Basses you will own one day... but not yet

I have a couple I'd like to see in my collection. I think I am only missing one to make it complete. A 62 RI P-bass.

Other than that I have a hankering for something with a modern tone. Currently MTD tops that list, but I have not put a great deal of thought into it. I just love the tone and looks, but I've never played one.

I'd also love to see something in the way of a full sized hollow body, like a Gretsch.

So little time, so many basses. :p
 
hmm i have a lot lol

fender deluxe precision special (that's my 1st target right now. even if it doesnt sound great, imma mod it so it does sound great)

musicman stingray4

a nice jazz bass made by fender (geddy lee and either 75' or 60's or pre cbs NOS.id welcome usa and cij jazz too)

The two basses I would love to own:

MM Sterling 5er HH HS
Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 fretless, active, two octave neck

Have to wait 'til the companies actually decide to build these things. Then I could die a happy man!

hmm... the one bass - that rules them all!!! LOL...

Geez, these days if I want a bass I just buy it - which is why I added another Status and more the likely another Benavente to the quiver this week.
I'm getting married in about a month - I think it'll go something like this "And why exactly do you need more than 19 basses?"
 
First Priority: Rickenbacker 4003
2nd: Geddy Lee or Highway One Jazz
3rd: Lecompte Custom tied with Nash 62 style jazz
4th: Gibson EB3 or Peavey Grind 6 string.

I probably won't get any of them anytime soon though
 
Personally I think I've been very lucky and have owned my "I wish" basses. I've owned 3 different Alembic basses and my dream bass was a Stanley Clear Signature Alembic. Now I've moved on to what IMO are the most solid reliable basses ever made, Modulus Quantum basses. Soooooooo I THINK ... THINK I'm finally home. If I buy other basses it'll be "just because I want too" it won't be to get a BETTER bass. IMO You can't GET better then Alembic and Modulus. And I'm NOT into classic collector's items like very old Fenders so you'll never see those in my collection. Save those for the people who appreciate them!
 
this one ......... :cool:

I already own a few nice basses (nothing super fancy/custom ... see my sig), but this is my latest addition and I can hardly wait till it gets here next week. :hyper:

enjoy!

I saw a guy in a Bon Jovi tribute band (don't let that put you off ;) ) using an identical bass, recently. It sounded awesome and I've been trying to get that thought out of my head for weeks (since I really don't want to buy more new basses).

Congrats! Hope you like it :) !
