Although what I have now is sufficient for my needs and for probably most future needs, I have always wanted a Ken Smith bass. I would probably have to save up a while for one of those. I know there are a lot of other custom builders that have high dollar basses that would be just as good. What would you like or want if you could just have it drop in your hands..

Maybe something like this for me:

I'm a DIY'er and have figured out (mostly) what I really want in basses - I'm rather particular about hardware, and weight, and a number of other little details. There isn't a bass made by anyone else on the planet that I can buy that comes with everything I want. So I build them. I use Warmoth for wood parts, and Hipshot and Nordstrand for most of the hardware. My circuits are...unique. I had every bass I needed, until a couple months ago, when I started pondering different tunings for when I need lower notes (I keep a bass tuned in D standard). Now, suddenly, I have a bass tuned in BEAD and a 5 stringer under construction.

I'm officially coining the term GBS - like GAS, but B for "building". We need a club/support group for us. Anyone else here have that affliction?

I can tell by your avatar that your circuits are unique. It took a minute to figure out what I was looking at..

I was thinking about Warmoth for a project.
