David King - one of each, please
Wittman Aurora
BassLab STD VI - w/ & w/o frets and a doubleneck
BassLab L-bow VI
Now I passed 10 items, but I'd still add a few, own produce as well as e.g. Drozd, Leduc, Sei, Ares, Nadjalin, Unicorn, Mattisson, Status, Shuker....lots European stuff, actually!

P.S. All head free, and most fret free as well, of course! D.S.

I've played guitar for 20 yrs, bass recently and can't think of 10 COMBINED that I'd absolutely have to include in a list of ten. Let me think a second.....

Nope, can't list ten absolutes, now a wish list of what I'd like to have we can go over ten.

1. Bongo 5H fretted
2. Sterling 5 HH fretted
3. Sterling 5 HH fretless
4. Fender Hot Rodded Precision
5. Ernie Ball Stingray 2 band
5. Custom franken-Jazz
6. Mike Lull Jazz
7. Peavey Cirrus 5 string
8. a fancy Dingwall
9. F-bass
10. a cheap franken-P to play with.
 
#359
IMHO there is no point drooling after a bass (or basses) that we have not used for few sessions, rehearsals or gigs. So from my herd, the top 10 are
1-4) Dingwalls
5) Ken Lawrence Brase I
6) MTD 535
7) Ritter Roya 5
8) Status Empathy 5
9) F Bass BN5
10) Manne Trea
