I am pretty happy with my current 3.

Maybe a substitution of a Fender Geddy for the SUB is in the cards in the near future, but I can play just about any style with my current lineup.

-Musicman Stingray w/ maplefretboard (on order )

At the moment this is it.

1. Fender Jazz MIM w/ Basslines (own)
2. Warwick Corvette Fretless (own)
3. Ibanez ATK 300 (own)

Except i think i would prefer a Sunburst Lakland 44-02 to the ATK...

Although my 'ideal' 3 changes alot!

[Stuggi]

[FunkHead]

Money is no option, any kind of bass, anything goes.

I use a Fender Power Jazz bass MIJ tuned Bb Eb Ab Db. It's all I need and all I want. For the occasional song that needs to be higher, I use my Jaguar bass tuned 440. I've owned Sadowsky, Ricks, Lakland etc... & always come back to Fender.

 

[Alexander]

Sadowsky RV4 (currently underway)

Sadowsky MV5 or Modern (24F)

Beater

Atelier Z m245 (with black pickguard & chrome control plate)

Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn Signature

 

[A9X]

My Alembic Series 1
My Steinberger XL2A
A custom 5 string a la the XL. The Status Streamliner looks promising, or maybe a Kingbass. In the meantime, the Hohner B2V and Conklin GT5 are perfectly adequate.

A couple of lower cost 'beater' basses are also nice to have.
