What bass do you plan to get next?

I'm with Rakie. There's nothing missing, tonally,from my Variax. I want to put a thinner neck on it, and some better machines, but otherwise, I don't think any other single bass is on my list. It would be cool to put a fretless neck on one of them (I have two).

Not that there isn't a lot of nice basses I wouldn't want, but really... I love the feel of my two basses, i've played tons and tons and TONS of basses... hell, when my buddy picked up this BTB (That I now own) we went to 5 Sam ash and 3 Guitar Centers, played every one they had and *THIS* one felt good...

You know those 1/10000 Fender MIM's that supposedly feel godly ? That was the case with THIS BTB, same with THIS Lakland that I've got.

SO since im in love with the feel, figure I might as well go all out for the sound.
 
fender mia jazz then another cirrus 6 by the end of the year.

i want to have:
2 cirrus 6 (i have 1 already)
warwick streamer 5 ( have it)
fender mia jazz (will have it in a few weeks)
some kind of fret less at least a 5 if not 6 string

then i will stop for a long time i think. at least hope
 
My next bass probably wont come until I finish with college, which wont be for another 2-3 years, but hey a guy can dream right. So what I'll be dreaming about is a MTD 635-24, walnut with wenge/wenge. But we'll see what happens. :hmm:
 
I don't know how soon any of this is going to happen, but I'd love to get a Highway One P bass, in black, and throw a Tort guard on there. Then maybe a fretless Warmoth neck for my Hwy One Jazz (I just LOVE these Nitro Finishes, plus the BadAss bridge comes stock).

But first, I want:

-A lot of effects, EHX Clone Theory Chorus, EBS Compressor and Octave, BargeConcepts VFB-X+Expression pedal, Ibanez AD-9 Delay, MXR Phase 90, Xotic TriLogic Preamp, EHX Nano Bassballs, Boss RC20XL Loop Station, and Homebrew Hemotoma are all on the list. (Over $1500 in effects there, not counting the power supply and board)
-To sell my rig for what its worth, and drop another two hundred or so into those earnings for a Traynor YBA-200 (plus new preamp tubes) and an Avatar Neo 410 (will add a Neo 210 later).
 
A fretless Sei Singlecut - and it's already underway!! Yippee!!

Here's some pics of the body shaped and undergoing final sanding prior to having the high gloss lacquer applied (macassar ebony full facings, and macassar ebony used n the fretless fingerboard - with white LED's under the side dot position markers)
