Which bass are you getting next?

So yeah, which bass are you willing to get next?
I wish this one as my next bass, it's made by a local Luthier (from Buenos Aires, Argentina). Exactly like this one but 5-stringed and with EMG pickups :)

Another Ibanez Mikro, as soon as the weathered black model becomes available again through Thomann (big European musical equipment store), coming begining of December:

Already got this one which is my main:

It's one of the old ones with basswood body (the new one got mahogany body) and then I swapped the stock pickups with a pair of P/J EMG Geezer Butler pickups, as well as I swapped the chrome colored stock bridge with a cheap black standard clasic Fender type one.

Always nice with a backup.

Edit!: Although it is no natural beauty compared to the wathered black Mikro, I think I decided to get one of the new Jackson Minion basses in green instead: Which bass are you getting next?

Edit 2!: Had seconds throughts yet again, and decided for this instead: Soon NBD with planned mods!

a 6 string headless with carbon neck.
Been thinking about a 6 string too! I've never even seen a 6 string headless bass, sounds badass.

I have all the basses I need and then some, but if I won the lottery a StingRay Classic would be at the top of the list.

You can't go wrong with a stingray. My main bass is a SUB stingray 5, it's not a "true" Musicman but still has that MM tone that i dig so much.
An EBMM Bongo 4 HH. Hoping they have some new colors next year as I am not wild about what they offer now. I can wait.

What color are you looking for?
By the way, can you give me your opinion of the bass i've posted? (Based on the looks only). I'm just curious that people love it or hate it lol.

I picked up this exact bass late last year, bought it as a travel/practice bass. I wasn’t expecting much for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. It’s my first short scale as well. Turned out to be a great little bass, I really like it, so much better than expected.

My next bass will be my last bass -except for a couple of projects currently in the works - as it will complete my herd. 24 basses is more than enough, I think. It will be a long scale hollow body. Not a Semi -hollow; a true hollow body - like this Gretsch White Falcon. My problem is, that I'm a lefty, and left handed basses like this are about as common as T Rex's roaming the forests of Wyoming. But, there's bound to be one around here somewhere...:whistle:
