and feel so bad but sound great. Turn it around and it's an almost perfect bass that is hard to find.
While the bongo looks weird, it honestly is one of the best basses I’ve ever played and I don’t think it deserves the hate. I just bought a bongo six and the thing absolutely rips and turns heads.
man... you missed plenty: classic P-Basses. Fender Special Pj’s Warwick’s Zon ! Spector Rickenbaker Aria Mike Lull non reverse Sorry but dingwall’s are horrible looking.
Trance 9 haha no way. Fenders are great looking and playing. You obviously have never owned a fender, they are classic and great. A Music Man or Sandberg is any more dull than a fender!
@@Slammansam I don't like any of those you've mentioned. The only thing on any fender that has potential is the jazz necks. Otherwise they look like a standard typical bland generic bass. I don't own one because I've never liked them!!!
@@Slammansam no they just created some of the first electric basses. Yet after all these decades haven't created or expanded beyond that. Kind of like if Ford only built the model T and Model A and nothing else.
You forgot to include the Gibson Thunderbird Bass. Even till this day, it has to be the most futuristic and awesomely cool looking bass on the planet. The design was way ahead of its time and thus will be timeless!
Same here, dude. I own a schecter stiletto bass myself and it is a phenomenal sounding bass. And it’s a real beauty too. It’s a definite keeper for me.
Yeah, very serious. He missed a few(Fodera Emperors, Wal Mk. II's & III's, Spector NS & Forte, Warwick Thumbs & Streamers, the entire F Bass lineup), but Dingwall's entire lineup belongs on this list. So, yeah, serious...;-)
A lot of those are still too ugly to actually own. I gotta give a vote for Ibanez. Sleek, yet classic, and cool and sharp in shape without being too douchy. Nice finishes as well.
Nice selection, but you missed many...maybe because they're not so mainstream. Str, Dragonfly, Alpher, Tune, Enfield, Freedom, Sugi to name a handful. If you haven't heard of them you should definitely check them out! Also any 70s Ibanez are killer too.. Like the Musician series 😉
I agree with many of them! Especially, despite its omnipresence, the Jazz Bass is just such an iconic and visually perfectly balanced design, it's crazy how it's still the benchmark for most of us, including me, after all these decades! I also agree on Pelham Blue, and I'm so happy to have at least something similar and imho equally nice: a J-style Bass (not a Fender but a modern take by Clover) in Lake Placid Blue! Some basses that I'd add to the list: - Le Fay Herr Schwarz, of course in matte black with a Padouk neck and fretboard, this looks so rad! - Warwick Thumb, it's just so iconic - So many of Serek's basses, in my opinion, they are vintage vibe brought to the presence in perfection - Duesenberg, especially the Triton bass, as a different but equally perfect take of blending past and presence - Alpher, especially the Mako Prime V2 - have you seen the golden one with 3 single-coils and no knobs? This is really a rabbit hole, I guess we could still find dozens or even hundreds of beautiful designs...
For great looking, double cut, hollow-body basses, the Chowny CHB-1 and CHB-2 fit nicely in that group. chownybass.com/product/chb-1-2018/ chownybass.com/product/chb-2/
Gotta agree with your take on the Ernie Ball Bongo. Still can't work out why one of the most awesomest bassists ever plays one exclusively. Yes, I'm pointing my very sore, calloused finger at you, Mr Myung!🧐
The Fender Starcaster is one of my white-whale basses that I would like to own one day, but sadly these are very rare these days and expensive. Also would love to have the Gretsch White Falcon but will probably never be able to afford it. Michael Shuman of Queens of the Stone Age played a White Falcon Bass at the Grammy Awards and in the studio for their latest album Villains, and damn did he look cool playing that Gretsch
You sure picked some ugly and plain basses dude. Here are some you missed. Carl Thompson. Ibanez sr2605 Ibanez sr5 smltd Spector Fodera emperor Fodera monarch Many Lakland Deluxe
Excellent choices, especially the PRS, which I did not know before. Jazz all the way! And for me personally: anything dark blue with the texture of the wood visible. And Jaguars. In orange ;-)
soooo Jazz Basses are beautiful like really beautiful ; P-Basses too (especially from 1951 to 1957) ; and every "classic design" basses (Höfner Violin basses, Gibson EB-2, EB-0 etc)
Spector??? Most of these were Fender or Fender copies. Great basses, but not really "beautiful". And, BTW, the "H" is silent in Pelham. Look up John Pelham to see where the name came from
My absolute favorite is the Warwick Stryker. Explorer body shape with neck through construction and finest woods, even more beautiful than Alembic's Exploiter, I think. Unfortunately discontinued, extremely rare and unaffordable if you ever get to see one. I'm pretty sure you don't like it, Patrick (lmao).
