have had 6 basses, I have 3 for now, 2 of them for sale locally. My goal is to have 2 real good basses and not look back after...

My main and keeper:
'88 warwick streamer stage 2 - 4 strings

Going out :
'98 streamer LX - 4 strings
Custom made for me Crete/XB - 6 strings, which is a real nice bass, but I don't play 6 strings anymore so I will let her go to fund my next purchase...
When these will be sold, I will look for warwick Streamer stage 1 or an old streamer bass around '87 and '92, closest match to my '88 SS2 in term of neck shape and fabrication...
 
1, 1992 Musicman StingRay
2, Rickenbacker 4003 fg 2003
3, Fender Precision Mex 2002
4, Fender Jazz Bass 2004
5, Hofner 500/1 '62 reissue
6, Hofner 500/1 '63 reissue
7, Squier VM Jazz Bass fretless
8, Washburn Status series 1000 fretless
9, Epiphone Thunderbird

I have 4 1/2 basses at this point.
Fender/Warmoth mongrel J bass
Fender/Warmoth mongrel fretless PJ bass
Warmoth Gecko 5 string
Lakland Skyline Hollowbody
and except for a body, enough leftover parts to assemble another mongrel 4.
 
always two, a master and an experiment :P

prob would have a lot more if i had the space / finances. but then again, i'd rather have less basses that are nicer / more expensive, than a bunch of $400 ones . . .

Fender Jazz MIA, Fender Jazz MIM Fretless . . .
 
I voted one. I currently have a Ibanez TR50 (yuck bass). I am going to buy a used '06 SR500 and sell my yuck bass (which I'm not attached to very much, except for the fact that it was my first one, but I'll get over it).
