Fender J-bass, Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003, Tobias, any Alembic, and especially Britney Spears (she is so shaggable IMHO).

hey
wow, i'm actually a type!anyway, i've played some roscoes, and i thought they were pretty nice, a few years back i almost bought a 6 that had lane poors in it to use as a backup, but i ended up getting another conklin (their mid-priced New Century Session model - killer bass that cost me less than the roscoe would've).
however, i think, since you asked, that you should check out the groove tools Bill Dickens model 7 string, or else the groove tools gt7. if you like them, but would like some more customized design or woods, check out the conklin custom instruments. imo, conklin _is_ the custom shop, anything is available. bill one time did a 7 string jazz bass, with the same kind of neck and body and even the headstock. while i don't know why anybody would _want_ something like that, it was cool.
conklin made the first 9 strings, he made an 11 string about 4 years ago that i played (it was a 7 string with the top 4 strings doubled - very cool sound, had piezos with seperate outs for the doubled strings along with magnetics), he's made fanned fret basses including a pretty cool 8 string fanned fret lined fretless (down to low F#), and he's probably made over 500 7-string basses by hand in his shop (not counting the groove tools, which are made in korea).
so i think you should check out conklin.

strings! strings! i need more strings!
Though I'm not a real fan of Conklin's body design, I do think his basses have the best neck joints on the market. The tapering of them makes it an effortless transition into the higher registers.
About the OP: My favorite body design is probably the Spector.
My favorite would have to be the sterling body style. Very comfortable. I also love the body of a classic jazz bass.
