I'll have my Gadow in a bit, though I ordered that this year, I suppose it counts.
Maybe(hopefully) I'll pick up a Stingray, or a Veillette Minotaur at some stage too.

I am getting a 6 string Pacello bass from one of my friends. Alvaro Pacello is a master builder from Urugay that builds sweet basses 
I need a new bass rig I will either choose Ampeg svt 4 pro with a Bergantino AE410 if my budget allows it.
Otherwise a Hartke LH1000 + HX410 + HX115. which turns out to be half the price.
I sometimes need to share my rig for other bands, I would have a hard time sharing the berg setup... So I may end up with Hartke
Remember whatever gear you get, you can't replace fingers. So a lot of shed + getting an advanced teacher for me this year
Cheers

I've been working on making a custom j bass off of warmoth. I have the alder body with black gloss finish ordered and also the birdseye maple neck with a Macassar ebony fretless fingerboard. But these won't be here for awhile. I'm putting all Hipshot hardware on with either wizard or bartolini pickups on it. And that's what I'm working on for this year!
Probably ordering a CB, a Stambaugh, and possibly anothe Rob Allen, although this will require the sale of a few I'm not really using.
I'm determined to get my hands on a Dingwall Z3. Ever since I saw the bass in progress post here (can't remember where exactly), I've been obsessed with the Z3.
Got to have it! The bummer is, I'm going to NAMM next month and part of the reason was to get my hands on a Z3. Turns out the Dingwall is not going this year. . . BUMMER!

On a side note, I did the same thing last year with my SVT 4 pro and a 6x10 Mesa Road Ready down to a Markbass 102p and a Markbass 1x15 bottom.
Haven't looked back since. Not quite the depth and warmth but, a fraction of the weight and sonically, I get more compliments on my tone now than I did before. Maybe the MB stuff is clearer and cuts more? ? ? ? .
I do know, it's saved my back plus for small gigs, I can use just the 102p combo and I'm good to go!

Losing faith in humanity...one call at a time.
Me too. I'd love a Wal 5er and a Tony Franklin, but I prolly won't get them anytime soon. I have all the manufactured basses that I need covered (Ric, P, J, fretless, 5er), so my focus this year is on improving the way I play them - particularly fretless.
I guess I do have a purchase in mind though, and that's building my own. So I'll be buying fine woods, nice necks and good hardware.
looking into a used stingray 5 as my 5 strings oh nowhere near my 4 strings :/
and maybe a gibson thunderbird ..my gigging/teaching/repairing should get the money for one there around for £1100 but i've seen them for £999 new somewhere

I'm expecting a few in 2011...
1) Marleaux Consat Sopran - this one is a high-end piccolo bass that I have to wait until after NAMM for.
2) Valenti Vintage Jazz 4-string - CAR with matching stock, rosewood board with white blocks & binding and pickguard, Aguilar pickups with Sadowsky preamp. April timeframe
3) ZON Vinny VB5H - I just traded for this one and it's currently in customs, coming from Canada.
I'd like to say I'm done after this, but I always lie to myself.

My buddy just lent me his 75 Fender P he doesn't think he's going to sell it. But now that I've played it I know I need to own it. So gonna offer him a bunch of money for it hopefully he goes for it. After all he's jus some guitar player, what does he need a bass for?
In a few weeks, I'll be putting in the order for another Roscoe---a Century 3005-J.
And I'm hoping to be able to order a fretless Century 3006 later in the year.
