Which GAS will you succumb to in 2013?

2013 will be spent mostly saving and shedding, with the intention of getting something along the lines of a Warwick $$ 5 in 2014. (I've made some promises to myself about not getting it until I've reached certain goals).

Ill probably pick up a sansamp bddi or something along the way though to placate my GAS... I could use an amp and a decent 2x10 too. Crap.
 
I fear I will before the year is out appear on bended knee before the Minister of Finance and plead my feeble case for the purchase of an Ampeg or Bruce Johnson Scroll bass. I've already begun to contrive "deals" in my sleep and in moments of quiet detachment that might be of benefit when the time comes to make my case. Damn you GAS! Damn you to Hades!
 
I'm taking a good, long look at any one of these:

Gibson 70's Tribute Grabber 3:

Because it somehow just screams "Classic Rock" to me!


Schecter Hellraiser Extreme 5:

Because it is sweet 5-string with what I consider a near-perfect control layout (I can do without the midrange control) wrapped in an exterior that executes "brooding, yet understated elegance" perfectly.


Or build a Warmoth P-bass. If there is anything my meager collection lacks, it is a vintage-ish P-bass...

And then, whatever creature I choose would be amplified through a Genz Benz NEOX-2 212T (I'm pretty dead-set on that cab), though either one of these:

OR one of these:

It depends how "dirty" the Markbass can get. I'm not talking "grind", I'm talking "Lemmy." The Genz Benz will do that. The only thing I don't like about the G-B is the chassis-- I like the fact that the Markbass actually LOOKS like an amplifier!
