I "only" own 9- I have 2 brand-new (to me) arrivals that havent officially been worked into the rotation yet but here goes:

1 Clement Custom
2 Yamaha BB614
3 Peavey T-40
4 SX SPJ62
5 ESP LTD B404
6 Carvin LB-75
7 Schecter Model T- only because I just got it
8 Peavey T-20- same as the Model T- this one just arrived
9 Warmoth franken 5-just dont need 5's very much

I'm sure the T-20 and the Schecter will move up in the rankings in the near future. They havent been to a rehearsal yet so I dont know how they will sit in the mix.

I also hope to cut the list down by one or 2 in the next few months. As much as I like having multiple basses around, I'm actually getting the feeling that I have too many. Of course, if you ask my wife, she'd tell you I had too many when I had 4!

I have had several basses in 40+ years.
currently:
1. Rickenbacker Stereo bass 4001 (1972-3)
2. Fender Squier Affinity Precision bass. 2010
3. Danelectro Longhorn Bass. 2010.
The Rick I bought when I went to buy a PB. The PB I bought to match the Affinity Strat.
The Dano I bought to replace the Dano that I had for some years before the Rick.
I have several guitars as well. + 2 keyboards.
Each instrument marks a milestone in my music career.

Nice list Munjibunga!

Mine in order of degree of "realness" (number of strings)

Conklin GT Bill Dickens 7 (Pleked)

Modulus TBX 6 (Cuts the mix like NO other bass)
Alembic Epic Fretless 6 (Hey, Alembic says it all)
Ken Smith burner 6 (Typical KS quality... to die for)
SX Fender-clone 6 (x2 fretted and fretless does this count as one bass? These "chungerized" basses kill!

Carvin AC50 Semi-hollow acoustic fretless 5 (Too cool for words)
G&L L2500 fretless 5 (MIA... say no more)
G&L Tribute L-2500 fretted 5 (With Single coil mod)
Fender MIM Deluxe V (Hey, it's a real Fender!)
OLP MM-3 5 (Passive makes it a hassle but CAN be "dialed-in")

I really hate to see my SX collection cut off the bottom of the list because I really, really like them, but hey they are just bar basses! Same goes for my Carlo Robelli 8 string. Too cheap. Too weird for the list, but I love it.
