What are you GASing for? (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)
 
I want that White Tiger Elite so bad right now. Thats gonna be my next order.

A BT5 Elite G (3/2) with 7 piece body wings, with dark ebony facings, tiger maple core and 7 piece neck! Would consult Ken about the details. :)

Or like this, but with 7 piece neck:

I want a CR5M with flamed avodire body wings, walnut center block, black hardware and 3/2 gears. I'm about half way there on my piggy bank:D

I really, really would like to get my hands on an older Smith with the big headstock any wood combo but painted red.

I think those older Smiths with the transparent tints are sick...
Or a BMT with purpleheart body wings and the rest of the woods to be a contrast.

5 strings on either!

At present, I own a CR-5 in zebra with mahogany core. Love it to death. Sounds awesome for slap. I want the next one to be a neck through. This would need a five-piece neck, preferably with walnut top and maple core; beyond that, I could happy with an older BT, a BMT, a newer BSR. Hell, even a Black Tiger! Why not. What I really want is that low-mid fingerstyle Smith grunt and growl. Like this clip from Lalo Carrilo, backing up Luis Miguel.

I have seen them live, several years ago in NYC at Radio City. Back stage where my wife and I were the only ones allowed in that night, Luis said Lalo is 'nothing' without the Smith bass.. His words.. He was smiling..
