I'm in with 8, #9 on the way in a couple of weeks and making plans for #10! (in order by arrival)
1-Carvin LB-75-koa body dont play 5's much but this one always gets first dibs
2-ESP LTD B404SM-lightweight ash body-great spalted maple top, full-on EMG pickups and pre.
3-Clement custom-my #1 player and avatar pic. duncans, bart pre and 7 different woods between the body and neck!
4-SX SPJ-white w/black PG. The ONLY music-related gift my wife has ever gotten me. Surprisingly good!
5-T-40-heavy as anything-but since when is that news! Sits great in the mix in my classic rock band
6-Yamaha BB614-excellent workhorse bass. Not exciting in any way but a solid player, uber-hot bridge pickup
7-SX Jazz, LPB w/matching oldschool headstock. Found in a pawnshop for $70
8-Warmoth franken 5er-gorgeous Warmoth BEM neck/FB, G&L L2500 guts-amazing range of tones-only 2 knocks are that its kinda heavy and the strings are not in perfect aligment over the pickups-but there's no loss of sound.
9-Peavey T-20- should be here in early November-cant wait to add it to the herd.
10-??? I have a couple of things in mind, not sure which way I'm going yet.

-1997 Warwick Corvette bubinga
-1976 Fender P-bass w/ Allparts neck
-1980s Peavey Foundation-(project bass right now)
