Which bass do you want, even though you shouldn't?

A Status T-Bass 5-string.

Preferably wood neck, but the graphite would do.

I don't need or want another jazz bass, but if one of these came up for sale tomorrow in the right price bracket, well I have the money in my account for one so it'd be a very quick deal.

I really want a Charvel Pro-Mod  San Dimas PJ IV. Not practical for me as can only do short scale basses nowadays but love the look of these.

I tried one of these; really nice, however I just couldn't get on with the compound neck

I've one these in the basket a couple of times now and just about managed to talk myself out of it.

 

I think they're beautiful but oddly it's the budget price tag that puts me off.

 

You can get them for under £300. I'm not a gear snob and own and play a couple Squiers alongside more expensive instruments but I just worry that this is going to turn out to be not as nice as the stuff I've already got.

 

Also they're big and I'm running out of guitar/bass space.

I've had my eye on one of these for ages, it's even made it to my ebay saved searches.

When I foolishly decide to get one, I'll let you know if it's worth having.

I want the modern updated look alike of my first decent bass, a heavyweight 1975 Jazz bass.

 

A Fender Pro II Jazz in black with a rosewood board, blocks and binding, weighing around 8 1/2 lb.... but I can't pay custom shop money.

Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic bass and Maton JB4.

 

Even if I could find one of either for sale I couldn't afford them, but a lifelong obsession with the Violent Femmes makes me still want them!

This. I've no need for either a headless or another fretless bass, still find myself looking at these every so often.

One of these is on my list as well but more of a case of taking on a new challenge as I only play fretless but never owned or play a 5 string before.

For me it would be these two basses. However, I only play fretless so I have no need for either and they would just sit under the bed collecting dust.

Peavey T40 - I’ve heard they’re heavy basses? I’m not a big enough guy to be encumbered with that weight on my shoulder.

 

Gibson Grabber - prohibitively expensive and they look like solid chonks too. But they just have that allure. They look great.
