Pretty much anything I don't recognize the name of. It's amazing how many builders there are these days.

What Do You HAVE to Look At?

I read all ads for vintage Fender basses. Being left-handed, it's all just eye candy for me, though.
I'm fascinated by Wal basses - have been since the early 90s... I'll never be able to afford one so all I'll ever be able to do is LOOK. Prettyyyyyy....
The only other bass I can see me buying for a very long time is a Fodera... So I check those out, cry 'cuz I can't afford any in the classifieds, then look at boutique jazz 5ers.
Top two definites are Warwick and Fodera. I'm a huge Warwick nut, so that's a given, and recently I've become quite enamored with Fodera's, so I have to look at them whenever I can.
Some of the others:
Dingwall
Birdsong

I too am guilty of looking at Roscoe's. used prices for Roscoe's seem to be great. I look for Brubakers too.
There have been some amazing deals lately...great basses at full price so used is a steal.
Every single Fender anything. Squier, too. Gibson and Rickenbacker. Ibanez. I am so unfamiliar with some of the other basses, and I just don't get a lot of the boutiques, especially single cutaway. Every now and then, one just blows me away.
