I have two Basses right now, a 1976 FrankenFender Jazz Bass/P-Bass Hybrid (1976 Jazz Neck, Pre-CBS P-Bass body, Bartolini Passive P/U's...Neck Split-Coil, Bridge Jazz Style and before I get flamed for routing out a pre-CBS P-Bass it was done before me so I just made it work) that I have had since 1998 and a Carvin LB70 (green) that I bought used this year.

I have sold the following basses in 2012....2008 Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 4HH (needed the money but was really depressed at having to let it go), 2010 Peavey Cirrus BXP, mid-80's OM Monnich 3/4 Upright.

I will be back in the market for probably two basses this year looking for a Spector and a possibly to replace the Bongo.
 
At this time last year I owned the following:

99 Fender American Std Jazz (Oly White)
11 Fender American Std P bass (Candy Cola)
08 Fender American Std P bass (Black)
10 Musicman Bongo 4HS (Silver)

now I own:
99 Fender American Std Jazz (Oly White)
12 Fender Select Jazz
11 Fender American Std Jazz (Bliz Pearl)
 
As of January 3, 2013, here's my lineup:

Alembic Europa 5 String w/ Series I Electronics
Modulus Quantum 6 String
G&L L2500 Fretless
Fender Marcus Miller 5 String w/ Marcus Retro Preamp
Rickenbacker 4003

I think I'm good for now (famous last words).

Bones
 
- Carvin B50: strung with Rotosound Pressure wounds and used primarily for roots reggae gigs. It's a keeper.

- Schecter Diamond Series P Bass 5 String: just bought it, used on one rehearsal and may soon be back up for sale.

- Schecter Diamond Series Model T: may already have a buyer for it.

- Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpio: strung with Rotosound Swing Bass and is currently listed on eBay.
 
Current:

Fodera Yin Yang Deluxe 4 and Matt Garrison Std 5
Rob Allen Deep 4
Lull M4V

Only one of those I had a year ago was the Deep 4 (and barely - got it in Dec '11 iirc). YYD was a NAMM '12 bass that I took home after the show. MGS was from the first batch they produced (s/n 4) earlier this year, and the Lull is a recent acquisition. I don't even remember what I had a year ago. I know I had my Deep 5 and Yin Yang Standard, but beyond that could have been Nordstrands, Sadowskys, Lulls, Zons, Fenders, or others floating through my hands. It was a busy year :D
 
Right now I have ..
Rickenbacker 4003 FG 2011
Gibson SG "white" 2008
Gibson "money" Les Paul bass natural finish 2007
Epiphone JC goldtop ? when made
Ibanez FL EX series ?when made
Epiphone EBO

Hoping to add a Fender P American standard, or a 57 sunburst AVRI this year. Must have a maple board.

Thats it for me. (for now):D
