If you won the lottery

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but what the heck, I'm gonna ask again :p im intrigued :)

If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 bass guitars you would buy?

I'll go first, in no particular order:

Spector - Rex 4 (Holoflash)
Wal - Mk 2b (Natural Finish)
EB MM - Bongo 4 string (Sterling Silver, black pg)
 
I would buy a bunch of Ibanez Soundgear basses, A few Ernie Ball Music Man basses and lately I have been looking at the Lakeland basses. I really like the looks of them but have never played one but I'm assuming for the price that they cost, they sound good too.
 
Warwick Streamer Stage II 4- or5-string natural finish
Musicman Stingray 5H Graphite Pearl, Black/maple, blue dawn, pacific blueburt...(too many great colors to choose from honestly)
Musicman Bongo 5HH Lava Pearl or Desert Gold with white pearloid p/g
 
After 2 girls at once (movie reference) I'd buy enough gear to make my own basses and hire someone to show me how to make it all work. Work with wood, graphite and aluminum. If I was to buy instruments I'd get some vintage stuff that would look good on display in my new home. An Entwistle Alembic Explorer, one of Gene Simmons early non axe basses, and black double neck Rickenbacker like Geddy's. Would I want one of those to play? Nah.
