Does anyone have ONE BASS thats their favorite?

I'm not talking a brand or a model, but one bass you own that is your absolute favorite bass, you consider absolutely perfect? Post pics!

Mine is my SQ series Precision. Not home right now, but I'll post pics later tonight.
 
there it is. A heavily modded 03 mim jazz bass. Delano pickups I cant remember the model but its the ones that were soposed to be like eb stingray pickups with the large magnets. And got completely re wired new pots and jack, a warmoth tort pickguard. hipshot ultralight tuners. And my latest mod will be a east j retro active preamp once i come up with the money.

'87 Peavey Foundation "S" is my favorite of my seven electric basses. (Carvin LB75, Carvin 5 string fretless, '93 Gibson T- bird, Fender Mustang reissue, Fender "parts" bass w/Fender '62 reissue neck, '93 Sigma STB acoustic).
 
My 2005/6 Highway 1 Precision with a J Worrell P pickup. It sounds so deep, clean, and pristine through my SVT-II / Genz 610-XB2. Seriously, nothing else I own has so much depth and shimmer to it.
 
No. In 20 years of playing I have never found one perfect do-it-all bass.

My current favourite and the only bass I've ever bought that I knew I would never sell is my '91 Thumb, but it's not perfect, I love the sounds but it's a little bit neck-divey.

I've thought about building a 5-string 24-fret Jazz, active and passive, but I often think it would end up being my idea of ugly or just plain characterless, and it would collect dust while I continued to gig my Warwick.

Any sound clips? I would love to hear that.
