What basses are on your wishlist?

I tried to narrow down my wishlist to those two which i felt a like reasonable and logical addition to my range:

A Jazz Bass (and I want a Sadowsky NYC)

A 5 strings Strung E to C

But I wouldn't mind a Mike Lull PJ 4 in Sunburst and a Ken Smith Black Tiger as well
 
With the recent P purchase I'm pretty over it now, considering even letting a few go. Not my big ones, just the ones I picked up for stupid low prices I never play.
Heads grab my attention here and there, but it's nothing serious, unless an incredible deal pops up. That seems to happen whenever I'm not lookin though.

Im eyeing the wine red Jack Casady Ephiphone almost daily and its getting harder to resist.

Also wanted a Fender Jazz sunburst since I was like 12y old.

But just recently started playing and I feel like I have to deserve getting new gear by getting better at playing first even tho I have some money put aside for them.

This badass bird....and I ordered it today! So none now.
 
My wish list consists of features/specs, not specific basses, but certain brands and models are known for them:
  • Extra long (or multi) scale basses - Carl Thompson, Fodera, Dingwall...
  • Hollowbodies (34" or up) - Epi Jack Casady, Lakland, Warwick Star Bass, Fodera AJ Presentation II...
And it's not so much a wish list, but more a curiosity list. I've only spent a limited amount of time playing basses with any of these design features (and only in stores), so I want to explore further. But I'm quite happy with my P too...

The only spot in my herd that's unfilled is "long scale hollow body". A Gretsch G5440LSB Electromatic would be nice; I suppose I could get over the bling and take a White Falcon bass, too. Unfortunately, they don't make leftys.., and neither does anybody else, apparently...:(

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he? :laugh:
In reality, I'll buy maybe 1 or 2 of the above basses.
I'm not gigging nearly as much as I used to, and I have too many basses as it is.
