I've got a photo that's kinda similar to yours, also six basses on light-colored sofa, backlit with window blinds:

I just sold a bass, so I changed my vote to reflect my new total of four: upright, fretless, fretted (all four-string, standard tuning), and (thanks to some new strings I just bought) a tenor bass (short-scale 4-string fretted tuned to ADGC).
I've only bought nine basses since taking up bass in '87, and I may never hit double-digits, since I'm quite happy with my current collection.

Sold one, so I'm down to 5 :

2012 '62 AVRI P-bass aka "Sunspot Baby" or just "AVRI" - all stock
2011 Squier CV 50s style P-bass aka "David Cook" (it actually had David Cook's autograph on it when I bought it) - Gotoh vintage reverse tuners + Lollar 50s P-bass pickup
2011 Squier TB Vintage Modified P-bass - Gotoh vintage reverse tuners aka "Sunny"
2014 Squier Vintage Modifed Bass VI (Staytrem bridge) aka "Helter Skelter"
2013 Fender Pawnshop Bass VI (Staytrem bridge) aka "Blackie"

I actually dig the Squier VM Bass VI over the MIM Pawnshop VI...

Guitars I have :

Epiphone Elite dot (P-90 in neck, Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge) aka "Big Red"
'72 Telecaster Deluxe aka "Big Mac" - (Gotoh vintage reverse tuners, Dimarzio pickups)
Fender Nashville Power Tele (all stock)

Acoustic guitar is an Epi CJ250.

I think that's it now.
