They really do some fantastic work and the videos of the CNC machines is really mesmerising. I would love to visit the factory and see the process for real.
I would also like to have the finances available to justifiably invest in one of the master built ones.

Look in the used market for Masterbuilt basses. The resell value on Warwicks in Europe is low. Don’t know about USA.

I’m in Australia @Paul and to be honest the price of stuff here can be a bit high.
I have, however, just discovered the joy of Reverb 
. Having said that I would have to sell one of my kidneys to buy any more basses

Haha how much do you own now? I’m trying to keep it to 5 but I’m having a hard time lately.

But I don’t like odd numbers 
I’ve actually been looking to cull the herd somewhat but I’m really not having much luck deciding which I can live without. It was hard enough saying goodbye to the Rickenbacker.

Yeah it’s hard selling a bass. Well I know a famous musician in my country who owns about 100+ basses. So we are still good to go Mac!

That’s good to hear @Paul
In all honesty the Flying V will go once I make a pick guard for it, the 5 string, and the P bass I built. Then I’ll think about the next move

Henry Vrienten (Doe maar) but he is a collector (he got a few unique basses worth a small fortune). Doe maar was a really famous Dutch Ska/Punk/Reggae band in the 70/80’s. The songs are all Dutch but if you happen to listen to them you will hear the music/basslines are quite catchy. He is also a famous composer.

Ah, thanks… don’t know him! I guess I only know Frans Vollink and Jerome Thesseling from NL.
I am sure Frans Vollink owns a couple of basses too, but he ever only plays his 63/64(?) Fender Jazz and his Marleaux 5-string. I guess he found his sound

Alex Lifeson says Geddy Lee has 200-300 basses. A bit overkill

UK Status bass
Not a big fan of headless stocks but I really dig the body of this bass. Never heard of this brand before.

Ya, they should have used a bit more of that beautiful wood and made some.

So, get on the list. I am sure somebody will appreciate a kidney as much as you will a new bass (at least at the beginning).
You can always het another kidney, if you ever need one back.
