All time favorite Bass?? (Looks wise)

Hi Xanython, I've played a Vampyre.... it was tuned F#, B, E, A. And for that tuning I have always thought they should be maybe a 35+ scale, but it's 34. It's made well, and that low string is sooooo huge as to be a completely different experience. it's definitely weird hitting those low notes, and it seems to be a bass made for metal, or at least that was my impression (I guess not necessarily though... depends how you play it) I wasn't sold on it in the end, as I did find it a little bit floppy on the f#, but what do you expect?
 
It's a toss up between Lemmy's signature Ric and this... my god, how I want one of these...

Also, Major Metal's green violin bass looks freaking AWESOME.
