If I could have 10, I would keep my Reverend, Curbow and Alembic, and add the following:
1) Sadowsky 4 -- arctic white, red tortoise guard
2) Elrick neck-through 4 -- CT-esque wood sandwich
3) Curbow fretless J-style 4 (twin of my fretted)
4) Fender Mark Hoppus sig bass
5) Reverend Brad Houser 5 -- Moroccan gold
6) Zon Sonus 6 -- burl redwood top, satin-finish neck
7) NS electric upright 4

Hee hee.. well, ya know, if somehow a magical scenario happened where I could have 10 basses, I'd want a little variety! (Ed. Note: Such a scenario once existed: I was single and living in an apartment!)
That Brad Houser bass gives me toxic G.A.S. just looking at pictures of it.. I have a feeling if I ever actually heard one, I'd be dead meat. And there was a Zon 6 at Guitar Center that I absolutely loved.
Oops.. I forgot the Geddy Lee Jazz bass!!

 

[PanteraFan]

Let's see...

1. Spector NS5XL
2. Zon Legacy 5 Fretless (Like Brad's, but in Blue)
3. ESH Sovereign 5
4. Dave Pushic Custom 5
5. G&L L2500
6. Musicman Stingray 5
7. MTD635
8. ESP Custom 6 - Just like Peter Iwer's of In Flames, but in a Greenburst
9. Sadowsky 24 Fret 5 - Nino's with a Quilt top and Vintage burst
10. Modulus Quantum 6 w/ Barts

 

[LA]

One upright bass
Fender Precision
Fender Jazz
Peavey B-Quad (discontinued)
Peavey Cirrus 5 string
Yamaha BB2005
Pedulla Rapture J-2
Epiphone Explorer
MTD 535
my MTD Kingston w/Leo Quan bridge (can't leave my baby out of the list).

 

[pd_5string]

I have 9 already and they are the ones that I wanted...I think the only other bass that I would want would either be a MTD 535 or possibly a Sadowsky.

I'd encourage you to get the original by Bob Mick.

Of course, those are even harder to find (and more expensive) than the Peaveys, but heck, it's just conjecture anyway.

 

[l0calh05t]

In no particular order:
1.Hanewinckel Reactor 4-String NT Signature Series
2.Hanewinckel Draken 8-String NT Signature Series (although i'll probably never be able to play it , but we are talking about collecting)
3.Musicman Silhouette Bass Guitar (Not really a bass but not a guitar either)
4.Custom fretless 6-String Basslab with lightwave pu's and midi electronics
5.Yamaha BB2004
6.4-String Fretless custom Alembic
7.Warwick Thumb NT
8.Fender American Precision Bass
9.Warmoth MM+J bass
10.A wierd looking Jens Ritter bass

All of these basses are a faraway dream for me, except perhaps the Yamaha in a few years
