What's on your G.A.S list and why?

The orange player p bass because I don't have a straight p and it looks awesome in orange.
Also some sort of stack with tubes. Live the warmth but they're so expensive. Been looking at a Justin deep end (I think it's called that?) Because they are modeled after an act but have a class d power amp. You can pick them up for around 2-3 hundred now I think.
 
-A high pass filter, because, curiosity.
-A fretless 5 string...I'll know it when I hear it & play it...I'm patient
-A pair of Nordy BigBlades in the "warm-n-wooly" flavor, & a Darkglass Tone Capsule (maybe?) for my fretted 5 (Schecter Riot 5; it's suffering from EMG right now, & methinks I found the cure).
OR,
-A G&L L-2500 Tribute, because MFD's cure most everything...:D
 
Cirrently on my G.A.S list:

Strandberg Boden - Love the headless design, dual sitting position body, and light weight.

Torzal (any model) - Fascinated by the ergonomic twisted neck/body design.

NS Design Radius CR (or) WAV (or) Ibanez Affirma - Want a fretted bass with piezo pickup.

Rob Allen Mouse - Want a short-scale fretless.

Fender Aerodyne - Light weight, fast neck, good-looking, PJ.

(You can look at my profile for currently own and previously owned basses for context.)

What about you?

Oh no! Your selections are all good but my curiosity is perked up by the Strandberg Boden and the Torzal even more. I've never seen one in a music store. I am not far from Manhattan. There must be a Torzal in NYC that I could try.

Hmm, my GAS list...

Well, lately, I've been wanting to get a cheap bass. Why? All my stuff is high-end custom (Stambaugh, CB, Wal), and every now and then I just wish I had some cheap bass that if I go to some rowdy party or campfire, I don't have to worry about some idiot messing with my $5000 bass. Thinking of getting one of those Sterling by Music Man ones.

If money was no object, I wouldn't mind getting one of those new Rickenbacker 5 strings, just to have one, although tonewise, I probably wouldn't use it on most of the things I currently play. Dream bass would be a Wal fretless 5, but I don't have 7 grand lying around, right now.

Wanna get a tiny and loud combo amp, for convenience.

I'm pretty set in the bass department, otherwise. Most of my GAS is for synths, right now.
