I currently have 5, with #6 on order:

Ibanez BTB300 4 string
Ibanez BTB405QM 5 String
Ibanez BTB406QM 6 string
Fender Mexican Jazz 5 String with Noiseless pickups added and resprayed LPB
Ibanez SRA505 5 string with factory EMG's

#6 is a Sadowsky Metro Express 5 String in Sage Green that should be here in about 6 weeks. Cant wait

So I posted this in the Sadowsky thread too.....but I'm up to 7 now as I pick up my new Sadowsky Metro M5 on the weekend. Picked it up for a bargain from a guy who's moving and wasnt using it, which is kinda great cos my Metroexpress has been delayed. Totally unexpected but cool nonetheless, I've gone from 0 Sadowskys to 2!

NBD!
Just added one to the collection, this fills the missing 'Jazz' config thanks to fellow TB'r @Tony Rotella :thumbsup:!

signed by Marcus #895 - such amazing value, this thing plays and sounds amazing... The frets even have filed edges and are smooth. After a quick neck adjustment, setup and new DR Pure Blues (low action, no buzz) - this thing ROCKS!

I have 3 basses right now as of last week.
Early 80s Ibanez Blazer Bass (P styled copy). I've had this bass for over a decade. I got it for like $100 and it has been used a lot since I got it.

Lakland Jazz Bass, sorry don't remember what the model number for this is.

2003 Fender American Series Precision. This is my most recent purchase, I had a NBD story about it but basically I think it was a bass I had previously but sold. I saw it at the local GC used so I decided to get it.

Future Purchase: I still plan on getting a 5 string to round out the collection, but I haven't decided on one. I also might grab a short scale at some time as well.
 
Update, by order of acquisition:

  1. Aria Pro II IGB-805
  2. Yamaha BB1024x
  3. JP Custom Electric Upright
  4. Eastwood Airline Map Bass
  5. Tagima TJB-4 Special
  6. Tobias Toby Pro 4 NT
  7. Epiphone Jack Casady
  8. Yamaha BB735A
  9. Ibanez Roadster Fretless RS-840BK
  10. Guild B-240EF.
