Anything like Gurney Halleck in Dune? "Atomics!"

Lemme ballpark: $100k worth of basses?
 
wow ... after looking at just a few pages of this thread I am feeling way less crazy, or at least way less alone.

I've got 3 electrics (2 Fenders, 1 Joe Veillette fretless 5), 2 A/E's (a Fender and an Ibanez 5) and 1 upright (an Upton gamba ply), and I thought that made me weird.

Apparently not. I have to get a camera, though, and take some pix to keep up.
 
Hi, I'm new to the forums. Here's a shot of my one and only bass since 1995:

Fretless ESP neck, Dimarzio J pups, cherry body of unknown origin. The tone/volume knobs are from an old Marshall amp.

I'm currently looking to enlarge my bass collection with a second member, since I need a fretted bass as well.
 
Anyone getting bored with pics from my collection yet?

These are my wet dreams, people.

Here's my group. All of them (except for the Epi LP) were acquired for $200 or less.

First Bass, now retired. PG mod and body refinish was all me. (1987 Sears Catalog, $120)

And this one, the origins of which are shrouded in mystery, I just picked up at a pawn shop yesterday for $70. (She's gonna need a little TLC.)

That's a really sweet collection. I like the theme as well.
