Pick Your Ideal 3 Bass Arsenal

Nordy J, Sadowsky J, Lull J, USA Jazz Deluxe, or any super nice jazz, definitely.
A nice modern bass - I practically have this covered with my TRB6p with Barts, but would like a Nordstrand SC with Dual Coils.
Last would probably be a P bass... Maybe a Sadowsky PJ!

With those 3 basses, I could cover all the sounds I give a crap about
I second that, that's a great lineup.
If price was an option though...
Fender P/J of some sort (MIJ)
MM HS 5-string
Epiphone Jack Casady or Rickenbacker 4003 for flavor
That would be a decent lineup. The MM would handle metal and rock rell, the P/J would handle most classic styles well and the hollowbody or Rick would be spice on the cake. I am super GASing for a Jack Casady right now.
75' jazz with maple neck/black inlays
ibanez atk400
Rickenbacker 4003 fretless to mix it up abit.

Tough to choose only three. So, I have two scenarios.
- Wal Mach II

- Valenti

Actually, I'm in excellent bass shape right now, the best I've ever been in all these years of playing. But to pick three, I'd start with these two which I currently use as my main gigging basses:
For #3, I really wish I had held onto this one, a Brice Z6 neck-through ... this particular bass was very special .....

Two P-basses one with flats and the other roundwound and a stalk knob Jazz bass. All vintage, sunburst, tort PG and ashtrays.
Hm. 3 ideal basses, eh?
1. Rob Allen Deep 5 fretless (with a lined fingerboard because I'm a total doof)
2. Lakland 55-94 Deluxe with amber finish and Rosewood fingerboard
3. Fender American deluxe Jazz Amber/Maple or Sadowsky 4-string with a fancy top, maple board and black hardware.
Yeah, I think that'd do it...
