Five--

1993 Peavey Unity
1995 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass
2008 EBMM Stingray 5

And I have a build in progress, it's gonna be a Jazz on an Allparts body, Mighty Mite neck, Gotoh bridge, the original pickups out of my 1995 Jazz, and all other hardware from Fender.

Gibson Thunderbird
Ibanez SR 450
Ibanez Jazz copy (law suit era)
Ibanez acoustic
also some old P bass copy that has bee stripped down re-srayed, de-fretted and remains in pieces after man years lol cant remember the brand but it cost $30

I don't know what's with all the Ibanez, I bought the 5 string when I was 18, got the Jazz 10-11 years ago for $100 and the acoustic was like $300 like 8 years ago when my old band were doing some acoustic stuff. As for the Thunderbird a couple of years ago I decided it was time to buy a real bass. ;P

Two is enough for me. One is an EBMM Stingray 5 HH and the other one is a Marcus Miller signature 4 string, and those can easily get me 8 different tones just by changing pickup positions/individual pickup volume. Then come EQ, amp settings, effects, preamp on the Miller, and last but not least different playing techniques. I only use these two basses and a 7 string EBMM guitar these days, and those can easily cover everything I wanna do. Funk to pop to rock to the deepest metal, no problem.
