I'd love to have 10 Rickenbackers:
1. 4001CS (have one)
2. 1968 4003 in FireGlo
3. 1970-71 4001S in MapleGlo
4. A real Rose Morris model 1999
5. An '06 4003 75th Aniverssary model (on order!)
6. 4005 from around '67, any color
7. A late model 4003S to beat on
8. Trans red 4004 Cii
9. Gotta have a 4080 double neck just for fun!
10. Wish I had got a 4004 Lemmy for list, so I could sell it today for 5 more Ric basses!

- I once had impure thoughts. Oh, and I pluck my ear hair.
This thread is so old and long, that I don't know if I've even replied on it. Anyway, here are my choices:
- Fodera Emporer 5-string
- '62 Fender Jazz
- Sadowsky 5-string
- MTD 535
- Modulus Quantum 5
- '78 MM Stingray
- My '83 Fender P-Bass that my father bought for me in high school
- '75 Fender Jazz fretless
- NS EUB 4-string
- Conklin US-made 5-string of some sort
That was easier than I thought!

Update:
1.) Birdsong cortofusion prototype - walnut body, single neck humbucker. Still my baby after 3 months.
2.) a Birdsong cortofusion in maple w/tort pg and single bridge pickup.
3.) a 4 string Wishbass in medium/dark woods.
4.) at least one other Birdsong Cortobass or Cortofusion - to be determined.
5.) a Jazz in black or sunburst w/tort pg. A Highway One would do the job.
6.) Ric 4001 or 4003
7.) my Breedlove acoustic
8.) an 8-string of some kind - preferably cool and vintage looking.
9.) a Wal
10.) Fender Rhodes bass keys

I already have 10. That kinda makes it easy 
Left to Right:
'86 Ric 4003
'92 G&L LB-100
'02 G&L L-2000
'78 Gibson RD Artist
'04 Ibanez Artcore Single Cutaway
'00 G&L ASAT
'78 Gibson RD Artist
'05 SX Jazz
'83 Music Man Cutlass I
'05 Schecter Hellcat VI (not pictured)
Ideally the Ibanez Artcore will be switched out for a Gibson EB-650 and I'll add the Fender Jag Bass in place of the SX. My Schecter Hellcat VI I'd swap for a Fender Bass VI also...

Nice! I have #1 (sorta), #2, used to own #4, and still have #10. I also have an oldschool neckthrough six string of the exact same flavour. I'm pretty busy working on the other 6 on my list!mimaz said:I've got #1 and #6 on this list covered, plus a few spares. The other 8 look nice though, so I'd better get busy.
