Doing inventory and photography of my collection for insurance over the next week. Rough count in 146 basses and 22 guitars. All but two basses are electric and 4 of my guitars are acoustic. One of my basses is a little kiddy Fender model P bass that my son plays, along with a little miniature sized Fender Strat that he bangs in too. I know I own 6 Alembics and 4 Loewenherz all of which were purchased used. I have over 20 Ibanez basses, all of which are higher end or rare. I have a nice set of EBMM basses that I love but don't play much (all but two are Family Reserve). It will be interesting to see what all I have and if there are any trends other than the fact I'm a gear whore who is really a pretty sucky musician.

4. Pretty much the bare minimum: upright, fretless, fretted (all 4-strings); then another fretted that doesn't really get played, but that I hang onto for sentimental reasons. I might add a 5- or 6-string to the collection at some point, if I get curious enough.
