Zon Sonus 5
Would like a 4 string ( Iam Geddy Lee DAMNIT!)but am also interested in Drumming and guitar so Iam building up on quality in those areas . Have a decent Gretsch 6 piece maple kit ( the excercise machine ) and just got a Mesa dual rectifier head for the guitar end of things ( if it weren't for those metal ing kids / Scooby Doo ) now I can just invite a guitarist and drummer over to jam and all they need is their guitar and drumsticks plus I can work out my own song ideas and lay down rough tracks all alone without needing anyone else in the process or jam without people having to haul and lug a bunch of equipment in and out of my house . Plus my neighbors hate me .

Sold a Cimar Jazzbass copy and bought A Hohner B2AFL
 
Updating my list:
1. 1972 Fender Precision Bass
2. 1986 Yamaha BB5000 5 string
3. Thumpin_P Jazz Bass
4. Kramer Spector fretless
5. Kramer Ferrington A/E bass
6. Pallatino upright bass
7. Thumpin_P hybrid Jazz Bass
8. Thumpin_P Precision Bass
9. Yamaha BBN5

Soon to be building a six string fanned-fret bass. I will be sure to post my build thread...
 
First I must say don't try coming here with bad intentions, I had lessons with Chuck Norris and Rambo.

I got 9 currently, but 3 make up 2/3 of the costs.
'05(?) Squier Jazz Bass Std CAR
'07 Squier Tele P-Bass 3-tone Sunburst
'08 Fender Acoustic (BG-31 I think, been discontinued or replaced with the T-Bucket) Black
'08 Höfner HCT-500/1
'09 Fender MIJ Mustang Bass OW
'10 Rickenbacker 4003 Mapleglo
'11 Fender MIA Std Precision Bass OW
'13 Fender AVRI 1958 Precision Bass Black
'12 (?) Squier CV '60s Precision Bass Fiesta Red

It's the order of purchase, I'm only sure of the built-year of the Fender 2011 P, the Rick and the Acoustic.
