Holy crap you guys own a lot of basses.

I "just" have a 4-string Fender Jazz upgraded with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups
And a 5-string Ernieball Music Man.

I love the Jazz, play it 95% of the time. But to be honest I'm not a big fan of the Music Man. I just keep around for the occasion when I need a low B. The next bass I buy will likely be a Warwick Thumb bass. I've been eyeing those for a looong time.
 
In addition to the 5 basses, I currently own 2 acoustic guitars, 4 electric guitars, a violin, a viola, an electric violin, lap steel, mandolin, 5 string banjo, 2 synths, a digital piano, pan pipes, a Cajon, an urhu, Roland groove box, Roland drum kit with lots of expansions, amps, rack and floor modelers, and then we get into my home studio recording gear and mics.

I currently own 3 basses. An ibanez sra300dx, this was my 1st bass that started it all. It's my drop tuned bass, and I'm getting ready for repaint, and electronics overhaul. I have a discontinued ibanez sra500, and it's my favorite (keeping it as is). Then I also have a dean I don't know the model, but I defreted it (properly). I'm looking to eventually get an ns electric upright bass, and a german warwick. After that the colection is complete, but will probably expand.
