Your Signature Bass?

If somebody offered to make me an all-mahogany Precision with an ebony fretboard and the pickups of a T-40, I'd say 'By all means, and you can put my name on it!'.

My signature basses would more likely be modded instead of custom built but anyways i actually want 3 heavily modded conklins gt7s. All with bartolini pickups, Aguilar pre, black and gold hardware (as in black tuners with gold screws and nuts, black bridge with gold saddles) all refinished by staining the fingerboard black, stripping the body double staining myself and having clear done at my local shop. But that's not the crazy part. The crazy part i i want to modify them to be the following.

1. Standard 7 string fretted (beadgcf)

2. 3string fretted,4string fretless (think of the ibanez ashula)

3 is a 7 to 11 string conversion but 3 normal low b, e , and a strings coupled with an 8 string bass 4x2.
 
I would probably get something gaudy.

I am a huge fan of Halloween, so I would probably have a themed bass.

Neon orange PJ bass with an alder body, matching headstock.
Maple fret, black block inlays.
Black hardware.
Geezer EMGs.
Jack O Lantern eyes and mouth painted on the body. Either on the front, or a huge face on the back of the body.

I need this in my life. Now.
 
Oh, and please refer to tbe first amendment. I'm allowed to give my opinion.

I always like people that refer to the First Amendment. That applies to Government control, NOT private entity. Oh, and everyone else is entitled to give theirs, which is what they did.


Mine would either be my Chrome Red P-bass, but with a maple fretboard, or something along the lines of this:

.....only as a bass.
