Three at the moment-
  • Fender AmPro II P-Bass in Miami Blue
  • Fender Mustang Player PJ ( was thinking about doing some upgrades to this one at some point, maybe electronics/pickups but after a proper setup I'm second guessing that..)
  • Fender P-Bass (Mexican 90's) I've had this thing since I was 10 years old. love it but needs a little TLC.

thinking about getting an American Ultra Jazz this year....
 
I've got three or 4 I'd be reluctant to let go of. Then I've got one I lent to a friend because he fancied learning to play. While he had it, his house got cleaned out by burglars. My Samick was the only thing not taken.

I got perfectly functional others in that category.
 
Update, I'm up to 11 now with a 12th on order. I'm probably gonna let a few go once my custom comes in November, but for now, here's my stable:

  1. 1990's Roscoe LG-3005 (my number 1 that will be buried with me)
  2. 1974 Hagstrom HII BN (my first vintage and first short scale bass)
  3. 1979 Ibanez Studio ST-925 (heavy as a house, but amazing tone)
  4. 1960s Kent 822 Hollowbody (bought from Jake Serek on a deal, fun change of pace)
  5. Dingwall 1st Gen Combustion 5 (for when I'm feeling metal)
  6. Nodrstrand Acinonyx Cat Bass (still haven't fully bonded with this one yet)
  7. Bordwell Dola 5 (got on trade to check out, really enjoy it so far)
  8. Supro Huntington II (killer short scale that I love gigging with)
  9. Yamaha BB1025x (was looking for a BB for the sound, but fell in love with this version with the metal control plate)
  10. Epiphone Embassy (kept as a cheap beater bass to have as a o, but the neck is a bit chunky for my taste)
  11. Modded SX Jazz 5 (heavily modded and partially functional, haha)
and a 12th on order from Fidelity Guitars

Added a 13th. Just picked up a 1987 EBMM Sabre from in the classifieds. The crazy thing is that I only owned the Dingwal, Roscoe and SX when Covid happened. I hadn't played much in years after getting pretty burnt out from playing 6 days a week for almost a decade. Might be time to start thinning the herd so stuff doesn't just collect dust.
