Which Bass would you keep?

Hey all just want some opinions. I only play PBasses and have 4 of them. I'm gonna be letting one go cause I don't really need that many. I've narrowed it down to getting rid of either my Squier CV 70's or my Squier Matt Freeman PBass. Which would you keep and why?

Simple - which 3 basses do you reach for for whatever application? The least played is the least "needed". It really doesn't matter to us - it only matters to you.

“Don’t really need that many....”. None of us need that many, but we don’t let that stop us. Geez, I hope my wife doesn’t read your post.....
 
Well I am leaning towards keeping the Matt Freeman bass cause I really love the neck and I put a set of GHS Precision Flats on and it sounds Awesome now! The CV 70's bass sounds and plays good also but the string spacing feels a little off and I'm not sure I like the smaller frets as much.
Freeman, cause of what you said. My checklist, in order, for picking basses:
1) feel, esp neck
2) sound
3) looks
 
I have 8 Precisions. Different pickups and strings. 4 gig out regularly. The remaining 4 just loaf around the house and don't get out much. I just like 'em and not ready to part with the excess basses. There are far worse things I could be doing beside hoarding P's. As for the OP, I say keep one with maple neck , one with rosewood.

I'm with you all the way! Man, lucky my wife doesn't see stuff like this I would be in deep doodoo!

Look I've sold a few basses in my life, a Hohner B2A, a Yamaha Superbass and a Squier Jazz. In hindsight I should have kept the first two so now I'm not going to sell any of them and avoid regrets.
