You may only have TWO basses.

I want another bass but being a student and living alone is not cheap so I appreciate what I have. But might be looking to move it soon. USA Pbass

Nice!
 
I'd pick this - my "Vintaged" Sonic Blue stackknob jazz:

and my black Sadowsky ash/maple UV70:

(not my exact bass, but looks the same. BTW someone should buy this from Brian)

Can cover a lot of tonal ground between the two.
 
2 basses is easy

first bass, a two-pickup 5 string active (that's the "swiss army knife" bass)...for me, I have a Squier DJAV

next bass, a 4 string P-bass (fretted or fretless, dependant upon need). You must have something to sing like a canary AND nail that creamy vintage tone.

Other basses, like acoustic/electrics, and hollow bodies can do the creamy thing, but the "vintage" vibe is sorta lost.
 
My Warwick Corvette and the used Musicman Stingray that I am trying to land at the local GC. It's going to cost me my Sting P bass which I am ok with, but I've got a Geddy J that I'm extremely partial to. I think I'll have those two with a side of Geddy!
