Currently, 4 -

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz (3TSB)
Fender 60s Classic Jazz (3TSB)
Modulus Flea 5
My old Charvel 2B (strictly nostalgic, I don't play it much)

The Geddy sees the most playing time with the 60s Classic in second. The Flea comes out every now and then and the Charvel just sits in the case. I've had the Charvel since 1987 and I just cannot want to part with it.
 
I have a couple but never enough
09' Fender Rw precision
96' Mim precision
93' Mim jazz
70' Gibson EBO
70's Ibanez Ric copy
86' Carvin V440
Danelectro dead on longhorn
Englehardt upright bass
I even have a billy-bo style bass i built in my welding class. Its made of steel and its hollow. Weighs about 25 pounds! Hahha
