Lakland 55-94
Zon Hyperbass (FL)

I think I'd be happy

[dexplosion]

Lakland
Fretted JO5 w/ humbucking Chi Sonics
Fretless JO5 w/ single coil Chi Sonics
Fretted JO4 w/ Lakland P-J pickups and 1.6" nut width

Custom fretless 5 string acoustic that is loud and is also deep and rich sounding

I would use the extra money from not buying a fifth bass and buy a '60s Rogers 6.5x14" Powertone snare drum if it existed.

[JimmyM]

hofner club bass

harmony h22

the 98 mia jazz i sold 2 years ago because it was too heavy for my aging shoulder, but with a lighter body

the 1960 eb0 out in my garage that's broken and needs a full restoration

a 9 string so i can make youtube videos of me tapping super mario bros, too!

[My name is Mudd]

Basses to be played, not just looked at -

- I'm still silly enough to want an Alembic Mark King
- Way back in the day, I played a friend's Ovation Magnum and still kinda have fond thoughts about it
- Gibson EB3
- a REAL 50's Precision, not just the Custom Shop knockoff
- Birdsong Corto

About the only ones I have any realistic chance of getting are the Gibson and maybe the Birdsong...
