How many basses do you own, total?

I own two bass:

A Fender Jazz Bass V MIM

And a crappy four stringers defretted by my hand. Poorly defretted, but the frets was totally scrap.

Thats all, if i buy a real second bass, i think that one are going to be fretless.
 
Owned 8 for a while now and up to 9.

30th anniversary stingray
20th anniversary stingray 5 HH
Lawsuit Ibanez Precision
Lawsuit Ibanez Jazz
Lawsuit Ibanez 4001
Alembic Spoiler 5 string with glockenlang pre
Custom made ripper fretless
Custom made 5 string jazz with Moses graphite neck and barts

Picked up a short scale aria for 70 bucks. Have it for sale though because I don't need it and could use the cash to fund other stuff...
 
Three:

Fender MIA J bass
Spector Legend 4 Classic
Ibanez SR885 w/ Basslines pickups and 2-band EQ

how many do I actually play live? Just one - the J bass. I keep the Spector as a backup and can't seem to sell the Ibanez due to cosmetic damage that I can't afford to fix yet.
