Five Most Wanted

OK, I'm dreaming. But then we're all dreamers, eh? This should be a fun thread. List your five most-wanted Rick basses. For brevity sake, list only five. Model, finish, and year if applicable. Perhaps one of the Forumites may have one for disposal, or they might think about it the next time they need to remodel the bathroom. Here are my five, in descending order of desirability:

1. 2000 Sea Green 4003/4001V63/4004 (?)
2. Quilted front natural 4004Cii
3. Tigerstripe front Trans Red 4004Cii
4. Fireglo 4001V63
5. Fireglo 68-72 4001

I'm in! Next?

1. 4001s Mapleglo w/walnut wings mod (it'll have the wings AND the skunk stripe)

That's it. The only bass I ever want. Except *maybe* a Ruby or Red 2030.
