Long post warning!
Started on a Memphis P bass copy that belonged to the church where my dad pastored. Very good Japanese bass, most likely made in the Matsumoku factory. Would like to have another.
At 17, finally able to buy my own bass, seduced by the Peavey Monitor magazine, bought a black/rosewood T-40. Made of neutronium. Dozens of tones, most of them unusable. Bought another one a few years ago for nostalgic reasons. Traded the original for...
Electra Westone Spectrum PJ bass. Decent bass, lightweight. Later stripped off the finish and defretted and installed EMGs (my Jaco phase), still later, stolen by a meth head.
Westone Quantum. Headless Steinberger knockoff. Bought another for nostalgic reasons about 20 years ago.
Electra Westone x695BK. Came with a fretted and fretless neck. Still have it, fretted neck was on the bass that got stolen.
Westone Pantera 5 string. Beautiful bass, clublike neck with narrow string spacing, neck heavy. All of the bad things about early affordable 5 string basses. Didn't sound good either. Bought another one last week for nostalgic reasons. I'm a glutton for punishment.
Peavey Foundation. This is the bass I should have bought when I bought my first bass. Great sounding, value priced bass. Was my main bass for a few years.
Ibanez SR506. My first six string, and the first bass with more than 4 strings that I bonded with. Was my main bass for several years.
CIJ Fender Jazz Geddy Lee. I always loved the tuxedo finish Jazz with black blocks and maple. I saw this one in a local store, and played it for a couple of hours. Finally decided to ask how much, and the store owner said "Oh, that Geddy Lee signature model?" I didn't know such a thing even existed, he showed me the signature on the back of the headstock. Geddy was my main inspiration for dedicating myself to bass. Of course I had to buy it.
Zon Sonus Custom fretless 5. Beautiful bass. Amazing tone. Piezo bridge, Bart humbuckers, and Polyfusion preamp. Joe's basses are all great, but his fretlesses are magical. I've never played a better fretless, and I've played them all. My main fretless for 25 years now.
Pedulla Rapture J2 5 with 19mm spacing. Gorgeous Jazz style bass. Great B string. Just couldn't get on with the dark sounding Barts and Bart preamp. Sold it. Would like another, but since Mike retired, the price on Pedullas has gone through the roof.
Peavey Cirrus 6 tigereye. Lovely 6 string, led to my selling my Ibanez 6 to a friend. My main 6.
Nordstrand SC5. My main bass. This is one of the finest instruments that I've ever played, at any price. I bonded with this bass, it's like an extension of my body. I've played very few that equal it, and none that surpass it. If I ever have to sell everything and keep one, this is the one.
Hamer CH12. I've been a fan of King's X and Galactic Cowboys since 1990. When Guitar Center blew these out one year for $299, I bought one. Used it in my Christian rock band for a few songs for many years.
SX BG80. Bought this back when SX was the hot cheap bass on Talkbass years ago. Decent P bass copy. Strung up with flatwounds for that old school P bass vibe.
Lakland D55-01. My wife gets excited about playing an instrument on occasion, we buy her one, and then she loses interest. I like this one so much that I traded her an Xbox for it when she quit practicing. Great backup 5 string.
Peavey T-40. Bought another one of these when they were the sexy retro bass everybody wanted, and immediately remembered why I traded the one I owned in my youth. Heavy, bad ergonomics, a million tones, most of them unusable.
Westone Quantum. Another purchase for nostalgic reasons. Great little headless bass. I take it with me when I fly. I've even played it in an airport on a long layover a couple of times.

Olympia Thunderchief import version. My wife's second go round of learning bass. It's still "hers", but I've played it way more than she has. I don't think she's played it in 20 years. I play it a few times a year.
Electra Phoenix x630n. My pawn shop prize. Actually bought it at a local music store, after Christmas a few years ago for $69. It was strung up with LaBella black tapewounds that coat more than I paid for the bass lol. Put those on my Electra fretless and strung this one up with steel roundwounds for that 70's rock Pbass vibe.
Nordstrand Nordy vJ5. Ever since I sold my Pedulla, I've wanted a 5 string Super Jazz. I really like this one, but I'm still not sure it's a keeper.
Westone Pantera. Bought another one of these, for nostalgic reasons.

These last two didn't make the family photo.

And on the way, just purchased for my second go round, Westone Pantera.
