Which bass are you getting next?

While I’ve got no money for basses period, that hasn’t stopped me from looking. In an ideal world, one in which I had money, I’d buy a Modulus Q6, as I love my Q4 and want to try a 6 string, a Modulus FU4, a Stingray 4, and/or have one custom built by the parents of one of my good friends. Sadly, the world isn’t perfect...

Either:
• A p, to encourage playing better with less options, rather than changing tones all the time.
• A fretless, a 5(+) string, an active bass or an ABG to experiment and have "appropriate" basses for different gigs (I currently have all passive 4 strings- a mex jazz, epi tbird and Cort p/j)
• A Warwick Custom Shop Corvette $$ (in an ideal world where student debt isn't a thing).

I've got 15 basses and have taken to distributing them around to friends and family in case a jam breaks out.

But.....a fretless Eastwood Classic IV tempts me. 30.5", semi-hollow fretless, mmmmmmm.

Heard some dodgy quality issues, though. So maybe not. Already have the worlds best fretless in my stable anyway, Drake Cricket.

we stopped in at pasadena guitar center today, and i spent the entire visit playing a torino red mustang bass. unless there are big changes in the universe, it - or the seafoam green model - will be my next bass.

I have a Reissue I picked up at my luthier getting a new trussrod and some fretwork - it was pretty clean, though - and he does outstanding work... It looks pretty much like this:



Although I'm considering doing something like this with it, but keeping the pickup original:
