What's numero uno on your GAS list?

Realistically - another Spector. The European neck through. I haven't decided on a finish. I really like the natural woods, but I like the blue quite a bit and the green seems really cool too. Also pondering the Ian Hill model because of the thinner neck. Downside: the lefties are all four month special orders. I have a Rebop in black cherry that I lucked upon...

Actually needed: some cabs and a good power amp to go with my RBI.

Semi-realistically: a Fafner head or a Mesa Boogie Titan V12 (just because)

Unrealistically: the Eventide H8000.
 
A fretted Roscoe LG-3005
Swamp Ash body with a Bubinga top
35" Scale (of course)
Aguilar OBP-3 preamp
Nordstrand DC-5 pickups
Wenge Wedge neck
Ebony board with plenty of sapwood
Diamondwood nut
Black & Gold Hardware

I can almost taste it... :crying:
 
I'm currently thinking of selling my 51P:

...and replacing it with a '62 American Vintage RI.

Please talk me out of it (or into it). ;)
 
Nice to see someone else who digs 16.5 spacing. With all the 19mm guys around here I feel like a freak...

I just know what feels most comfortable to me....I used to have 36" scale/19mm spacing basses.....my little hands just didn't dig that.....and my playing has changed and the smaller basses just work for me best. I've got a Ristola 33" scale bass with 16.5mm spacing in the works. I'm very excited.
