Perhaps this has been asked before, but here it goes.
If you could own a bass that was/is owned/played by a famous bassist(that you would play, not just collect), which one(s) would it be?
My list-
Sting's white Spector NS-2
Sting's Ibanez Musician fretless
Pino Palladino's MM Stingray fretless
Tony Franklin's JayDee fretless
Geddy Lee's red Wal
