Probably gonna set that one up for slapping.
Just a suggestion.
I think you mean the Sean Connery model.

Since it's "Dime's" bass, does it automatically detune -40 cents? 
It's hard for me not to like a bass.... but those are bad, wall art only IMHO
Well, if we're going that route, how 'bout the Fender Putter Smith Precision? Sorry, it's a rather obscure reference but certainly relevant since we've mentioned Bond...James Bond.

EWW! sorry but friggin eww . IMO
I was just thinkin that. Would it be fretless?
Now I didn't know that! As you know, the Sean Connery reference was referring to a rather unfortunate attitude regarding slapping, I won't elaborate further.
I seriously read that as Bill Cosby for a hot sec.
Not sure what that bass would look like. For one it would be locked up, so ya couldn't play it. It would be old.. Ima stop there.
I would be interested in the Jaco Pastorius Fender fretless Stratocaster road worn with no pickguard.

Which neck and body it had on it would depend on the week and how hard up for money you are. It would hang in the pawn shop for a couple weeks every month.
Yeah, that Dimebag bass is cool and all, but I just can't afford it right now. I'm saving up for the John Coltrane Signature Bass, which has a little saxophone inlay at the 12th fret, and the Burt Bacharach Signature Bass -- this one is really cool because, not only does it have "Walk On By" emblazoned on the head stock, but it plays that song by itself if you push the little button by the volume knob.
Then there is the Diana Krall Signature contralto bass. Sexiest instrument ever. No... I have no funding for the Dimebag. Sorry.

There's no bass-specific content in this, but your post reminded me of it; and it seems to belong in this thread:
No but now I want one. Gee, thanks.
Plus I'd totally rock a bass version of the Dean Dimebag V/explorer thingy with the lightning bolts on it. Not even sorry.
I'm anxiously awaiting the Dolph Lungren "tactical" Precision Bass. Kevlar reinforced, "hummer" pickups, and a bayonet lug on the headstock. Mounting the bayonet increases sustain and "kills" dead spots. Comes with a ballistic nylon gig bag (or "go" bag) with magazine pouches for your copies of Bass Player.
