3 but soon to be just 2. P bass, pj and a 5 string jazz. Going to just a pj and jazz. If a bass is good I usually just stick with it for everything and I never really needed a 5. It is possible I pick up a beater Squier to leave out in the living room because my basses are always cased.

Dont kwno what your looking for,but whith 600 theres a lot of basses out there...

You are correct. There are a lot out there in that price range, new. I know of just about everything available at the major big boxes, plus the usual bass specialty stores, but I am finicky.

For instance, the Sire M.2, Yamaha TRBX605, Spector Legend (current Legend models are not on my want list), Ibanez SR Standard to name a few from the "new" list.

The right instrument may appear in TB Classifieds soon.
 
I'm down to 5 electric basses and an upright.

'65 Fender Precision - Lake Placid Blue refin, but otherwise stock.
'69 Fender Precision - Sunburst with a custom neck and added J pickup.
'06 Fender Marcus Miller Jazz MIJ - Olympic White with Sadowsky preamp and Fender '74 pickups.
'06 Fender Jaguar Bass Deluxe MIJ - Black, all stock.
'98 Yamaha TRB5II MIJ - Amber Burst, all stock.

Shen SB150 hybrid upright - carved top, ply back and sides, Zyex mediums, Realist copper pickup.
