Sell the two Rickenbacker guitars and buy a 4001 instead .
Sell one or two of the other guitars and buy an EB-3 or a Thunderbird. Or sell the R8 and buy an EB-3 *and* a Thunderbird.
Sell something and buy a Hofner.
So many options… so many more interesting basses than spending it all on an expensive Jazz .

I also have a hankering for a "weighs the same as a small planet" Travis Bean TB2000
And I do want a 4001.
I also quite fancy a luthier commissioned custom job.
I'd love an original run thunderbird..
And.. and...
Shoot me now.
I play bass for loads of people live and in the studio, playing originals and a wide variety of covers and the only thing I have in common with almost all the world's greatest bassists is that I only need one bass.
By all means sell whatever you want to get the bass of your dreams, but don't start another collection, it's an illness.

That's why I have my 4001 and….
… I gave my Fender Mustang Bass to my daughter.
I get occasionally tempted by a fretless, but I had one a couple of years ago and barely played it, so I sold it to a friend who wanted one.

@Gassage is right - if you are going to have one good one, you might as well have one really good one
And @p90fool and @ICBM are also right. I bought the 74 P as it was a YOB not expecting that much for a 70s Fender - but it takes everything admirably in its stride. As I'm trying more complex stuff it's just lapping it up. It sounds great and it's so easy to play.
I probably don't need anything else. It probably is an illness I'm just wondering if it's worth chopping in some of the stuff that isn't being played for something that might actually get played.
First world bloody problems huh?
...just think how bad you'd feel every time you played it
I could part with the R8 and pick this up.. whaddaya think?
If you want another bass that's different that's a different question...
