What is your dream bass?

Well Ive got 3 of which only 1 is partially realistic in the next little while ... one of the new Ibanez premium SR1200s, but in 6 string! Thats the realistic one, except for the 6 string part as theyre only available in 4 and 5 :( or an MTD 635, Swamp Ash body, Wenge top

Too bad GAS prices are so high these days

A custom design with Manson Guitars.

It's all in my head right now. It will include, but not limited to:

-Chrome Finish (Or polished aluminum)
-On Board effects
-Active preamp
-Custom Body shape
-Possible Aluminum body (See Noah Guitars)
-Pedulla profile neck with drop tuners on every string
-Rechargable battery system with built in wireless system (Powers pedals, preamp and pickups if needed)
-Graphite neck or lightweight wood
-Built in tuner with mute switch
-Selectable LED dots on side of board and no dot neck with "Manson" logo at 12
-Possible multi faced body to allow multiple pick up configurations from P to J and Darkstar, humbuckers... Basically multiple detachable tops to allow routing for multiple pick up configurations depending on the tone needed. All pickups would be created to "snap mount" and have quick disconnects to allow switching of active/passive. I would also have a Wal preamp custom made, Sadowski preamp, manson preamp, bartolini preamp and many others setup for fast switching.
-Able to run 9v/18v/27v/36v with multiple effects that you can swap in and out like cartridges set to the settings I prefer (Muff/octave/synth, etc)
