here's a nice fantasy...

Hm. Either:

Sadowsky standard 5ver, swamp ash body
Spalted maple top, accent line
Natural finish
Ebony fretboard, abalone dots
Black hardware

or:

US Lakland 55-94, swamp ash body
Spalty top, accent line
Natural finish
Nordstrand NJ5FS in neck position, MM5.3 in bridge position
Audere 3ZB pre
Ebony fretboard, abalone dots
Black hardware, including the bridge

I can't decide which. Maybe I'll get both.
 
I would want a metallic black P bass body, string through body, black hardware, humbucker at the bridge and a reverse P pickup, passive, volume/volume/tone configuration with 3 way pickup selector (HB,HB/P,P) black pearloid gaurd, maple jazz neck, dyed black birds eye maple fret board (stablized?), black neck binding, no dots on the board, matching head stock, reverse headstock.

Yep that would pretty much rock!

Peace

The most expensive bass I could find.

Then I'd sell it and use the money as a down payment on a new Harley Davidson Softail Heritage Classic.

I don't need a new bass. But my bike is due for replacement.
Very nice. Those Heritage Classics are comfy. But I'd miss the get up and go of my Sporty. So much nicer in the twisties. :)

I'd go for a '60's Precision or Jazz... in good shape... and play the hell out of it.
