I'm back lusting after a Yamaha 2024x in Vintage White, still the best bass i've ever tried. If only I'd had the £2000 odd asking price they wanted! :blink:

I can honestly say that for the first time [i]ever[/i] I am currently GAS-free! At least in terms of instruments and amps, etc.

It's a very peculiar yet liberating feeling, which will probably end up something like this...

Purely from an imagination point of view I would love a Sandberg P bass with dual humbuckers (one in the MM position) with the wood finished in blue. I forget the name but there is a custom air rifle stock maker (gary something or other) who does some amazing stuff and I'd love a Sandberg bass that looks like his work.

Since acquiring a 414, I'm looking in this direction too. Will probably settle for a 424 or a s/h 1024 if I can find one, and the dosh to pay for it...

I wandered into a music shop in the Trafford Centre at the weekend (whilst visiting Manchester) with my 4 year old as they had ukuleles in the window (he's obsessed with ukes). At the back they had a black Aerodyne. I'd never seen one in the flesh before and despite not trying it GAS ensued... Does anyone have one? Any good? It looked fantastic!

Despite not having picked up a bass for best part of a year & not even really thinking of myself as a bass player anymore I have suddenly been gripped by the intense desire to own an Alembic. Sheer madness.

GAS. At its very finest.

Headless 6er
Basslab
Atlansia
A jazz necked Precision with Tbird pickups!

I want a Rickenbacker. Can't afford one, can't justify one, certainly don't need one. I just want one.

I want a new motorbike too, and there's even less chance of that happening.

I had a Warwick Streamer LX with the H/S pup configuration - and loved it - but couldn't get on with how it slapped. Or how it hung on me when standing. And I didn't like the oily finish thing or much like the colour of the fretboard and was never a fan of the spade-like headstock.

The pup placement/height was also about perfect for finger style play.

I've had any number of Fender Jazz basses ('75 reissue necks being my favourites) and loved how they slapped, but was often niggled by a constant search for a fuller. richer tone. Aesthetically they are hugely appealing to me - unless they have a rosewood board with dots, then they are one the verge of m***erdom.

An Aerodyne I had for a short time was the perfect weight, but sounded like a Jazz after someone let the tyres down.

I want a bass that marries the best of things I like from above. Light, rich in tone with H/S (or H/H and coil splits) that plays and slaps like a Jazz and looks amazing.

Maybe something like a Clover Apeiron or a Status Graphite Jazz bass - are there others I don't know of that would deliver what I need?
