Which bass are you getting next?

As for wishful thinking, the next bass I would like to order is one of these, in a fretless 5 with black hw and logo:

Probably won't buy anything for a while, but if/when I do, it'll have to be something completely different than what I already own. I'm thinking a custom headless design. Not sure what pickup config I'd go with though...I already have a HH and a P (and I'm not a J bass guy).
 
So, I'm fully stocked with a P, a juicy J-style, active 5, and even a 6. And an extra Wild Thing (yes, Danelectro) for pure fun factor.

I'm considering going for one of the two main fretless options: electric standard-style or electric upright. I've had a number of gigs recently where the sort of crossovery sound of either/both would have been ideal...and while I know the upright would involve learning to play a whole new instrument, I've borrowed acoustic ones and gotten thru sets of simpler blues stuff without hurting myself. I could do it.

We shall see.
