[Slash]

Cool. They've always had good sound.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Sub zero. Perfect for all your bass playing and being a superhero needs.

 

[F1GTR]

Fooly (Cool)y.

 

[Doodle]

Neat, but I've never been interested in Guitars.

 

[Parker]

Solid cool. I can't give it a Sub Zero because Geddy Lee has been spotted with one (and we all know Geddy Lee is seriously uncool) but it is a damn good bass.

 

[XS]

Cliff Burton, Geezer Butler, and Lemmy Kilmister all played one. Subzero.

 

[AlvaroF]

They look good and by the lst who've played (some of them are really cool!) it, it must sound amazing. Very cool.

 

[cmbeal317]

I don't play bass(though I'd like to eventually), and this is by far my favorite bass guitar! Looks great, sounds great, and there are some great players that have used it too!

 

[Roger the Horse]

For me Rickenbackers will always be synonymous with dirty, filthy,glorious garage music.





Oh, and this.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Subbed because of my bias to Rush.

 

[W3H5]

I votes 'cool'. It does have a great sound but I'm not into guitars enough to really be of much help here, though I'm a big fan of the music they produce.

 

[PeterJB]

Electric basses are cool in general but this one happens to be a particular pretty example.

 

[SniperRed3]

I don't know enough about basses and this brand to really talk indepth about it, so it's a cool.

 

[Sage Ages]

Sub-Zero.

Its a guitar, which alone is cool, and it's used by and associated with many cool people for both music and hitting people on the head.

You couldn't find a picture of a left handed one?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Sadly no. Left handed ones are automatically cooler, due to their added firepower and general baseballiness of stealing entire solar systems, but I digress.

 

[Cano]

Those who know me will instantly know what I voted.

 

[JMoney]

Bass Guitars are cool.

 

[Jahgee]

Bass Guitars are not cool

 

[Sage Ages]

Bass Guitars are not cool

I wonder why.

 

[TheCracker]

Only four strings? Ricer gui-tar. Seriously uncool.

 

[huskeR32]

Only four strings? Ricer gui-tar. Seriously uncool.

I like so many things about this post.

As for my own vote, I don't know a damn thing about guitars. But this one is pretty. So, cool.

 

[kennylmao]

@Roger the Horse OMG, Scott Pilgrim!

 

[JAHHAJ]

Meh, it's a guitar, personally not really interested in guitars.

 

[ImaRobot]

My dream bass. I'll never in my life be able to afford it, and if I some how come across the money for one, I would not even buy it as I would need the money for something else because of the amount of money I make hourly.

Sub Zero.

@Roger the Horse I'm not sure how much this'll tickle your fancy.


Some language warning.

 

[Adamgp]

Guitars are all the same to me.

Meh.

 

[Turtle]

Bass guitars are cool, anything with the Rickenbacker name on it is cool. Misses out on Sub-Zero because I don't find it that good-looking.

 

[Roger the Horse]

With a final of 0.773, the Rickenbacker 4001 is a solid cool.
