5 including my U-bass, and it's about to be 6 once I pay for my Hofner. I'm trying to sell off 3 of them though and will likely look to move the U-bass, too.

That's possibly the first ever family photo I have seen where there isn't a single bass that I don't like.

My colection has grown but I think that now it will be more stable. Here are my basses:
Aria Pro II IGB-805 (I have this bass since 1993)
Yamaha BB1024X
Cort B4 Fretless
Eastwood/Airline Map Bass
Tagima TJB-4
JP Coustom Upright (Portuguese luthier)
I think that now I have all my sonic areas covered: 5 stg (Aria), P-bass (Yamaha), J-Bass (Tagima), Fretless (Cort), Short-scale (Eastwood) and Upright (JP). So, unless a big deal comes buy or I win the lottery, this collection will not change in the near future.
