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

Ever since I picked up a Zon Legacy Elite I've wanted one. It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. Zons are great in general but the Legacys are outta this world ( IMO of course)

I've always wanted to try a MTD but realize it probably wouldn't be my bag in the end. Same with Roscoe and Benavente. Works of art in themselves but probably more than I need ( like the Zon isn't :rolleyes: )

A Sadowsky Modern 5-24 would be awesome.....cooler as a 4 banger.

Of course, if I had my druthers, I'd secure a stable of Wal basses. However, until someone takes over or they start cranking out guitars again I won't hold my breath.
 
One of these. It's on order, though, and I'll see it sometime next year.

Other than that, it would be a Zemaitis. Don't think I'll ever have the cash to do one of those.
 
Listed in order of priority:

Sadowsky 24 fret 5 (quilt top, birdseye maple board, Sad pups, '59 burst chrome 'ware)

MTD 535 (too many wood options to decide yet, maple board)

Fodera Imperial Elite 5 (Spalted maple top, maple board)

Zon Sonus Custom 5 (Natural, swamp ash body, Barts)

Lakland DJ 5 (Aero pups and J-retro pre, maple board)
:smug:
Fender Marcus Miller 5 (Natural w/ custom black pearloid pickguard, maple board)

Guess it's not obvious I'm a maple man, right?
 
Sadowsky NYC 24-5
-Flamed maple w/ Tigereye finish and a birdseye FB
Nordstrand Singlecut
-Some exotic wood combo TBD at a much later date.
Adamovic
-Either the Supernova or Eclipse (I just can't decide!)

That's my list. For now I have a new Stammy coming this week as soon as the strings arrive and Chris gets her strung up and I can drive up and pick her up!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
 
Bongo 6
I've played the five string bongos and theyve felt like heaven and sounded exactly like what I want. I just use that sixth string alot, so I'm waiting.

not to mention the fact that I'm broke...lol

aside from the bongo I think everything else is just icing on the cake - a ric, a wal mach II would be cool (Tool, of course :D ), and another fretless Ibanez - probly a Soudgear 905.
