Encore music man style - nicer than any others I have tried of any brand
Silvertone P bass - traded a 5 string Ibanez thing that I couldn't get used to for it (but I have only been playing a month)

4 electric and 1 acoustic guitars though - so that either goes for me or against - I don't know....

Just three really. The last doesn't count...
-2006 Fender Precision MIM.
-No name upright that's almost impossible to play. Ungodly horrible action.
-Dean acoustic electric
-I made an attempt as a bass-jo. But it failed miserably.

The Precision is great. I put quite a few aftermarket parts on it and it plays and sounds great. But I am mos def gonna have to pick up another stage worth bass soon.
 
sometimes when I am asked that I say 'depends on how you count'.
then I stop and think, every bass that you own counts as one, duh.
I have 6. Sometimes I say 4, because I have a 60s Hofner that a friend convinced me to stop taking out and holding on to as a collectable. I sometimes I don't count a Gibson that needs work.
So - I have a Jack Casady, Schecter Diamond, Sterling by MM, and an American Fender P.
