Peavey Foundation2000 5 string. Gold finish. USA made
Peavey Grind 5 string, natural finish
Cort 4 string. Sparkly and blue.

I don't have pictures, grind is getting a setup and some TLC, and my Cort is at mom's house. Gonna take the Cort and make it fretless.

1 factory stock 2002 SR480 active 4 stringer. Only changes since it came out of the box have been replacement batteries, and occasional setup tweaks to keep it straight.

1 Squier,
2015 Affinity Jazz undergoing customization with full shielding job, Vintage Modified Duncan Designed pickups, Classic Vibe 60s High Mass bridge, tort pick guard, modified logo decal that spells out Jazz Bass instead of J Bass, and beer bottle flip cap gasket strap locks.

Warwick Thumb BO 2007 4 string (upgraded pups/pre w/ EMG BQC 3 band, upgraded Gotoh tuners) - she is my go to bass.
Spector Legend MK5 (great tone in this bass, but looking to sell to upgrade to a better 5 string)
1968 Framus BL-16 (thin line series hollow body bass) a cool vintage piece!
 
Whoa. I've made several cross country moves in my day, but not with that much gear in tow.

Whereabouts might you be moving to if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah I hear ya. Down to around 26 basses now, it seems at one point I had enuff gear to open my own Bass shop. But back then, I wasn't looking to sell anything. I can see myself now...@ 50 basses hanging on the walls, people come in, and all I say is No, that's not for sale, don't touch that one....Put that down, No that's not for sale....

I'm looking to build a cabin somewhere out west. The plan is to liquidate gear and belongings over time, acquire a Prevost Bus, cruise around out west in search for the perfect plot of land. Start a Log Cabin build while living in the Bus, when cabin's done, move in. That's the plan. We'll see if it comes to fruition. I'll keep a few guitars at that point.
