A Fender (or Squier) Bass VI.
It's essentially a baritone guitar, but a full octave down so the lowest four strings are the same as a bass. You can play normal basslines on it (Jack Bruce did, in Cream), or deep twangy surfy/alt-country/Twin Peaks guitar-like chordal stuff. Or probably a lot more I haven't thought of yet.
The Squier one is under £300 *new* - and incredible for the money. I'm just setting up one for a friend at the moment, and possibly hoping he won't keep it very long .

I was in London at the time of it being listed, I was busy with family stuff otherwise if I had the time I wanted to come and check it out.
Wisdom duly awarded.
I suspect the Helix may prompt me to "justify" another bass in the coming months; it'd be rude to have those lovely bass amp models going to waste.

I dont play bass between rehearsals. When I started (1980) I played every day. When I bought a fretless 1997 I played every day. When I got an NXT I played every day.
It's worth practicing technique and it's worth playing with people ( a lot-in 2004 I was in 4 bands and played 5 days a week). But playing bass on my own for 'fun'. Nope.
