A 1967-68 Kent 822 in great condition. Any of the 4 factory finishes would be fine.

I am waiting for our house to sell so I can order a Carvin PB5. That's my dream bass.Not all of us have a ready supply of GAS money, and I find myself lusting after basses I'll realistically likely never own, or at least not until my kids are launched and my retirement is funded.
In addition to a 1985 Peavey Patriot, my main bass is this 2014 MIM Classic 50s Lacquer. I've also owned a 2006 '57 AVRI in trans white, a 2008 American Standard P in Black, a 2010 American Standard P in Charcoal, a 2003 (IIRC) American Series P in Butterscotch, a '98 American Series P in Black, a 90s MIM fretless Jazz in that deep blue/violet colour, and a Squier Vintage Modified fretless sunburst Jazz from around 2006-2007.
What I *want* includes:
- a single coil P (ideally in Nitro butterscotch/yellow), either a Tele or a reissue of some sort
- a Roadworn Flea Jazz (one of the best necks I've ever had my hands on)
- a P or a J in a sparkle or metallic finish, like an Adam Clayton sig P, or even a MIA Candy Cola P or J
- a 4-string Stingray
- a 5-string P bass
- a Lakland Duck Dunn
I can forget about Santa, I'll never be good enough for any of that, let alone all of it.
What's on your wish list?
Pics of my Classic 50s P bass included.

I was working up a pretty big GAS list until recently, but I powered through I guess and the G.A.S. pangs have largely died out on their own. Currently, the only thing I’m still jonesing for is a Mustang PJ, in either seafoam green or white
I don’t need one, but ‘twould be nice!

I just got my dream P. There is now another one available from the same builder for a song I'll probably end up with.
For some reason I really want an Ashley Purdy Outlaw Dean. I'm not like a fan of him or his band, I just like it for some reason. I'm sure people here will beg to differ. I like different, and it's definitely different. Just missed one the other day for a nice price, it still stings slightly.

Only one ... a Fender Am Elite P in a 5 string. Now if they'd just make it.
I don't want to think about it....I have 37 basses and I still have a wish list.....
Oh, okay, I'll at least own up to this: A Gibson Ripper in Black with a maple neck like this:

I would love to have a Wilkins fretless 5 or an HH5 with Ulyate pickups in it. They would go nice with my other 2 Wilkins PJ5s...
Other basses I would GAS for do not exist. Like a 5 string Guild Starfire with real Darkstars or a 1965 5 string P bass

Changed my mind.
I’m want another maple fretboard Caprice.
Maybe I’ll go for white next time .

Wow! Yes!! What a beaut thing. Maton really built some ‘original’ shapes back then. The Wildcat with ‘bite’ is out there as well.
Been wondering about building a Big Ben tribute, are they single coil or humbucker pickups ?
Im pretty sure its a single coil, it is the original pick up in this bass.
Elrick Expat Evolution 5 in Matte black. I want one so bad I can taste it. I'll need to save for a while, and sell a bunch of stuff, though. Maybe in a couple years I'll have one.
