Man oh man, I don't know how some of you give the proper luv and attention to your collection. I feel there are basses neglected in my little collection. I have:
5 basses and 1 electric guitar

83 fender jazz, 57 avri p, mm sub, Nash 57 p, and a charvel fusion iv. The 6 string is a epiphone sg custom.

Covers all I do.
 
8 basses: 4string and 5 string Ibbys (SR400 & SR405), a Fender P and. Fender J, a 4 string ministar basstar and a 5 string fretless ministar basstar, 2 5 string Dingwals - a Combustion and my go-to bass, an Afterburner II. I'd love to get an electric upright some day, but am not GASing for any make or model in particular.

One guitar, an Ibby Artcore.

Then there are the two dulcimer, two flutes, a piccolo, the glass flutes and piccolos, the recorders, an electronic piano with a roll-up keyboard, and I think the Autoharp is in storage...
 
I have 8 total:

4 electric basses (Carvin SB5000, Fender Jazz, Fender P, Peavey T40)

1 upright bass

1 electric guitar (Fender Tele)

2 acoustic guitars (Seagull and Dobro)

I really don't have much GAS with this lineup... Unless I get another SB :D
 
3 Basses, 1 guitar:

1) My first bass- a Blake Precision clone (Korean manufacture, ebony fretboard)

2) My first active bass- a 1988 (89?) Charvel B3 with EMG PJ's and a maple fretboard. Originally had an active volume, tone, and 3-way p/u selector, but I have since had an EMG BTC (Volume, Blend, concentric Treble/Bass pots) installed.

3) My first NEW bass (the other two were bought used)- A Green Metallic Flake Ibanez SR-300.

I bought my brother an electric guitar a few years ago, but he has hardly EVER touched it, so I'm "borrowing" it to learn guitar and help improve my knowledge of theory. It's a Squire Standard "Fat" Strat with the 2-lug dual-fulcrum tremolo, CBS-style headstock, rosewood fretboard and a really nice set of pickups-- 2 staggered-magnet single coils (the middle pickup appears to be reverse-staggered) and a humbucker in the bridge. Candy Apple Red finish. I've always considered the Stratocaster to be the 1950's Oldsmobile of guitars-- stylish, forward-thinking, performs well, and ahead of its time.
 
Here are mine:

Fender LPB 59 RI clone made from Fender parts

Fender Precision Lyte Sunburst

83 Squier SQ Precision

Squier VM jazz Maple

Ibanez ATK 300

84 Ibanez RB850

70's El Degas EB-3 copy

Epiphone Biscuit resonator guitar

Guild GAD 12 string

Dean 3/4 traveller guitar

Walden 6 string

Fender telecaster parts guitar

That's it for now.
