Enough money so I wouldn't have to work and focus my time on music.
And maybe a custom Warwick Streamer 5 string.

I'll raise you bandmates who aren't flakey.
Yeah, but the guitar players say it's the bass players that are flakey..
G&L LB-105 5 string, natural ash, medium C5 neck, quartersawn, birdseye maple board.

While there's a number of basses and cabs I'd like to try, I'm rather happy with my overall setup. However, the only bass I'm really interested in adding at some point is a Stingray 5H ceramic pickup with a maple board.

I really have no idea... Wouldn't mind making an inquiry but i highly doubt i have the extra cash anyhow at the moment.
I would imagine the price is pretty high considering "I build my basses from raw lumber, 100% percent by hand the old fashioned way. No CNC, no CAD. It's just me and some rulers, spinning blades and coffee." from the website.. I may send him an email asking for pricing on an Alchemist and the time frame for crafting it with his pocket knife and some sand paper..
I really love my main Ibanez Mikro bass with a P/J set of EMG Geezer Butler pickups installed, the extra short 28,6" scale just seems perfect for me, and with the stock pickups swapped out with some propper sounding pickups it actualy sounds amazing too.
I was lucky that it also came with perfect leveled frets and the most stable neck I've ever had on any bass or guitar I've ever owned.
Also my favorite of all the basses I have ever owned, despite some of them having cost over 1000$ from new.
However if I had that kind of money and could get exactly what I wanted, I would have a 28,6" scale 4 string bass made, with a slightly more narrow neck, 16mm string spacing, 38mm nut width, mahogany body, bolt on maple neck, ebony fretboard with 24 medium frets, a Nordstrand The Power Blade P pickup and a Nordstrand clean and clear Big J-Blade J pickup, shaped like the B.C Rich Beast Bass, in mate black finish and with black hardware, a ToneStyler type tone control and a volume control for each pickup, but instead of the volume controls being seamless pots having them be rotating switches with something like 20 positions, preventing my settings from going out of whack, and equipped with black chikenhead style knobs.
