What are you GASing for? (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

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..
