Theres several basses id add to the wall if money was no object.
The previously mentioned p bass and a gibson ebo will end up mine eventually.
I havnt really looked at basses in years to be honest. I always knew the jazz was next. Alot has changed since i was last into buying gear. I guess it just bugs me not knowing whats out there. Id hate to plunk money on a pbass and find out my next love was just off in the distance unknown to me
Why do you force a buy on yourself when you don't want any of it and you have two unusued basses ?
I ran out of GAS so I bought a motorcycle. Try that.
If you've run out of standard GAS, you might also try mash-up hobbies:
The 2018 Gibson SG Std. Walnut.

Especially bassists.
I hear this bass=tool analogy a lot and I subscribe to it as well. And I totally get what you're saying. but i was thinking about it- I have tools in my workshop that I don't use that often, but I wouldn't get rid of them just because they are seldom used. For example I have a screwdriver that I use all the time but I also have a toilet auger. Thankfully the toilets in my house rarely get jammed up. But when they do- I'm very glad I can retrieve exactly the implement I need to get the job done without having to go shopping again or order it etc...
So if basses are also tools- couldn't it be ok to have some that aren't in your main line up but you still like having in the arsenal?
And dude, this is no way a dig- just a legitimate curiosity about the analogy of bass=tool. And what's more I agree that at some point- what is the use of having a bunch of anything if you can't or don't use it?
I have bought and sold many many (many) different brands and types of bass guitars to now, after some 30 years of playing, I have settled for two active five stringers and two Rics (one being a v63, which sounds more oldskool Ric then the 4003 does). I also own a japanese P bass with customshop pickup, but that sounds dull and boring and seriously lacks bottom end compared to the Rics, Zon Sonus and Fender Marcus Miller sig V.
Don't get a P they are absolutely the most overrated instruments in the universe.

Music Man is probably outta my price range as much as a stringray would be awesome.
I agree on the maple board but it would have been a fender usa at twice the price of my MIM
I keep my eye open for a good pbass. I have only played 1 i liked alot and its parked ar my buddies jam spot. Its on the list for looking at but probably not this round of buying.
Check out the 63 AVRI Precision. Then we will have the same basses.
