I'm satisfied with what I have, but these are 3 basses I wouldn't mind owning right now or in the near future (minor GAS cases):

- USA Spector in J/J configuration
- Fodera Yin Yang with Spalted Maple top
- I've been itching for a Jazz bass so a US Sadowsky (satin finish).

One that doesn't exist but I wish did:

- Ibanez Musician reissue (lightweight, slightly downsized, NOT $10,000 like the limited edition a few years ago)

One I've had on my wish list forever and never got for some reason (but still occasionally GAS for):

- Ibanez SR Prestige (just wish it had black or chrome hardware instead of gold)

I have a Modified Tele. bass bought it 013 from fender. Took it out of the box tuned it up, played it for a while. It has been in the case under the bed since 013. ( the thin plastic factory covering is still on the pick guard and the front p/u. It has never had a strap on it. Its nicer that mint, I call it N.O.S. ( new old stock). Time to thin the heard............. Bob
 
Me? I have one of the five I want: a Basslab STD-VI 35” scale, but the others:

They’re all Basslab:
1. STD-VI, 35” scale, 29 frets, headless trem
2. STD-VI, 35” scale, full body fretless, a headless optical pickup that’s actually good (I like the Lightwave, but it’s not headless
3. Basslab/NS Design (they did collaborate before) 6-string EUB
Okay, the fourth one isn’t:
4. Carvin LB76 w/Kahler trem

I honestly don’t want any other basses. I’m relatively close to the end, save for that stupid trem (yes, I do use it), of my GAS.
