...And it'll be mine, some day....
This bass finished in a grey/black burst would be about perfect to me! (minus the gold hardware)

My dream bass that is not TOOO far out of reach as lets say....a Fodera....is a Warwick Thumb Bolt-On 4 string.
Here's my dream bass.
pictures are still a little light, but you get the idea.
Here's a shot if looking at it while someone else is playing it.
Here's a standing up shot...
A shot of the backside..
Here's a shot of the back of the headstock..
The sexy as hell headstock. (Note the bassnutz inlay)
A shot of the inside control cover.....

I was just thinking about this today:
Sadowsky 5-string Reverse P/J pickups
Burgundy Burst color, ebony fretboard, black hardware
This color, but with 5-strings, reverse P/J, and ebony FB:

Of course, AJ's old bass was the inspiration, but the spalted top adds major $$$ to the price:

Well, I have an ash body (with quilted maple top), maple neck, ebony fingerboard P/J 5 on order, with one revese P pickguard (tort) and one regular P pickguard (mint) and a '59 burst.
I asked Roger about black hardware (I am a big fan of black hardware) and he talked me into chrome on an instrument with some "vintage roots" to its look. I trust Roger comletely. He also suggested a vintage tint to the neck and headstock. So, great minds think somewhat alike.

Oh yeah, I also currently own several "dream basses" from the guy a few posts up, and he's working on my "dream fretless" right now, aren't you, Pete? Get back to work!
My Stambaugh is the first of many dream basses. I did design it to be the workhorse bass though until I can get a fretless, a singlecut, and an ERB.
My dream bass is a Zon Sonus Custom 4 with the optional midrange control, in black with black hardware. I was never really into 'high-end' basses, and because of that I never checked out Zons until one day when I picked up a Sonus and played it. Long story short, it didn't take me long to realise that bass had everything I wanted. And in a few months, that dream will become reality.
My dream bass would either be a black 5-string Ric 4004 with a 24 fret neck or a Cliff Burton Aria Pro II.

I've come to the conclusion that the Sadowsky Metro Ultra Vintage 70's bass in either a '59 Burst or Three tone burst with white binding and blocks is pretty much the end all be all of basses for me. Just so classic and cool-looking. And no question about the tone, playability and craftsmanship.
Here's a pic of one.
If only someone would buy my Warwick already.

The top and back look incredible

Thanks again Pete, this bass wouldn't be as sweet as it is if it wasn't for you. Trust me, your name and a link to your site will be added to the full review.
You are my hero!!!!
Well
I like the look of a flea bass, gibson grabber and an early 70s Jazz.
Out of those, the Jazz though. Simple, cliche, overused, brilliant.
