Well, I'm halfway there... :)
MusicMan Stingray 5. Absolutely love it.

Carvin makes great stuff. Hard to go wrong buying their parts.

That's a really nice-looking bass! Having an extra treble string to work with would be great for solos.

But, I like your '67 Valiant even more... :)

I have a '72 Valiant that I have re-powered with a Vortech supercharged 360 Magnum, and it's a lot of fun to drive (mid-11 second car.)

I'm anxious to read your thread about the '67. Valiants are lots of fun!!!

Here is a bass player who uses a 6-string bass to good effect. His name is Todd Johnson and he plays a SIX-string bass with a guitarist named Ron Eschete' who plays a 7-string guitar. This allows Ron to play a walking bass line on guitar while Todd plays single-string solos on the bass.

Todd also has his top two string pickups running through a MIDI setup that can make them sound like a Hammond B-3, or a variety of other instruments, which isn't particularly notable in itself, but he's able to provide harmonic background for Ron by playing intervals (major and minor thirds, mainly) while Ron is soloing, all the while never missing a beat in providing a quarter-note walking bass line... SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Here's a video of that operation; makes a three piece group sound like four...

I don't know of any other bass player doing this...

Do you?

Now, I'm gonna go read your '67 Valiant rebirth thread.:D

Here's a couple of pics of the Valiant... Yeah, the Moustang got there last... hee hee...
