Right now I have four:
- Michael Kelly ABGE acoustic (meh, I could find a better acoustic but I wouldn't pay only $200 for it)
- Yamaha BB404 (wonderful little J-bass for $160 out the door)
- Fender Mexi Jazz (customized with a side jack, independent tone knobs, DiMarzio UJs, high-mass bridge and white pearl p/g... :cool: it's my "funky four" and my go-to when I don't need five strings)
- Yamaha TRB-1005 (T3h s3x. It slaps, it plucks, has a lot of good tones in it, it's got the B-string boomz, and it was $675. I just wish i'd seen that it also came in black cherry... :love: )
 
6:
CB custom fanned fret 5 (32-35" scale)
MF custom fanned fret acoustic 5/ Piezo (32-35" scale)
LA Kidwell fretless 5
Lakland 5501
Elrick Classic 5 Hybrid

but I so miss the sound of a long-scale (34-37") Dingwall that I just pulled the trigger on a Dingwall Afterburner 5-I had 1 and sold it last year 'cause I thought it was too long for me......but I can't resist trying again......it's GRAS (gear re-acquisition.........)
 
I currently own a 1974 Fender Jazz all original sunburst with rosewood finger and pearl blocks...a modified Fender Squire Jazz natural with black blocks and maple neck and 2 upright basses. The one and only King Jimbo Wallace prototype red sparkle King with flames and a blonde Slap King with black trim.

Three and I'm TRYING to stay at that number. Hanging on TalkBass doesn't make it easy sometimes and you KNOW what I mean. :D All are fretted. Five-string mono-scale - Kinal MK-21. Five-string multi-scale - Dingwall AB-1 (I'll probably let it go when my Z-1 is in hand). Four-string - Skyline Hollowbody. I don't trade much, but the hollowbody is actually incoming and my fretless P-jazz is about to take a trip on the brown truck...
