Own 5 now, so I would only want upgrades of the stable:

EBMM Big Al 4SSS - perfect
EBMM Sterling 4H - upgrade to Reflex with Gamechanger (yeah baby)
Lakland Sky Bob Glaub w/Fralins - only upgrade I would want would be the US neck, otherwise, perfect
Lakland Sky 5502 - would love to upgrade to US 4 or 5-94
Boulder Creek Fretless Acoustic - would love to upgrade to an upright, but have no clue about the upright world, just have dug the sound since I was about 5 years old

Currently I have...

1972 Fender Telecaster bass

1995 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4

2011 Fender American 60th Anniversary Precision

2011 Fender American Standard Jazz


I have my eye on a 2004 Rickenbacker 4003 and eventually I'd like to get a Fender American Standard V.

I've played some more exotic stuff recently, and although they were very nice, they just aren't right for me. With more money I'd make the same choices that I have.
