I never count them, that way when the missus asks I can look her right in the eye and honestly say I'm not sure. Lets just say this, some where between 30 and 50.

Just an ESP Horizon-II five-string PJ bass. I have no GAS.

 

[ArvindJayaram]

Holy cow, the majority of people have 5-9 basses? Is that a global statistic? Or only on talkbass.com?

Sky Acoustic 4 string (X2)
Goth T-Bird - (passive)

I was just going to ask that myself! (I have 4 and am trying to resist looking for number 5).

You wouldn't believe me. After recent insurance inventory...I don't believe me.

Meet the Frankenfenders featuring Ms. Gibson

Man I love that pickguard on the red J.

Man I love that pickguard on the red J.

Thanks, and she only weighs about 6 lbs. Very light on the neck.

 

[Chef]

Currently, I have 8 that are my mainstays;
mostly active J5's of various sorts;

and about that many old vintage 4 strings I don't use much any more, which are mostly P basses.

 

[Blackcloud6]

I own one and that is just as of last night: Fender Deluxe PJ.

Now I have not been bass-less though as my son has Three:

Squier Affinity P Bass
Epiphone Thunderbird
Ibenez 5 String Fretless (I don't know specifically what model)

I've been using the Affinity.

Still have my Godin A4 And Breedlove ABJ. Had the action lowered and flatwound strings put on the Breedlove. LOVE it. I just got a Kaka U Bass Wow sounds so much like an upright. I will be able to bring that along in sept when flying into Raleigh for the Bluegrass festival. Thinking about a resonator bass guitar. They also sound awesome. Those all fretted. Unfretted on the future acquisition list...A Fender Jazz bass and an upright. With next acquisition, will likely sell the Godin.

1 precision. 2 Jazz. 1 Steinberger. 4 Danos 1 upright. 8

Hot rod red deluxe Fender Jag, Schecter elite 4 diamond series with maroon finish, squier vintage modified jazz bass. I play the jazz bass the most right now...

two .... soon to be three.

Ibanez SG SR505 five string 34 scale
Fender P-bass Jr (29 5/8 scale) modded with active PUPs

And very soon... a MIJ medium 32 scale Fender Jazz bass.

For those wondering why the variation in scale - I've owned and sold all kinds of short scale basses. At 5'5" with a slight frame - managing a full scale bass is hard work - but the slab body of a mustang bass is heavy. My 5 string is full scale be necessity. I have sold all others but my precious p-bass jr which I'll never part with, but I need something with a little more oomph and have been coveting a medium scale jazz bass for years. Hubbie finally said happy birthday - go buy one. I feel like Goldilocks - not to small, not to big, but just right.
