Not so expensive and boutique as most basses posted here, but I can do everything with these babies:

This is what I look like when playing them:

Hey! It's not my fault she likes to prance about naked from time to time!

Give me a fretless Kubicki to compliment my fretted and that'll be a lovely pair!

Here's your perfect pair: two high quality axes that cover all of the vintage and modern tones I need. I trimmed my collection down from five to two for these.

I eventually sold the fretted F, but these two made a great pair for many years:

My two do everything basses. Either one can sub for the other.

Perfect Pair Qualifications:

• Fretted and Unfretted (definitely requires 2 basses)
• Precision Sound / Jazz Sound (requires dual pickup config with single coil / humbucker choice, but could all be on one bass)
• Rickenbacker sound vs. Fender sound (requires neck P/U to be humbucker or single coil could be on one bass)
• Active Pre & EQ vs. Passive w/ tone low pass (can be on one bass)
• different string number preferences (could be any favorite two, or the same #)
• flatwound sound and roundwound (could be favorite two or the same one)
• body shape and balance feel, string scale (should be matched or close)
• finish could go from conservative to absolutely insane or same for both. (might require two basses)

If these were the considerations there were many pairs that qualify. Here's my real world pair:

Damn I love the look of ritters, i'd wish I could get a chance to play one. What's more is you got too of my favorite ritter designs, the one with the curls and the blue one. You are way too lucky.

What a great thread! I'll post my pair as soon as #2 is done...

a combination of vintage and modern....

come on.. you can't beat this

 

[unity bass]

These two are pretty much all I need.
They have quite different personalities.
One is warm the other is aggressive.
They both have the same neck profile, string spacing and body shape so going back and forth between them is pretty easy.
