That's an easy one: See John turners collection, that sums it up for me 
Oh yeah...add a fretted and frettless 5 string from Conklin's custom shop!

If I really list all the basses I'd like to own, I guess I'd overwhelm TB database server.
+1, and some dream basses have yet to be dreamed up!

Sadowsky NYC P Bass
Something COOOL from Bud LeCompte
A really OLD but nice Fender P Bass in some rare color

You know, I'm thinkin I might just already have "it"
Or maybe it's because I just aquired "it" ... and GAS has yet to re-appear
But maybe just maybe this 1973 Jazz may be "IT"
... But then when Bud LeCompte completes the NAMM bass ... so many basses so little time!
