Whatever bass I am after at the time is my dream bass, whether it's on order, or the first search of the day. I love the thrill of the hunt, and I'm an addict.

Ha ha, def not a flamed maple dude indeed. But I can dig a nice grain in some finishes. I love the trans burgundy Lakland does. Or say, Wal basses.
If it was a pink jazz, then I recall recent sessions. Great bass. I also frequent a Geddy jazz here and there. But ultimately I'm a P-bass style guy. Hence all my Laklands are Glaubs of different variety, minus my Decade.
+1
Ahhhhhh " the thrill of the hunt"....I am right there with ya on that Gary!
( but you must have known THAT) lol

I'll admit that the neck on a Geddy really bugs me, so I've never messed with one that didn't leave me cold. I was never a P guy until I begrudgingly bought my current P. now I'm sold sold sold on them.
hahaha nope Elmer is not on the hunt really.
More or less content with my current 4 US Wakwands.
I think? Sort of?
But I ammmmmm on the prowl for the mate to my recent purchase......I think you and I have spoken about this?

Right now I have the laklands of my dreams...but there are always new dreams
OH MY!!!!
Thank you Jes!!!! I appreciate the support!
"you gotta Frump down" could become a new term!?
As for clothing....my dress has changed drastically over the years...I used to have to wear suits or ties all of the time and maybe owned 1 pair of jeans (and only a few shorts)....now that I work for myself an no one is in teh office but me I still have as many suits (but only wear them on occasion) and the jean/short count has gone WAY up....
also - I used to wear out dress shoes and keep my tennis shoes for years....now it is the other way around!
wow! interesting! I woud not have thought that!
I have mine....the Bubinga top'd bass Carl built me (and it did not cost any more than a Lakie!)
love the 1.75 neck Branden! would love to hear some clips of the single CHI P!
That REALLY is half the fun!
Thanks! glad to get the Dbl J endorsement!
Yes...yes you will! glad that went your way! that bass rawks!
I agree....that neck is WAY too narrow....I always end up reaching over the neck at teh headstock end!
Yes and I ordered it
hehe....I know of a BIGGER splurge! but that was "for the family"....
LOL!
yupper!
OH MY!!!!
Hey, I live in *Montréal,* Doude. Everything gets dirty at *some* point up here.

Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
I'm sorry. Really I am. Please don't cry, it'll make me cry.
At least you didn't dress up in your nicest outfit at a business conference and attend what turned out to be a costume party, then win. Once upon a time I went to one of those events. Turns out when I got there, it was a "Dress Like a Geek/Dork" night. Winning was humiliating - even though the first prize was one of those amazing baskets of future inebriation sort of things that took a hand-truck to get back to my room. 
On another note - my solution to wrinkled clothes is to wear everything so tight that the wrinkles don't stand a chance. 
Roadkill - see what I was trying to avoid? You just had to go and make me be honest, didn'tcha?
You guys aren't expensive enough to be interesting. I go to lottery daydreamland and manage to 'spend' over $10,000 on a Masterbuilt Fender, and you guys can't even come up with a Lakkie that has *something* more than you already have?
Branden gets a 'get outta jail free' card because seeing him with something too 'fancy' would just seem... off, because I've seen him with so many good, solid Ps. Doude? Considering what he's just bought, I think I know what his answer would be.
But I was hoping for at least *somebody* to 'build' a bass we could talk about.
but it actually makes me think of something: If I ever get the scratch together for another NYC Sadowsky, it's going to have another obnoxious top on it. If I could afford a US Lakland, I'm not so sure. It almost seems like, whereas Roger's exquisite taste in wood makes the fancy-topped Sadowsky a fairly common thing, Laklands seem to be more Fendery, with the identity part covered by the bridge and the headstocks.
I think that, if I were to trade up my 55-02 to a 55-94, the top would have to be flamed or something, but the AJ series kind of leaves me cold.

Doude called me in tears. So then *I* started to cry. My 9-month-old was so distraught at seeing her Papa crying that she totally melted down. The missus can't stand it when our kiddo cries, so she broke down in tears.
All because of you and your cruelty, woman!

:SNORT: Okay - if that's your story, I'll let you end it any way the pen takes you.
I'm never unnecessarily cruel though - only fondly candid and out to prevent my friends and family from public humiliation.
That said, there's a game we play in my house. It's called, "Are You Gonna Wear THAT in Public?" We plan a trip to wherever (mall, grocery store, flea market, etc.) and we can't leave the house until everyone is dressed in something that makes the rest of the group say, "Are you gonna wear that in public?" It's actually kinda fun. Somewhere out there, we're probably on one of those People of WalMart websites, but I can assure you, I am not purple sweatpants napping on the bench or drunk stripper chick sleeping it off in the cart from beneath the groceries.
