Okay, here we go:

1. 1982 Gibson Victory Custom, purchased new when I was 15....
2. Hamer (US) Chapperal 12 String...because it can sound like a cave troll or a harpsichord
3. Steinberger Spirit 5...because it is cheap (enough so that I could replace the first one, which fell off the trunk of my car after a practice...boo hoo)
4. Fender Acoustic....because it sounded good and plays nice
5. Fender Precision...because Steve Harris uses one
6. Ibanez Soundgear 6....because it has BALLS
7. Ocean Fretless...because I saw, I played, I bought....

I own:

MIA P-Bass
Epiphone Power bass (early 90's)
Fretless Squire P-Bass (I didn't want the MIA fretless anymore so I bought a squire to take the duties)
Rickenbacker 4003 (main bass)
A nice and comfy double bass for all that classical/blues/jazz fun. :)

Basses that I own:
- ESP LTD B-55 5-string
- Ibanez GSR 200 4-string

I have done something pretty weird with my ESP, Ive taken off the low b string, because it just gets in my way, and i like the closeness of the strings on it, so when I play my melodic stuff where I use EVERY string, I use the 5 string, which is...now a 4 string..lol

I dunno If ill get flamed for that, but It just...works for me. =)

5 currently, but only 3 in "ready to play" condition

Lakland 55-01 - the workhorse that i play most of the time with my band
Warwick Corvette Std 4 - the baby, i wish it would grow 2 more strings, but its for gigs that dont require a low b
Ibanez SR506 - because its got 6 strings and i wanted to test those waters. Once i get another 6 this one may become a project of sorts.

EBMM Stingray 4 - in the middle of a refinish project right now
Fender P - need a new body (long story) and need to get money together for a nice warmoth piece.

i have 5, i'll probably sell 2 of them in the next year, and i could do with having about 6-8 total.
