1-Stingray Roasted 4
2-Sterling Dawn Fade 4
3-Sub 4 (2 band eq!)
4-Ovation Magnum
5-Moog Taurus III (it's a kind of bass?)

probably soon to be joined by a Fender Jazz of some type or maybe one of those old school Ibanez they got at Starving Musician.

[Baird6869]

After last posting in this thread over 5 years ago, my lineup has changed dozens of times. Currently I have:

1995 Quantum 5
1995 Quantum 4
69/73 Jazz
1974 P
1978 Stingray
1994 Gibson Les Paul 5er
Squier VM Fretless

P.S. I have zero of the basses I list below still in my possession. That is funny/sad to me.

I did a bit of eBaying lately (moved a Jazz 60th MIA and a SR as they were too nice to play as well as an old Charvel)

Now I am down to the following:

EBMM Bongo 5
EBMM SUB 4
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
Ibanez 5 String
SX Fretless

 

[jeffbrown]

4

In order:
Epiphone Pbass clone
Ibanez SR505BM
Washburn RB-2802
Fender 50th Anniversary MIA Active 5

I don't play the Washburn 8 string much, but it has a great sound when I need it. The pbass w/flats is my go-to; The Ibanez has roundwounds and rings like a piano, the Jazz I recently put flats on, just to try it that way. I'm diggin' it!

 

[Mykk]

Four

MIA Fender Jazz, Black'N'Maple, active EMG's

Squier Vintage Modified V, Quarter Pounders

Fernades P-bass, MIM jazz neck, Quarter Pounder P pickups/Musicman bridge pickup

Epiphone Les Paul bass

 

[georgestrings]

Currently holding steady at 11:

early 70s Univox Beatle Bass
'06 MM SUB Sterling
'04 MM SUB5
'10 EBMM BFR SR5 HH, roasted neck, ebony board
Ibanez sr905
Dean Playmate AEB
'76 P
'08 MIA FSR Hot Rod Jazz
'08 American Standard Jazz
60th Anniversary Deluxe P Bass Special
'06 Gibson Thunderbird

The FrankenFender in the pic was traded towards this T-bird:

Originally, I thought I was going to flip the T-bird for a healthy profit, but it has since grown on me - and my guitards love it... I've added a Hipshot drop tuner and Supertone bridge, and had my luthier replace the poorly cut factory nut with a well made ebony nut... I'll have to take some updated pics and post 'em in the T-bird club thread...

The Terrible Three:

 

[Nev375]

I clicked the too many to count option.

Well over 10, but not quite 20 I don't think.

There's 3 that I actively use a lot: a 4 stringer, a fretless and a 12 string. I have backups for those 3, but honestly, they are stuffed away somewhere and I haven't seen them in years so I have no idea what condition they are in. --not much of a backup I guess... There's an acoustic that I sometimes dig out for those outdoor jams. I have a doubleneck hanging on the wall which I consider more a work of art than something I wanna play... I swear it weighs 30 lbs. --now does that count as one bass or two? Then there's a handful of vintage instruments actively aging in the closet. I have a few junkers that I hang onto for sentimental reasons and also a few I bought as projects that I haven't got around to completing.

I know it doesn't seem like many, but if you asked me to make a list I couldn't do so accurately. I'd forget a couple as I just don't know what all I have stashed around here. I'm constantly finding stuff I forgot I had.

I wish I had the ability to sell things, but I only know how to buy.
