My inventory crept up to 3 recently when the Yamaha BBG5 I sold 20 years ago happened to come up for sale. I had been kicking myself for selling it in the first place. My main axe is Carvin LB75A fretless. My other fretted bass is a Warmoth based 5 string P-Bass. with graphite bars in the neck, Hipshot Ultralight tuners, a back routed basswood body, a Kahler fixed bridge and a Bill Lawrence 46 pickup. It's feather light and sounds incredible.

3 as of right now. Have owned more, have owned less. Unfortunately, now I'm a grad student...sooo, yep.
70s Reissue Fender Jazz, 3-Tone Burst, swapped out the pickups and the pots. Dimarzio Model J's / 500Ks.
Sterling Ray34, Silverburst
Squier Vintage Modified Precision V

After I get done with grad school....well, I'll be in ministry so I may be stuck at 3 for a while sans any good deals.
