Ooh, I like this poll. I currently have five, and that won't become invalid when I add another bass or three.

On order:
Nordstrand vP5: ordered February 2013, ETA October 2013

2 but i'm gonna put one up for sale soon. an '85 Ibanez Roadstar II that i inherited among other nicer things (like a Gretsch Nashville '67) when my grandfather passed away earlier this year.

My main bass is an Ibanez TR-70. My first bass, bottom of the line in the 90's. I've had it for 17 years. Never had any complaints about its sound, but the look, while alright was never my favorite.

1995 SR 405 refinned to oly white.

No Brand 5 string (which will be hopefully brought from my home country in december).
