5 basses I want right now

I don't need any more basses, but if a lighter Jazz bass, that sounds as good as my Sadowsky, comes up I might be interested. . . and maybe, after about 30 years of thinking about it, I should finally get that upright bass and learn how to play it.
 
1. Skjold Firedrake or Skjold Griffin.

"Or" is such a weak word; "and" would be significantly more accurate.

Given how very close I came to grabbing one off his facebook feed this year (the blue/maple firedrake headless a couple months back) I think it's going to happen sooner rather than later. Premeditated impulse buying is a real thing.

Ken Smith 5str

Another Roscoe 5str

A Ric

Birth year Fender P or J

MM Sterling 5

I missed the boat on what was probably the last reasonably priced 5str Ken Smith a couple years ago and have been kicking myself ever since. If another pops up I hope to catch it in time, but not holding my breath.
