I have just one, and it's a baby Ampeg wedge that sits in the closet. Now that everything I do is through ears, there's just no need for an amp. The Trace and the Hartke are long since sold. But I only miss the Trace.
Now bass-specific recording gear, that's another story that includes lots of what most would consider hoarding.

Fender Bassman 500 (Low Down Sound 2x15" with FaitalPRO 15PR400). Plenty loud and really lightweight.
Ampeg PF-800 (TecAmp S210). I should probably sell these, they don't really get any playing time anymore but it's a great sounding small setup.
VHT Special 6 (WGS Retro 10 speaker). This is a 6 watt hand-wired tube guitar amp that I use for guitar and bass in my apartment.
I have a couple other guitar amps (Orange OR-15 & Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier) that I don't use for bass. The SVT in the first couple pics isn't mine, it just lives at the same practice space.

As an ampaholic, I have more amps than I’ll admit to.
Gig amps (I take 2 per gig)
Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0
Mesa MPulse 600
Ibanez Promethean P300H
Most gigs, Shuttle is main, Ibanez is backup. Though the MPulse is the best sounding, the smaller/lighter carry usually wins.
80s Roland Cube 60 (duo rehearsals)
Roland MicroCube Bass RX(campfire, travel)
Eden WT400 on my bench, awaiting repair
63 Blonde Bassman (modded to 100W by previous owner in the 70s) - used to gig this, now use it for recording only, both bass and guitar
Cabs are Subway 1x12, 1x15, and Eden 2x10
I'd sell a few pieces, but I wouldn't get much for anything but the Subway cabs, and they aren't going anywhere.

Three heads, two cabs.
1) Traynor YBA300/410 Neo
2) Traynor YBA100/115 Neo
3) Traynor 200H, paired with either cab but mostly just totes along as a backup.

Just one!
My old tried and true Ampeg B-15T from 1988-89. Bought it new as a junior in high school.

I have owned many bass amps and cabs over the years. Down to four currently
- SWR Redhead (first gen) mostly sitting now but still use it occasionally. Was a work horse for years.
- Fender Rumble 40 - bought to have a small amp to practice with when needed.
- Ampeg SVT7 Pro with 410 HLF - bought years ago cause "more power." Will sell it soon
- Ampeg Micro VR2 and the 210 matching cab - my main amp now as I have enough invested in PA support I don't need the stage volume - Actually want a second one
When I owned two I slaved one from the other to get a 320 watt 2 x 210 rig. Still lacked the lows for me though. Despite the published specs, the class AB Micro VR puts out 160 watts into 8 ohms and 259 watts into a 4 ohm load.
