Now that I mostly play drums in a band, Im lucky enough to have these great basses haha

1973 Fender Precision, heavily modified. Got this one in 2004 or 2005. Maple fingerboard and a Dimarzio Ultra J pickup added at the bridge.

NS Design Radius CR5 in see thru matte black.

2018 Rickenbacker 4003, jetglo.

Squier Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass. Black with black blocks and Labella Deep Talkin Bass

Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom from 2006 (?), stock with flats tuned E-e like a Bass VI.

Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom, heavily modified and abused, tuned E-e with roundwounds. (I played these two Jaguars as my primary instruments in a touring band for about 5 years)
 
Beautiful collection! Not going to hate on folks who have 25 P basses, but I really appreciate a nice diverse collection of basses.

Yep. I don't have a lot of redundancy. I do have two P basses, but one of them is alder with flats, and the other is ash with stainless steel roundwounds.

I'm in a similar boat. I have my MIM P-bass that's my "reference" bass for my reviews, and then my DIY P-bass with a swamp ash body, carbon fiber neck, barts, and DR Black Beauties. I have a Reverend Fellowship (basically a set neck P), with Rotosound flats that's a hoot as well.

Daaaaaamn! 40 basses!!! How do U store them?

I sold my Squier CV Precision 50s LPB, so am down to these :
- Harley Benton BZ-6000, (soon up for sale)
- Vintage V74MRJP, (FOR SALE)
- Harley Benton JB-75MN Black Vintage Series

Now am selling the Vintage fretless, will be getting a 6-string bass with the money made from the Squier & the Vintage, then hopefully sell the BZ-6000 to get another, slightly better, 6-string. Renewing the whole stable and committing to 6-string... keeps Ur fingaz crossed for me guys, i hope this plan works out!
