Currently I have no GAS. I just got the bass I was lusting after. I am content.
BUT FOR HOW LONG?
Basses: I need a Duck Dunn (rosewood board with blocks) and a Joe Osborn (maple board with blocks). I want a P bass and J bass with a maple neck, these seem like good alternatives to the Fenders, not that I'm a fender hater, I just prefer ash to alder.
Amp: I'd love a tube pre but I don't know what kind.

since I have found the Bass of my life which has THE sound (yes the sound you just put into words - it just IS there) 3 years ago (btw. the Bass is a Fender Master Built Jazz Bass that was built by Dennis Galuszka to my specs) I'm totaly GAS free.
Ok, I have added a CS 62 PBass in august (after 11 month of waiting) and next january my new Fodera (which should turn out as a 5 string version of my Jazz Bass hopefully) will be ready but that's it then
Maybe , but just maybe I could have some GAS for a Höfner Club Bass or an Italia Torino...

2012 Am. Std. Jazz Olympic White/Maple...arriving tomorrow.
I thought I was done after my Lakland USA Glaub (with Osborn neck)...but for some reason I wanted the 2012 Am. Std. Jazz despite currently owning a 2010 Jazz and a Lakland USA Osborn (among others). I guess it was those custom shop pickups and the 20% off I got.
Yikes!
Buy my Sterling in the TB classifieds to help me out!
I think I need a new fretless too.
Help!
GAS!

Danelectro. I want that tone. That's the tone I have been looking for! I have an idea to take $600 and get a WildThing and a Hodad. Maybe keep one in a case and hold onto it. I am surprised by the resale on some of the Danelectros. That MAY cure some GAS for awhile.
A USA Spector NS-2, in ultra violet or ultra amber, with the optional 5A tube quilted maple wings & Doug Wimbish neck profile.
Between that & my blue USA Spector NS-4 I picked up earlier this year, I should have my basses covered.

Since I have the Jazz bass angle covered, and I just got a new amp for home use, the next bass I want would be a Precision.
In time, when I am back out there again in bigger spaces, I'll need a bigger amp.
So, at minimum, I want to have a Jazz, a Precision, a small amp, and a bigger amp.
Halfway there on that.
Two more basses I would like to add down the road would be a fretless and a 5 string.

After recently completing my first build, a Jazz bass, and being completely satisfied with the way it turned out I have to say that nothing has me really GASing. I've been in half a dozen music stores and nothing really makes me go back for a second look.
I am so pleased with how the first bass turned out that I am thinking about building another, but this one would be either seafoam green or sonic blue with a maple bound and blocked fingerboard.
Other than that, the only thing I might really want (in case Santa is listening) is a Gibson Les Paul Standard bass, NOT the oversized version, in cherry sunburst. Funny though, I have never played one so I have no idea if I would even like it.

I am honestly relatively GAS free. I can always think of a couple things I want that would be nice, but I am extremely happy with what I have and can make great music on instruments, amps that inspire me.
That said; things on my radar:
Baer ML112 cabs
Aguilar Tonehammer 500
GK MB Fusion 800 (Due for release in Jan 2013)
Fender Active Deluxe Jazz V (Older one with SCN PU's) ..for that 'Fender sound'

I love it! GAS is really a terrible.... wonderful... thing !
I must share a quote from one of my band mates grandson.
Firs of all, "grandpa" has over 50 guitars and basses laying around, "plant corn...... get corn."
Qoute from 11 year old Bailey while in GC with his grandfather not to long ago, lusting over an Epiphone Thunderbird...... "Geez Gramps! I dont have to have it! But I need it!"
Starts young right?
