Actually I play 3 basses mainly:

- Sandberg Ken Taylor: I need a B low for the gospel
- PBass (80´s Japan): It´s perfect for my band of soul´s covers and pop/rock
- Jazz Bass Fretless: Estuding at home, and sometimes I carry on for the pop/rock and soul covers too.

I have too an Ibanez SR1000E, but I´ve tired of this thiny neck, though it´s perfect for tapping and slapping.
 
I just bought a G&L L2500 Tribute in blueburst. I'm currently waiting for it to arrive.

Add that to an Epiphone EB3, Squier VM fretless jazz, Yamaha RBX270J, Yamaha RBX765A, Yamaha BB405, Ibanez AEB8E, and a Gliga double bass, and that brings the total to eight.

I might need to do some culling.
 
That Benavente with the blue-purple-red paint job is cracking Fuzzbass.

Smokeater that is so cool, 1st bass yesterday. welcome to the fold.

I'm up to 26 now. Some were projects, some great deals, some just to try, some tuned different, a couple of 5's, a 6'er
2 cause they looked good and 1 coming tomorrow cause it don't " Shocking Pink Acrylic 5'er"

No reason to part with any of them.
 
I broke the curse - #14 came yesterday.

As of right now, I have....9. Out of those 9, currently....3 are actually getting gig time. Kind of sad, but all my 4 strings (3 - Warmoth P bass, ESP/Warmoth PJ and Yamaha BB) are pretty much living in their gig bags. My Pedulla 6 has an electronics problem (so it too is staying home). Leaving my Warwick FNA, Tobias Toby n/t, Spector Legend, LTD Jaco'd 5 and Squier Pro-Tone as my only options. The ones that have seen recent gig time are my Warwick, Tobias and Squier. The LTD was, but no more songs that need a fretless right now, the Spector stays at the practice studio so I can just go straight from work some times to there....
 
I own 6. Ibanez P-Bass, Squire Mustang Bass, SX Jazz Bass, Old Fender P-Bass, New Squire Affinity P-Bass (alder body/rosewood board), and a brand new Fender American Standard Sunburst with Tortoise PG and rosewood board.
