I'm content with my 2 basses, an ESP F-5E and B-4Z. My goal was to have two basses that were identical except for the string configuration (one is 4-string, the other 5) so it would be easy to switch between them, and it's working out well.
The only other bass I can see myself getting is a fretless 4, if I can ever find one that I like at a decent price.

1: Seville P bass copy with active electronics.
2: 90's Charvel with active electronics and 2410 tremolo.
3: Tune bass maniac 5 string.
4: Custom 4 string fretless.

Squire 4 string, first one, but it's been signed and relegated to wall decoration
Schecter C4, was my main for a while, had active EMG's put in with duel volume control and recently seen the frets pulled, still need to get around to finishing the neck up, it's my franken-bass, but it's playable.
Warwick Fortress 4 string. despite the pick up trying to forcibly remove itself from the body TWICE I love it.
Looking to get at least one more, not sure what direction I will go yet, will be four string. If I keep playing steady I'll probably get to 5 total.

Late 60's Aria semi-hollow body (ES335 style)
mid 80's Yammy BB1100s -original owner
Pedulla Rapture single soap bar - mid 90's
Yammy 605 -not sure about age, bought used
Roscoe LG3000 -2008
Squire fretless - 2009
Rickenbacker 4003 - 2011
Seriously considering selling the RIC as it is just wall art at this point. I just can't seem to bond with the bass, although admittedly, it's an eye catcher. Been gassing for a MM recently after playing one in a shop... really liked the neck and feel of that bass...
