[Korladis]

Ten? Really? I can have ten electric basses? Holy crap that's awesome.

1. Rickenbacker 4001, 1970's, navy blue sunburst (already have this one, it's at the shop, should be finished soon)
2. Rickenbacker 4003s Blackstar
3. Rickenbacker 4003FL fretless, probably mapleglo or fireglo
4. Rickenbacker 4001V63 in fireglo or mapleglo
5. Rickenbacker 4003S5 in jetglo or midnight blue, or a Rickenbacker 4004Cii5 in green or blue
6. My fretless acoustic (it's a Johnson, actually) or some other fretless acoustic
7. Some sort of Rickenbacker acoustic bass
8. Fender Jazz Bass
9. Custom built Fender Jazz bass with neck through construction and different pickups/location
10. My first bass, a Peavey Milestone IV (originally a P-bass copy), which has now been heavily modded with a 4001 pickup, and will eventually be modded with an MM pickup as well and another pickup near the neck as well as a badassII bridge.

Ten? Really? I can have ten electric basses? Holy crap that's awesome.

No foolin'

Lessee, two Rics, a Jazz, a P, a Wal, a Kubicki, a Steinberger and a Stingray, fretted & fretless.

That's .. .uh.. 9.

I've got change left over.

 

[John D Harris]

I'd like to have a bass that doesn't exist (that I know of).

A Dingwall-type fanned fret 5 string (37" 'B' and 34" 'G' string scales) with a semi-Genesis (Modulus) type neck except with the neck reinforcing material to be carbon fiber and shaped kind of like a pi symbol 'TT', with three piece rock Maple neck, a Curbow rockwood fingerboard, bolt-on neck, center block of the body is heavy Northern Ash, body wings of soft Curly Maple, Nordstrand dual-coils with tap switches, Aguilar OBP-2 preamp with active/passive switch, VTC, Hipshot A bridge & tuners, and Sadowsky Nickel-plated round-wound strings.

I think that would be 'my' ultimate bass guitar.
Not sure the other nine would matter, because I'd probably never play them (unless one of them was just like the above, but with flat-wound Sadowsky strings).

I had forgotten about this post.
Dang! Probably the only thing I'd change would be to make the preamp (on both) an Audere and the pickups on the flatwound-strung bass Nordstrand dual-coils and on the roundwound-strung bass use Q-Tuner pickups.
Those two basses should cover all the bases.

[TolerancEJ]

The following are my top 10 basses. Of my wishlist, I currently own Zero of them (sniff). The list is in no particular order.
- Conklin BDGT-7 String
- Music Man Bongo HH 6
- Warwick Thumb 6
- Fender Steve Bailey Signature Fretless VI
- Ritter Jupiter 6
- Fodera Victor Wooten Yin Yang 5
- Hamer Chaparrel CH-12 (Need either an 8 or 12-String Bass in the mix. This one is not too expensive.)
- Fender Victor Bailey Acoustic-Electric V (Need an acoustic bass too in case of power outage or to play on a beach.)
- Carl Thompson 6-String w/ Scroll
- F Bass BN6

If I can sneak in a number 11, I also would like to have an upright bass.