IMO the most perfect looking bass is a 4 string Stingray. Preferably flat white with a black pickguard and maple board. There is no cooler looking bass in the world.
Dingwall basses are silly gimmick factories, I'm out. Non-reverse Thunderbirds make me gag. Spot on with the Ernie Ball Music Man lineup, but the Joe Dart bass isn't a short-scale, it's just a passive Sterling. I wish they could be found, I love my Sterlings and would extra love to have a passive one at my disposal that would hold its resale since it's that way factory. I LOVE the Skyline Hollowbody, it's next on my list. Jazzes are a given, they're almost all gorgeous.
I will start off by saying when I play bass, I am exclusive to 5-strings, because I need that chunky neck. The last 4-string I owned, I felt like I was going to snap off the headstock, because that neck was so skinny. I could wrap my hand around the neck, and still make a fist. No. I need a chunky neck. So, with that in mind, my favourite version of a Fender clone is the Lakland Skyline, because Lakland does a 3-2 configuration headstock. The entire reason I don't like Fender 5-strings is the fact that their 5-string headstocks are 4-1 configuration, like that fifth string was just an afterthought. MusicMan is even worse. As-is, their 4-strings are already a 3-1 configuration, BUT their 5-strings are a 4-1. Seriously? Add that fifth string to the other side of the headstock, and give me a 3-2 configuration. This is not rocket science. Every other 5-string has this figured out, so now the Fender/MusicMan clones need to figure it out.
I actually had a Gibson midtown in Pelham blue. Looked dead sexy. Craftmanship wasn't there though. Allot of stupid little things wrong that should've been caught before it left the factory. They need to bring back some of the old basses. Grabber and ripper. Maybe listen to customers and stop trying to recreate the same old Thunderbird.
People are going to look at dingwalls in ten years the same way people do pointy headstock instruments like Jackson and charvel from the 80s. Garish, dated, ultra of the moment. The rest of these are pretty ugly too. You’ve got some dubious aesthetic choices man lol.
Unpopular opinion: I don't really care for the look or sound of Dingwalls. I'm not gonna hate on them, or anything...I just would never get one for myself.
Call me Gen-X if you like, but I think the Steinberger XL bass was so far ahead of its time. Now they are going to collectors for stupid money, but if you want that sound, there aren't many alternatives.
Beauty is subjective. Everyone thinks differently. Fore me Gibson basses have always been upon the ugliest and clumsiest basses ever, for instance. Fanned frets, also, IMO, seems "unlookable at", as we say in Italy. I personally like a rustic look, the Wal Mark I being the top of the list, alongside some Warwicks, and obviously every known Fender war horse in their most bare versions.
How can you talk about Gibson basses and not even mention the Thunderbird? Possibly the most beautiful bass, especially in black with a white pick guard
I agree with you on ugly and beautiful basses... to a point. Some of the ones you say look good make me wanna slap better glasses onto your face. But I agree with you about 80% of the time no matter what. Good videos homie!
I must say if You and I ever just find a storage full of bass guitars and decide to take them all, we would not argue how to split the stash in any single case. Actually I would also left Bongo behind...
Gibson victory is great, RD is great, the grabber and ripper are hard passes visually for me. To me it looks like a circle with too-short horns attached
I hate to say it... but I think I like your ugly bass series more, the way you drool over these beauties... I feel like I've walked into some I wasn't supposed to see...
Hey Patrick! I actually own a 1985 Peavey Dyna-Bass, and I wanna get your thoughts on it? I think it looks kinda like a P Bass, and it sounds exactly like a Fender Jazz Bass!
I knew I unsubscribed from this channel for a reason that’s because I seriously disagree with the ugly/beautiful bass models by look not tone and comfortability

All right y'all, should Beautiful Basses be a new series?! What do y'all think?!
