Well, a lot of things:
Fender Bass VI (Japan would be nice, but I won't say no to Pawn Shop)
Fender Roger Waters Precision Bass
Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Pro IV
and Orange OB410 (Probably a OB115 too).
Those are the one I could eventually get. The ones that would take a while:
Orange AD200B
Rickenbacker 4003 (Jetglow).
The usual stuff...
 
Fuzzrocious BDPG and demon king and a TC vortex. I ordered a BDPG yesterday :) I have a serious problem. Also I've been looking for a new trem lately and someone just turned me on to the lovepedal Babyface last night. I got major GAS for that. But, if I can time it right with tax season and or Christmas, Id like to get a couple basses. That blacktop P bass looks like the one for me and or the modern J bass. The CV P looks awesome too. And an acoustic, maybe the ibanez AEB10. Those are my big GAS items at the moment.
 
I was at my Lesson today and last week we had talked about 5 string basses and the guys was showing me his Lakland and after the lesson we noodeled with it a little. This week I got there a little early and they has just got in a EB MM Stingray 5 - natural with rosewood neck and 2 humbuckers. I was looking at it when he showed up and he grabbed it after the lesson and we messed with it. I really like the way it fit in my hand and it was a really comfortable neck... I have never really thought about a 5 string - being new to bass - but I think that is what I may end up with in a couple of months... Doubt it will still be at the store but...
 
In no particular order...

Aaaaannnddd...that's it (I think). :D

All are shown in the color choices I would prefer them in (except for the Shorty, which I'd like in Matte Green Stain, and the Sterling, which I'd prefer with a rosewood fretboard).
 
Two things.

Like TheNecatoR: a Fender Japan bass VI, but I don't want a Pawn-shop (I really need the chrome plates and the standard pickups, it's all for "da blingbling")

A sixties-modelled sunburst jazz-bass. But that will come in the next months.

I was just going to modify it to get the chrome and the pickups, haha. It's not that easy to get a Japanese Bass VI without selling my kidneys here.
And about the Jazz, something like this?

(She has now 60's pickups, stacked knobs and block inlays)

Same here. They CAN be imported, but you'll pay big money for that (1200€ at least). As for the modding: can be done, but keep in mind that the control-plate is shaped differently from the Pawn-Shop supersonic, Jaguar,... and the switchplate is with 4 switches instead of 3. I have plans for them that I made a while ago, but I've archived those plans, and I've archived them so well/bad I forgot where I put them :rolleyes:. And the Pawn-series has a trussrod at the headstock, which I find really ugly, so that's a no-go for me.

I'm aiming at [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Ofcourse with all the chrome and blingbling and flatwounds (and springmutes)

This "this", is effin pretty.
 
I know, I know, way too many, I know already!

It seems like there are always a few items on my wish list. Pictured from top to bottom, it would be great to find both a solid body vintage Gibson EB-1 Violin Bass and a Rickenbacker 3000 some day in decent shape and at a reasonable price. I would also love to own a medium scale Fender Performer and a Gibson Les Paul bass replica, both of which simply don't exist - I will need to have them custom built for me. I would also like to pick up a Warwick Jonas Hellborg model someday, which is only available in medium scale.
