3, not counting speaker cabs.

A Fender Bassman 500 & matching 4x10. Switch the horn off on the cab and it's also a great guitar Amp!

Mesa Subway d800+ on top of a pair of Bag End S15's.

A 20-something year old SWR Workingman's 12 combo amp that just keeps hanging in there. I mainly use it with headphones and the speaker off when I just want to kill a few minutes at home.

I have my old ampeg ba115 combo...pretty rough shape, could use a new driver. A mid 90s (I think?) Swr sm400 that will never leave my side. An Aguilar tonehammer 500 as my main gigging head. And an ampeg pf350 that's all but sold at this point. Pretty much at a GAS stage currently for a darkglass or a all tubed head
 
I put myself down as 6. I have 2 combos (PJB and TC electronic), 2 rack mount heads (Aguilar AG500 and GK400RB), and 2 smaller heads (demeter and aguilar)

My beloved AG500 is leaving on Saturday as part of trade, because I also have a boatload of cabinets (6!) and I'm trying to drastically downsize.

Realistically I can do everything with small cab and head, or connect to a backline. Now that I've moved to a 3rd floor walkup, call me motivated!
 
I started at 2 to then realized I have 5.
#1 Aguilar 350TH for el and upright, #2 Ashley Pre & Traynor power-amp killer upright amp, #3 GK 400RB, bought and left in Florida for winter jamming. #4 Polytone 100 watt amp, a great practice amp #5 Yamaha THR20, for living room guitar and bass noodling, great sound at low volume.
