An MTD 635-24 with either a Spalted Maple top on Swamp Ash body (matching headstock) or a nice Figured Walnut on Swamp Ash (also with matching headstock). Man I would kill for one of those ... In the words of Wayne "It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine"
Heres an idea of what the Walnut would look like except itd be in 6 string

Nice finish -I also a big blueburst fan...
That said, how a bass looks is merely icing on the cake to me; How it plays is key.