Yes
I was only wondering when you'd make this series a thing!
also yes
yes pleass my dude, also i think if you get a bongo you need to get a darker finish so it looks less toilet seat-y
It involves BASS.... like.
Some of these could DEFINITELY be on the ugly bass series 😂
these gibsons...
Namely the Ripper/Grabber.
I'm happy i'm not the only one who think that his taste for basses is strange...
Not really a fan of the Gibson’s and Rippers
Or dingwall
Give me some Jaguar bass love bro
Always wanted a Jag PJ bass with block inlays. Definitely always on the lookout for one as a fender player.
The original jaguars with the active electronics and the jazz pickups would be nearly Holy grail
What do you think of Carl Thompson basses? Les Claypool plays them and i think they look great.
His walnut bass is so sexy! I also like the rainbow bass, but it's ugly. In a good way though.
Andrew Mystic yeah, those headstocks are fantastic!
IMO. Probably the best looking basses I've ever seen
Claypools are great, but some of Carl's other custom builds are much better looking and fancier.
Yeah, I don't know. I have a book on bass guitar and even Les says that "man, that's one fugly bass" when he saw his first Thompson bass in the music store window...
david lopresti i think they look great and totally fit Primus’s style of music. They are one of my favorite bands of all time.
Joe Dart bass is 34" scale
Expensive ?
@@sigiriabeysekara8723 $2000 retail 😬
Rickenbacker 4001 / 4003, it is a classic beauty like a vintage American car. There are even "modern" manufacturers or luthiers using Rick's shape with some modifications but you can easily tell where they get the inspiration
Who even came up with the ric shape, they're genius
@@Ryzanu good call
@@DannyBoi2112 Germany
Always loved the Rickenbacker. Lemmy's signature Rickenbacker 4004 with the carved wood top is literally one of the coolest looking instruments EVER.
The Yamaha BBs look, sound and play awesome
If only they had a humbucker one
yes!!! sooo sexy)
@@anus333 I plan on putting a musicman humbucker in my bb234's bridge.
Anything by Alpher instruments
I didn't know them and I looked for them... Not disapointed
Agree 100%
Jason newsted Spector bass or a Spector Performer 5
Most Spector basses in fact sweet stuff
I don't like Spectors, looks like a Warwick imitation, but fatter to me.
@@darkySp Warwick actually copied Spector, not vice-versa.
@@ZaneDalton Then Warwicks look like better Spectors
Claypool's Walnut Carl Thompson. End of story.
You don't like P Basses then! ;)
This is random but.... am I the only one who hates any headless bass?
RidetheLonelyness nope, i find them to be pretty ugly and obnoxious.
Same here.
I hate basses that are painted, or shaped like guitars. Basses should all be in natural. Exceptions being black music man's, red Fender basses and Rickenbackers
@@ATthemusician I prefer the wood look as well...if a bass is black, I want binding on it.
Andrew Mystic yeah i tend to not like paint very much on my basses, i like stained finishes but thats where it stops. Stained, wood grain, and sunburst all the way.
The aria pro II is my dream bass

@@tanksandturtles1131 Yep! I don't know what I'll do with my 4003 when I finally get one, but I wouldn't mind leaving it as it is either!
SonicXRage I got mine last year and it’s great, although it takes a bit getting used to if all you’ve ever played is jazz and p basses
Aria Pro II SB-1000
I love mine and the look
I have a SB r150
Its a pain trying to find other basses, Nothing sounds or plays like my old Aria.
Any Wal bass; Warwick SSII
Wal with quilted maple, mahogany core and clear gloss finish and ebony fretboard. Probably the Wal Mk2 bass that i would get, if i could.
I cannot comprehend for the life of me why the non-reverse tbird is not the main model. The regular reverse Thunderbirds look and feel so bad but sound great. Turn it around and it's an almost perfect bass that is hard to find.

Gibson Thunderbird (both styles)
Warwick Star Bass
Schecter Stiletto
Marleaux Contra
Wal Mk1
Rickenbacker 4003
And of course,
Gibson SG (EB-0, EB-3)
🤤
Where are Aria basses ??
He did those in the ugly headstock series.
Seafoam green > Pelham blue
man... you missed plenty:
classic P-Basses.
Fender Special Pj’s
Warwick’s
Zon !
