I own 3 - a Mystic Red American Standard, a 2-color sunburst Classic 50s and a white WestHam Steve Harris.
The Classic is strung with flats, and the Am. Std. is strung with rounds, covering most everything you could want out of a Precision.
I'm thinning my collection, so the Harris, even though it's a good bass, may get sold, mainly because it's so heavy - 12 lbs.

Two. The basses in my signature are p basses, depending on how strict you want to be with the definition.

 

[Callused Finger]

I have a '75 P that I use round wounds on. A self built P with Jazz neck that I run cobalt flats on and a Fender VM with an allparts P neck. All of them have a different model Bartolini pickup.
I also have a custom built fretless PJ but I didn't include that in the poll because its a PJ.

The '75 and the P with J neck have their own thing going on as far as sound. The VM needs something to make it stand out on it's own. Not sure how to do that yet. I have thoughts of making it an active P and/or relicing the hell out of it.

I have 4. There are probably times in the past where I've owned more. Here is a bass family shot, slightly outdated.

From left to right:
Fender Custom Shop 61 RI: Strung BEAD
Franken P: Fretless neck and tapewounds
64 P-bass: Flats
82 Fender 57RI: Strung standard

There was a time when I'd bring the Custom Shop and the 82 out to gigs together so that one would be the backup. I have a tendency to dig in a break strings. Now I usually bring my jazz bass or my stingray out and have a P-bass as a backup.

The more pics you post, the more your username makes sense!!

I'm a hard-core JJ guy, but a while back I had the opportunity to get a Dingwall Super P in a trade. Glad I did. It's a nice addition to my stable.

 

[Burwabit]

One too few

 

[bassrich]

1 unless you count P/J of which I have 4

 

[aah_scary]

It's never a J bass with an extra pickup, is it?

My one's a J bass with the extra pickup.

Interesting about the Bartolinis. I'm sure you have a story to tell about how you decided which bass got which pup. When I built my Warmoth I ordered a Fender vintage style pup. I forget which one. It sounded great, but it was very one dimensional, no matter where I played on the strings, the sound seemed the same. I stumbled upon the Bart, an 8BCP, and took a chance having used Bart's in the past, including Jazz, and GASP, Rickenbacker. Amazing how it responds to your playing. Great with the subtle shifts on fretless. ... I should add, it's passive.

I don't own any Fender basses, but my next Birdsong will have a Dimarzio P pickup...so, 1?

 

[comatosedragon]

I guess that depends on the definition of "P" bass.

I have a Fender Blacktop Precision bass, which has jazz pickups.
I own no other Fender basses.
I own 2 Peaveys with Precision pickups.

I have no idea which of 3 qualify as a "P bass"

 

[TDR1138]

If we're counting single coils and non-Fender makes...

 

[Gnal]

I've got 2 P's. One with flats and one with rounds.

 

[inthebassclef]

AT one point I had 4 but due to health problems I have had to downsize all my basses and just kept one p, one j, and with some of the money bought 494
