Three:
2007 Hofner 500/1
1978 EKO custom shop shortscale (handmade, Ricante Italy)
Fender PJ Frankenbass (Mex deluxe precision body, Jaguar neck, painted psychedelic ala Macca Ric)

But that place up there, in Marca region (Marche, Italy) I can assure you is called (Porto) Recanati
The home of pre-romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi

I too have an Eko (I'm italian after all) and it's the "Florence" acoustic that's why it doesn't made it in the electric collection

Cheers,

Technically I have five, plus a Stingray 5 clone that I'm building and still putting together. But one of them is a cheap ebay bass I bought to learn on so I don't tend to count that because it's not played anymore. Been trying to sell it for ages but noone seems to want it. Can't say I blame them.

Anyway, other than those I have a Peavey Zodiac, an Ibanez SDGR of unknown model (it isn't stamped on the back of the headstock for some reason), a Franken-P-bass I put together last year and a 1976 Columbus jazz copy which sounds incredibly close to the real thing. If anyone gets a chance to get one at some point, I'd recommend you at least try it out. Pretty much entry level stuff, but I'm a relative beginner and I'm building a fund for a couple of upgrades. I expect I'll sell the Franken-P-bass at some point to add to it.
 
5 at the moment

Am Std Precision
EBMM Sterling HS
Ibanez SR1206
Lakland 5501
Squier 70s VM Jazz

The only one that I play these days is the P. I'm going to give it another 6 months to a year and if it's still that way, all others are going except the Ibanez. I figure between those two, I should have about everything covered.

I said five, though officially only 4 are real basses, the other is a sort of "invention", it was my first and it used to be a guitar, now it is an "accoustic 4 string autograph page" :)

Anyways...

1x Jazz
1x Fretless Jazz
1x p/j Jaguar
1x p/j (in the process of being modded)
1x Accoustic bassy thingy.
 
I own 4 basses:

Fender Jazz - 1960, with the stacked tone controls.
Fender P-Bass - 1988, Japanese, candy apple red finish with a maple neck. This is my current gigging bass.

Alembic Spoiler 5 string - 2003, walnut with Elan electronics.
Alembic Series I 5 string - 1977 schedula top.

And 1 guitar:

Gibson ES335 - 1967, Cherry red finish.

I'm really tankful.
