Basses you have a bad hankering for...

I love looking at higher end basses, but I have made peace with my pocketbook. I do not see me spending more than $1,700 again. The only dream bass for me in that range would be a Tony Franklin Fender Precision.
Good call. I have a black 2020 TF. Beautiful bass.
For me there isn't much above that price point, I did spend a touch more on 2 of mine but that was because or rarity, not really because they were worth that much.
I'm super happy with my current collection, the only thing missing is something pointy/pointier than I already have.
It will look like that except the pickup will be a Delano Xtender split coil, not the humbucker. Here's the garden of hankering (apologies in advance)....click custom shop, then "configurator" and .... hide your wallet......

- Ken Smith BSR 5 with walnut top. A long time ago one came up for sale for some now ridiculously low sum, like $1200, and I didn't pounce.
- Pre-CBS Fenders
G&L Fallout Tribute, but not before I get some pay or sell my Guild acoustic (I'd put a tort guard on't 
):
):
I don't know how this bass has eluded me for so long, but I still haven't owned one!
I have wanted a Mosrite for a long time.
Yes, I am really bored lately. So trying to master tuning a 12 string seems like a really fun, sadistic thing to do 
Sandberg had my undivided attention for a stretch, but I'm off that for now...
...because aside from the prohibitive price tags, I can't spot any downside to the Elrick basses out there

pcake's new, black aerodyne, pictured in my mind's eye as a fretless, made me think i might have a 'latent hankering'. 
but probably not enough to actually pursue one, so the hankering may not be a "bad" one.
i voted "no, no, no."

I've been thinking of downsizing all of my mediocre to okay gear to buy just one bass that I can play exclusively, this is the one that's been catching my eye most.
