Maier - keep around as a conversation piece; push button p/up selector; early 60s?; my next refinish project
 
Two basses and one classical guitar.

I had an electric Pacifica 112 but it started it's own journey when I lent it to a friend and AFAIK it ended sold via eBay by his former flatmates. Kinda enjoy the thought of it being played by someone somewhere instead of staying in my closet. I also sometimes fantasize about spiking those flatmates' drinks with copious amounts of laxatives if the chance is given.
 
11 basses
0 guitars
3 amp heads
4 cabinets
2 full drum sets
1 MIDI keyboard

You want noise? I can help you out! :D
 
Les Paul, Martin 12 and a Kentucky mandolin. Basswise I have 3 Fender Jazz basses, a Ric 4003, a Hamer 8 string, a Musicman Stingray, an Epiphone Genesis, a Greco double cut shortscale and a fretless Harmony Rivoli-ish something or other. My wife noticed the absence of a T-Bird and told me I should buy one. I love her sooooo much!

I like the 2 trombones...

I might have a beater acoustic guitar around somewhere. Other than that (and the trombones), me n Stuart are about in the same boat.
 
About 20 basses and 20 guitars including junkers and gigging stuff. Also 4 drum sets and a ton of percussion stuff (congas, djembes etc.) And one banjo (in case I ever go to Hell as accordions and banjos are the only instruments permitted there according to the Far Side)
