I just had to edit this post twice because I kept remembering more guitars...

Just sold a Yamaha RBX200 and a chinese Rickenbacker fake.

Also, have two electric guitars cos METAL.
 
I have three as of now. A 77 PBass (PJ modded), a 1983 Rick 4003, and I just bought a 68 Telecaster bass.
Would still like a fretless, but other than that I think I'm good with what I have.

I have six lefties, and am done for a good long time. May sell one or two now that the new Zon is taking up most of my playing time.

Carvin LB-70 (No. 1 bass for past 12 years)
Carvin B4 (backup for LB-70/alternate tunings)
Zon VB-4, custom 32" scale (newly acquired to take over the bulk of my practice time for back/neck health reasons, but could displace LB-70)
Carvin B5K fretless (covers my rare fretless and 5-string needs)
Gibson Flying V (lefty conversion, just for fun at this point; may sell)
Goldtone PBB Resonator (acoustic jams, etc.)
 
Now 3 again, all fivers.

- Cort GB5 Custom (This one is my go-bass, Seymor Duncar Quarter Pounders J on neck and HB on bridge)
- Cort A5 OPBC (This is a beauty with Bart's MK1 pickups and pre, strung with DR Black Beauties)
- Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V (New Kid in Town, 2000 model, cleaning and setup almost done, will strung with EB Flats)
 
Just got one 2 days ago, bringing my magic number to...8

Peavey Foundation, US made, 1990
Epiphone EB3, 2013
Epiphone Zenith
Hofner Icon Violin Bass
Danelectro Longhorn, MIK, 1990's
No name Chinese violin bass
DeArmond Pilot MIK active bass
Huntington Precision bass copy
 
Just 2. Though if I didn't have a mortgage, a car payment and 3 kids, I'd have a least a dozen.

1983 Fender Precision, tuned BEAD, former number 1 bass for 20 plus years, now my back up bass and my kids primary bass since he's into prog/djent and the low tuning fits his style more than mine.
Squier Jaguar Short Scale, new #1 because of years of wear and tear on my hands, but I am going to tweak the hell out of it, first thing up is getting rid of that wimpy J pup at the bridge.
