You can also add Acacia (I owned one) and David King (I owned two) basses.

Status Groove Basses. Best neck profile for my hands. Massive regrets selling mine. Never see them come up. 
 

All that aside….great to see Dave Grohl playing drums again. 😂

 

There seem to be a few around at the moment. Here's one at the Gallery which isn't massively overpriced.

A funny anecdote:

 

As, back then, nobody wanted a Wal anymore, I traded my MkI fretless for a fretted Trace Elliot T-Bass (excellent bass) and I should have kept it, I mean the Trace Elliot, not the Wal even if they are highly overpriced these days.

Those cheap "Flea Bass" models in lurid colours that were truly awful to play. Hopefully they all ended up in a skip [trans. dumpster].

 

Big Block Precision - always wanted one and recently missed one on the 'Bay.

 

90's Dean basses. I had a couple of pupils who had them and they always seemed like pretty nice things.

I can understand that completely. The T-Bass was always a fantastic instrument. If you know, you know.

 

As for WAL. Huge respect and huge values, but rather meh to play.