Spector
Rickenbaker
Aria
Mike Lull non reverse
Sorry but dingwall’s are horrible looking.

every warwick custom shop
Hell yeeeeah!
Paco Arsenica naaahhh a lot of them are hit and miss.
They are so ugly but so perfect in many ways
You forgot to include the Gibson Thunderbird Bass. Even till this day, it has to be the most futuristic and awesomely cool looking bass on the planet. The design was way ahead of its time and thus will be timeless!
Yamaha bb series!)) they are so cool and sexy))) have bb735A one in black mate and its awesome
This guy thinks ugly basses are ugly, and other ugly basses are beautiful. He just loves ugly basses I guess
The Schecter Stiletto Studio series basses. Honestly really love how those basses look, feel, and sound.
Same here, dude. I own a schecter stiletto bass myself and it is a phenomenal sounding bass. And it’s a real beauty too. It’s a definite keeper for me.
I like your videos but the background music is kind of distracting me in this one
I literally went looking if I had some music going on in another tab
Fender Jazz Bass is simply timeless and the most beautiful basses.
dingwall??? serious?
Yeah, very serious. He missed a few(Fodera Emperors, Wal Mk. II's & III's, Spector NS & Forte, Warwick Thumbs & Streamers, the entire F Bass lineup), but Dingwall's entire lineup belongs on this list. So, yeah, serious...;-)
@@pbass6811 don't worry he mentioned a lot of those basses......
in the ugly bass series.
Sabre!!
Never liked Fender basses. Just meh.
I wasn’t suprised to see the Joe dart bass here
Just gonna say it cause no one else will
You look like my goddamn math teacher from 6th grade
10/10
Joe Dart is a short scale? For real?
I used to have an early '80's Hondo II that I had repainted in Pelham Blue.
Keep this series going, the more bass videos on TH-cam the better
A lot of those are still too ugly to actually own. I gotta give a vote for Ibanez. Sleek, yet classic, and cool and sharp in shape without being too douchy. Nice finishes as well.
Jazz basses are amazing.
Nice selection, but you missed many...maybe because they're not so mainstream. Str, Dragonfly, Alpher, Tune, Enfield, Freedom, Sugi to name a handful. If you haven't heard of them you should definitely check them out!
Also any 70s Ibanez are killer too.. Like the Musician series 😉
Totally agree with you on the non-reverse Thunderbird!
Duesenberg tritone bass
All of Lemmy’s basses (Motorhead); Sandberg Ida Nielsen is my favorite Sandberg
Ibanez BTB 575 is also a very nice looking bass in my opinion. Nice video!
Wholesome AF. Those Chapmans are killer!
I agree with many of them! Especially, despite its omnipresence, the Jazz Bass is just such an iconic and visually perfectly balanced design, it's crazy how it's still the benchmark for most of us, including me, after all these decades! I also agree on Pelham Blue, and I'm so happy to have at least something similar and imho equally nice: a J-style Bass (not a Fender but a modern take by Clover) in Lake Placid Blue!
Some basses that I'd add to the list:
- Le Fay Herr Schwarz, of course in matte black with a Padouk neck and fretboard, this looks so rad!
- Warwick Thumb, it's just so iconic
- So many of Serek's basses, in my opinion, they are vintage vibe brought to the presence in perfection
- Duesenberg, especially the Triton bass, as a different but equally perfect take of blending past and presence
- Alpher, especially the Mako Prime V2 - have you seen the golden one with 3 single-coils and no knobs?
This is really a rabbit hole, I guess we could still find dozens or even hundreds of beautiful designs...
For great looking, double cut, hollow-body basses, the Chowny CHB-1 and CHB-2 fit nicely in that group.

Any MTD bass. Just stunning especially the Norm Stockton or the Andrew Gouche or the Justin Raine's.. In fact back to my first point..Any of them

Here are some you missed.
Carl Thompson.
Ibanez sr2605

Spector
Fodera emperor
Fodera monarch
Many Lakland Deluxe
I got the pelham blue LTD AP-5 so gotta agree with that😂
Excellent choices, especially the PRS, which I did not know before. Jazz all the way! And for me personally: anything dark blue with the texture of the wood visible. And Jaguars. In orange ;-)
No Warwick no Spector, status, alembic, aria,ibanez, Kubiki, kent Smith, f basses, fodera, Sadowsky,
soooo Jazz Basses are beautiful like really beautiful ; P-Basses too (especially from 1951 to 1957) ; and every "classic design" basses (Höfner Violin basses, Gibson EB-2, EB-0 etc)
Can you react some Tagima instruments? Brazilian would be very happy!!
