I get to update my vote to 5 today! I now own:

Ibanez sr500 (4 string, first one i bought)
Ibanez AEB10E (acoustic 5 string)
Ibanez BTB1805 (5 string)
Frankenjazz 4 string, built myself and defretted (I can't play it for crap, but it's fun)
G&L SB-2 tribute (purchased today)

I was looking for a Fenderish P-bass, and after playing quite a few, I fell in love with the SB-2 Tribute. I even liked it better than the SB-2 American that I played.

Thanks, but that is already the same design they used in the 90's, with the sharp horns, tilt-back head, and the truss-rod is accessible from the side of the neck. It's the newer model. Mine looks like this one: Invalid Link Removed
P in the front, Humbucking J in the back, with an active scoop filter/booster switch, the truss rod is accessible from a small cavity towards the bottom of the neck. Except mine was red, and now has a custom paintjob and EMGs.
They occasionally pop up for sale around 3-400 euros, and it's an amazing instrument. I only changed the PUs because my humbucker had some kind of a problem, with the A string being quieter then the rest. The EMGs fixed that problem.

 

[Rattanee]

Okay so it is actually an RB707, not RD! Found it searching for the 808, there's not much info out there about these and I still don't know which catalog this is from...

 

[Rattanee]

Well this was quick...

I Currently Own 3.

Only pic I have of both of my electrics together.
My number one is a 2015 Fender American Standard Precision Bass.
My backup/alternate tuning bass is an ESP LTD D4.

I have since updated my P bass with a Black Pickguard. (Always loved the black on black look)

And my acoustic is a Sonata that I acquired for next to nothing from a friend who just never played it... and it gets the job done around the campfire!

 

[GreyBeard]

Well now I'm up to 7. SR5, SR5 fretless, ATK 305, Sire V7-5, SX Jazz 5, Am Std P-bass, and Am Pro P-Bass-5

Plus the rest of you with black beauties!

 

[Martyman]

I have always managed to have 2 basses in my arsenal over the years. Currently, I have a beautiful 75' Fender Jazz Bass, natural swamp ash finish with a maple neck and a sweet Hofner 5000/1 Macca bass (RH). I also, own a MIA Fender Strat and an Ovation Acoustic.

What model is that last Jazz Bass? Deluxe? Elite? That pick guard is awesome with that light fretboard.

 

[HVAC71]

Aria Pro2, Peavey Milestone, Ibanez 300 and Ibanez 300e.
The Aria I have had since 1992. The others I have bought recently. The split P o the Aria has been upgraded to SD Steve Harris pick-ups and probably upgrade the Peavey too. After many years of not being able to play (New wife/New life) I'm slowly getting back into it. Rusty as hell. LOL!!!!! Looking at getting a Sterling Music Man Ray 34, a Schecter Stiletto Stage 4 or a Schecter Stiletto Stealth. Not sure yet.
