Appologies for getting into this late but:

* Aria Pro II SB1000 fretless
* Aria Pro II LEB Heritage (the first bass I had that didn't totally suck)
* Fender Deluxe Precision 5
* Kubicki Ex-factor
* Status/Musicman Stingray Classic Graphite 5
* Status S2 headed 5
* Status Stealth 5
* Wal Mark III 5
* Warwick Streamer BO 5
* Warwick Thumb NT 5

I have one of these exactly as specified, and two 'pretty close' right now !

Presently Have:

Ibanez BTB 1006 Fretless (No Barts, Yes on Vari Mid3 EQ, Made in Japan) [Very Happy, would like nicer wood though, and MV Pedula treatment on the finger board]

Ibanez BTB 456 [Very Happy, except Color, I Like Blue] 1mm on C at #12/2mm on B at #12

Ibanez BTB 455 [Very Happy, except Color, I Like Blue] 1mm on C at #12/2mm on B at #12

Ibanez BTB 405 (No Barts, Yes on Vari Mid3 EQ) [Very Very Happy, It is Blue, and has better Highs than the Barts, and set up more for Rock]

Would Like:

Status S2 Headless 6, Bolt on w/ Bend well, Blue LEDS

BassLab Double Neck 6 Fretted and Fretless

6-String Headless in really nice wood by David King

6 String B.C. Rich Mockingbird Supreme, w/5 Ply Neck (Bubinga/Maple something like that), Bolt on

Ibanez BTB 576 Refinished in Blue Moon (Just of giggles)

All would have to be set up by Rick Asher in Knoxville

Something is wrong with me, I am not too intrigued by much of anything else out there.

Haven't been thinking about basses or playing for many years, but last (very detailed!) list was:

1. MTD 535 myrtle on korina body, wenge neck w/ DR Lo-Rider nickel strings
2. AtelierZ fretless (Mas Hino) ash body, maple neck w/ D'Addario XL nickel wound strings
3. Fender Classic '60s Jazz Bass w/ Thomastik Jazz strings
4. Celinder alder body, rosewood fingerboard w/ La Bella 760 QM strings

And the other 6 basses are the ones I haven't discovered yet :D

Anybody selling any of those? OK, the strings don't have to be exactly as on my list hehehehehe
