Sold my Fender Road Worn Jazz.. Down to 10 now with my ESP LTD B205SM Fretless on the block too.
You are my hero, I have tried to get to one - but can not get below 3 so far.
3 basses, Got rid of everything else except these 3:
2015 American Precision
2006 Highway with custom made fretless neck
2010 Highway Precision with white EMG's
The owl doesn't say much.

Three, so far. First bass was a £105 Stagg BC300 Fusion. Terrible, but emotionally attached. Second was a Squier Affinity P-Bass which I inherited for free from my school, after I restored it having not had a new set of strings or even a wipe down for over 10 years (!). Third bass I got myself for christmas this year, a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. I've played a few USA Jazz Basses in my local GuitarGuitar and, to be truly honest, I prefer the sound and feel of my Squier. What a find! Will get some pictures once I get all my basses in the same place! They're all in different places right now.

The last five I all acquired in 2015. Craziness.

Had to change my vote with 6 basses in the herd. 2015 saw me getting a Squier Bass VI and Ibanez RB630.
Only 5. Don't feel the need for anything more at the moment

There are 7 Basses (all 5'ers) and 2 guitars in this photo. I am expecting 2 more basses this month.
"Too many to list".
2 more budget 80's basses are "In Transit" this week because I LOVE what the other model of this line sounds, looks, and plays like esp. after it got a pickup upgrade(stock P pickup replaced with Dimarzio DP122). The one here is a "P clone", incoming are "J clone", and "P/J clone". They all have the same necks, bridges, etc and they're all 25+ years old.
Got the "J clone" b/c there are some places that the Geddy would sound great at but prefer not to bring it(setup too tight, etc.), got the P/J clone b/c the other P/J's here work great. Family pic of them later.
