All basses are in cases, extremely well cared for and maintained, and stored at 50% humidity and 68 degrees F at all times, thanks to commercial grade humidity control equipment. (See first photo.)
Every one of them is ready to gig or record. Many of them are brand new, or in as-new condition. No lemons, nothing needing any repairs. Reasonably fresh strings on just about all of them. All are professionally set up and intonated.
Photos are available. Photos of a representative sample of a few of them shown at the end of this post.

I would like to sell them as a package, but am willing to sell them individually if you can be patient with shipping time. The best time for me to pack is on weekends, so I prefer to ship on Mondays if possible. If I am shipping individual basses, I will ask the buyer to provide a destination address, and then I will calculate and add the ACTUAL shipping price to the sale. I feel this is more fair to both parties than charging a flat rate, especially in cases where both parties are either on the same coast or on opposite coasts.

To answer a question you may have: I am not quitting playing the bass. I will be keeping the few basses that I actually play. These are the ones that I don't play any more. Some of them I have never played except to test them out for a minute or two.

The basses included in the sale at this time, with individual selling prices as listed (not including actual shipping), are as follows, sorted in order by number of strings and then by price for your shopping convenience:

All but the Epiphone Jack Casady and the Guild B4CE are pictured in the following three photos. Those two basses have form-fit hard cases, and my OCD wouldn't let me put them into the photo.

And the cases on in the corner stacked horizontally are all empty. They are for the basses on the wall.

Wow! That is stunning!

There’s not a chance I could afford this. I don’t even have $1,300 at the moment. As a weird coincidence, $133K is also the cost if I were to buy all my Tier 1 wishlist items. (Yes, I’m an idiot who maintains an elaborate Excel spreadsheet of my wishlist and each of their current values.)
