One ????????? Oh man  well I can't do just one. John (barklessdog) funny you mention two of my basses you red NR Thunderbird II comes to mind first. Second Curt's or John's Fenderbird, Uwe's Gibson Explorer with the gold hardware, Marks Purple Thunderbird, I just love purple. I gotta stop I'm just teasing myself now.

Hmmmmm...........

I'm flattered someone ( barkless ) included one of mine.......as an example of my somewhat questionable judgement, I'd go for Uwes' white V bass, gosh his collection must be getting a little smaller by now!  ;)

OK, I'll make this simple, there are probably 10 or more I'd take in a flash, most mentioned already!  However, if I could steal one, it would be Uwe's totally "useless" Gibson EB-750.  I need a new coffee table!   ;D

I would be happy with whoevers 4005. I'm not picky who's it is. Any 4005 will do. I'm even willing to paint it azureglo myself if it is in a different color.

I'd like to get in line for Uwe's blue NR Bird and while I'm at it, lay claim to the good Dr Bassmans black & chrome Bird.
