My Status Stealth-2 headed fiver. Perfect all the way around. If I could keep only one, this would be it.
Already own it. 
No thing's better to me than an NS-2. Reverse PJ, HAZ, active EMGs and nice heavy weight. Just the solid brass bridge is about a pound. And these crown inlays are the best inlay designs ever made imo.

After going through 54 bass ukes and mini guitar conversions in the last 10 years, I found that the RondoMusic Hadean bass uke violin/Hofner style is my ideal since I have nerve damage to my neck spinal cord. It's so ideal that I'm going on 14 of them. I don't call it GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) I call it GAP (gear acquisition passion).

As I always say when I see your black NS-2... if absolutely necessary I would be glad to take it off your hands, no charge.
Man, way to make lemonade out of lemons with that injury. Super cool collection.
That's a very special bass. And if you'd know how much I paid for it, you'd kill me.
I will say that a bass is just a tool and a tool box needs more than just one tool.
It may be the weather or the mood or by request so always have the right tools for the job.

Ditto. Whilst I would love a custom that's just what I want, the production basses I have are really extraordinary for what I paid for them, especially compared to what I'd have gotten for the same money back when I started.
6 strings and 14mm for me for a full size Bass VI class instrument in a Steinie form factor. My 5 string woodberger does fine for basic RnR.
Guilty as charged, at least to some extent.
I would be this Photoshoped Stingray 
. Imagine the specs as You like it...it has it all

This, except mine is a ‘93 RnB with active PJ configuration using Delanos and Glockenklang 4 knob.

A bass that feels and wears like an old comfy pair of your favourite jeans...
This is my Levis...

Spector Euro 4's....I own 6. All have the EMG BTS and active EMG Reverse P's and a J pickup. I rarely use the J pickup and run the Treble pot at center and the bass almost maxed.
Kind of agree with you...A Rick, but with a maple fretboard, silky paint-free neck and an oil finish. And a contoured body. That would be perfect!

Can't see this leaving the number 1 spot!
-Slab body
-Huge maple neck
-Stinger Stack single coil
-String thru 2 saddle bridge
-TI flats
This one has fit the bill for 35 years. Wish the previous knuckelhead owner didn't whip out the belt sander but it's part of this bass's history so I deal with it.

My Wal 5, but 3 pounds lighter. That'd be my dream bass.
