Squiers! Who owns more than two? If so why?

I have two...
I have the VM fretless jazz, re-wired and loaded with the '62 Original Jazz pups (fender USA) and Roto rounds, cannot put it down, it's an absolute Jaco machine.
Get one ASAP !
and I also have the CV 50's P in LPB with the '51 RI pup and re-wired... GHS P Flats... omg, this bass sounds huge and follows me around the house
These two basses get most of playing time, love them to bits... my other great basses including my '63 Jazz are a little sulky at the moment.
Can I still post if I only own 1?? 
I took out the stock pick ups in it and threw EMG's in it. I also put a bassa** II bridge in it. I love the tone on this thing. It's also my first bass. I stopped using it for a long time because I couldn't get the volume I needed out of it. Any suggestions?? But recently I started using more because I purchased a GK 1001 RB and a neo 410 so I can get some more volume out if er.
Here she is:
I painted the pick guard myself.

I hold the JV's as holy grail basses ..hard to find and really cool. I have seen one like yours here a red one..rare. The MIK Squier II have me puzzled since they feel and play great but the two with Maple necks I found needed allot of work to get the bow that was set in them.
The 87 E series MIK Bullet P
I got feels almost as good as my SQ's and sound awesome. If you picked it up and did not look at the headstock and played it you would think it was a MIA Fender.
BTW..thanks for all the replies. Question how many here only use/play their Squiers?
Bolt on necks are hit and miss for the most part. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I tune down a half-step and tend to favor lighter strings.
i got a few... first one was a 2001 Squier Precision 5 in metallic sherwood green... and here is my 1993 Squier Precision made in Korea...one of my favorite colors definitely, its like a dark daphne blue and the headstock has a big Fender logo with a smaller Squier Series logo.

I have four. A black Squier Musicmaster, a metallic black Standard series P/J (IIRC on what it's called), a grey/green metallic MB-4, and a black Bronco.
My two favorites to play are the Musicmaster and the MB-4. The most uninspiring has been the Bronco. Right now I'm in the middle of modding the Bronco with a DiMarzio Model One (and fixing the Musicmaster as well).
The funny thing is, I never thought I would have more basses than guitars, and I always thought they would be Peaveys. Go figure...

I still only have one, the one in my sig. I've been on the lookout locally for "That Awesome Squier P" but it hasn't raised its hand yet.
I still want 3 more of these VM TBs. One to leave stock, two to steampunk (matching fretted / fretless), and one to make look like the Tele bass I was more than a little stupid to sell.
My TB has the "modern C" neck on it, and I love the shape. Wide as a P, but a little thinner. Which other models come with that neck?

I own three Squiers. The why is because i don't want to have to be precious with my gear when i'm playing gigs. It helps that they play very well and sound great. I find that they benefit greatly from a good pots and jacks upgrade, but otherwise are great stock basses.
I have 4...a P, a P/J, and 2 jag shorties. All have been modded and sound awesome. I play them all and never have to worry about banging them around.
I really wonder how a squier could be the "holy grail" of anything tho?

I own 3 Squires but 2 are guitars (Strat and a Tele).
My Squier bass isa VM Jazz fretless and I own it as it is a great bass.

The holy Grail Squier to me is an early first edition MIJ. These were the first Squiers ever made and many had all USA parts. I Have read their were some done even in Nitro and cloth wiring.
The JV was also a non- export from Fender Japan so getting them is not easy. The SQ made a year later was all MIJ parts and was made for export so a little easier to find These are awesome Squiers to me but the JV was first and I search for one to this day.
