What's Your Favorite Looking Bass?

3tbsb Fender jazz. Think John Paul Jones.
Oh yeah and the Gibson nonreverse Thunderbird! Kind of a toss up with the Rick!
I have an infatuation with SG bodies. I've had a few Epiphones, short and long scale, but just can't get comfortable playing them.
Actually with some thought, even more hands down is the Gibson Explorer Bass (in korina)!

This One... Alembic "Balance K" style body with cocobolo top. Gives me a chubby every time.
Although it would be impractical for much of the music I play, I have always loved the look of the 'classic' Rickenbacker 4001 (w checked binding!).
But that Alembic "Balance K" just above is pretty awesome too!
There's just something about French curves...

Right now though I'm all about the Spector NS
If it has a natural finish (with probably an ash body) and a black PG -- oh, and a maple fretboard -- it's probably my favorite-looking bass du jour. A Dimension IV, today.
This wood/finish on any bass!This One... Alembic "Balance K" style body with cocobolo top. Gives me a chubby every time.
My all-time favorite look is the Stingray in the original 1976 ad, with the white pickguard and "radio" knobs.
jpj's bass is also my favourite looking, sounding and influential its just the best bass ever
Another Alembic, the Series Omega body
I also REALLY like the Bongo and Big Al, especially in bright neon colors
