4 electric guitars (Les Paul, Strat, Hamer, Les Paul Jr SG), 1 acoustic/electric (Ovation) & 2 basses (Ric 4001 & a Rogue VB100). Liveable for me, but the wife says is still too many :eek:.

Down from my all-time high in 1984 of 36 guitars & 3 basses.

Thank God I didn't meet her till 1985! :D
 
Basses:
Ibanez SR500
Yamaha RBX170 (frets removed and strung with flats, just for kicks)
Guitars:
Ibanez acoustic-electric
Squier CV Telecaster
Hohner classical

My next instrument purchase is probably going to be a nicer acoustic, maybe an American-made Breedlove or a Larrivee. I don't have GAS for another bass... for now.
 
8 basses 2 guitars

2 US Deluxe Jazz Basses
Geddy Lee
Jazz Special
78 Musicmaster
71 Pbass
ATK 305 5 string
Ibanez Semi Hollow double cutaway (the 34inch scale model)

Epiphone Sheraton II (early to mid 90's)
Gibson Melody Maker (single dogear p90)

I gave the Melody Maker and the Musicmaster to my son the day he was born, but he is only 19 months old...so Daddy still gets to play them.