Spector???
Most of these were Fender or Fender copies. Great basses, but not really "beautiful".
And, BTW, the "H" is silent in Pelham. Look up John Pelham to see where the name came from
My absolute favorite is the Warwick Stryker. Explorer body shape with neck through construction and finest woods, even more beautiful than Alembic's Exploiter, I think. Unfortunately discontinued, extremely rare and unaffordable if you ever get to see one. I'm pretty sure you don't like it, Patrick (lmao).
IMO the most perfect looking bass is a 4 string Stingray. Preferably flat white with a black pickguard and maple board. There is no cooler looking bass in the world.
Dingwall basses are silly gimmick factories, I'm out. Non-reverse Thunderbirds make me gag. Spot on with the Ernie Ball Music Man lineup, but the Joe Dart bass isn't a short-scale, it's just a passive Sterling. I wish they could be found, I love my Sterlings and would extra love to have a passive one at my disposal that would hold its resale since it's that way factory. I LOVE the Skyline Hollowbody, it's next on my list. Jazzes are a given, they're almost all gorgeous.
You left out the Ibanez SR 2600 which is cerulean blue, which is the best looking bass I’ve seen in a while.

The Joe Dart sig is NOT a shortscale bass! Check the music man website!
But it is a Beautiful bass I agree👍🏻👍🏻😍
Gibson victory is great, RD is great, the grabber and ripper are hard passes visually for me. To me it looks like a circle with too-short horns attached
That's kinda funny, the Gibsons are in my ugly basses list. Except for the non reversed Thunderbird
Maybe i will be misunderstood, but for me the most beautiful instrument (not only bass!) ever is a Warwick Thumb Singlecut)
Look up the Ibanez SR2405W in the Caribbean blue finish. Imma get one of those when I have some extra cash.
Dingwalls look like a super sports car, something like a Lamborghini. I see the beauty, but not exactly my cup of tea.
stradi basses especially symphony series are great looking with the extended fingerboard, also really diggin gus guitars basses recently
I hate to say it... but I think I like your ugly bass series more, the way you drool over these beauties... I feel like I've walked into some I wasn't supposed to see...
In my opinion, for this list >
Carl Thompson …. True works of art!
Alembic.
Höfner 500/1
Spector ns2, Wal basses, Rickenbacker basses, Ibanez musician basses or Ibanez rb basses, zon basses
If I have to agree with you one which bass manufacturers, are Dingwall Basses, I never played one, but I might give them a go.
I know that you don't like the Epiphone EB-3 but, c'mon, it looks fantastic!
Or anyone that looks like a SG
Schecter devil bass looks so good especially with its ridiculous fret board. It’s too bad there hard to find.
How can you do a Beautiful bass video without featuring a
P Bass........
I would've been disappointed if you wouldn't have kicked the bongo one more time... yuck someone get a toilet seat cover over here🤣
If you want to see a beautiful instrument that plays better than a fender jazz and was created by the man himself go check out the G&L jb-2 tribute
Why overlook ESP LTD F-405 FM with the tribal inlay? A total looker and great performer!
Hey Patrick! I actually own a 1985 Peavey Dyna-Bass, and I wanna get your thoughts on it? I think it looks kinda like a P Bass, and it sounds exactly like a Fender Jazz Bass!
They all look the same Jazz Bass style.
I dunno why but i think the only ones that look good are the semi acoustic BASSes.
No P basses Patrick? Check out the new Duff McKagan signature Deluxe P Bass in Black
Almost every bass you show here is a variation on the same theme. What about Alembic? Sure they're expensive, but they're also awesome.
Maybe a Jaguar bass like the grey burst one you have or a P Bass with 3 color sunburst and maple neck... aw man those are good looking basses
Surely check out the schecter riot shape. I personally love the shape but you might have a different opinion and I want to hear it.
I knew I unsubscribed from this channel for a reason that’s because I seriously disagree with the ugly/beautiful bass models by look not tone and comfortability
