Currently at 5, but number 6 coming in tomorow...
In no particular order :

- Warwick Corvette $$ 2005 MiG - natural swamp ash
- Sterling Ray 4 - walnut stain
- Spector Legend 4 - Tobacco sunburst
- Spector NS Pulse II - Ultra violet Mate (my current fav)
- Spector Rebop 5 DLX FM - Red cherry flame

And tomorow will be adding a Squier CV Jazz Bass in natural maple

Also on the lookout for a Squier CV 60 Pbass, Duff McKagan signature and Aerodyne... and also... wait no is my wife reading this?
 
I own two: A 1998 Alembic Epic I bought new and now a new Sandberg California Central. Original bought the Sandberg as a cheap backup for gigs but now that I realize it will still play if the battery is dead, its my main bass. I stuck the Alembic in storage.
 
On the wall:

Ibanez BTB846v, non-export Fender Aerodyne PJ, Warwick Thumb BO5.

In the rack:

MiM Fender Jazz, MIJ Fender limited edition 60's Precision

Loose:

Ibanez ATK300, Yamaha BB735A, Fender AmPro II Precision V.
