My "ideal collection" would largely made of up of variations (much nicer versions) of basses I've already owned but sold or traded and later regretted not having:
1) MTD 535 with wenge neck, myrtle burl top with matching headstock, finished in tealburst
2) Wal 5 with natural olive ash facings and ebony fretboard...maybe a fretted and fretless pair
3) Curbow carved-top Petite 6 with rosewood top and hollow tone chambers
4) Elrick 6 single-cutaway set-neck semi-hollow with buckeye burl top
5) Steinberger L-2
6) Rickenbacker 4001 Chris Squire Signature
7) David King headless 5 with wenge neck (I've still got this one...)
8) EVD acoustic bass guitar (ditto)
plus a some I've never owned but always wanted to:
9) '62 Fender Jazz, stripped down to natural
10) Spector NS-4P with figured walnut sides
11) Old Warwick Dolphin with Barts and "platinum" hardware
12) Fodera Emperor II 5 string with chestnut top and maple fretboard
13) F-bass Alain Caron fretless 6
14) Alembic Series 1 medium-scale Omega body with graphite neck
15) HG Leach fretless archtop acoustic bass
16) Steinberger electric upright
Guess I'd better start saving...

Wow, compared to you guys, I don't have much of an imagination.
1. Yamaha RBX260F, with TI/Jazz Flats - have it
2. Fender Jazz - saving up for it now
3. Fender Precision, with flatwounds - I'll get it eventually
4. Fretless Fender Jazz, with roundwounds - I'll get it eventually
I can't think of anything else I'd ever really need, although I'd also like a Rickenbacker 4001, just to have.

'00 Fender Am Srs Jazz (got it)
'01 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz (got it)
'78 Fender P (got it)
Ken Smith BSRJ5 (almost paid for)

Sadowsky Vintage 4
Lakland Bob Glaub
Carl Thompson
Fodera Emperor II
Alembic Serie II
F Bass
Even if I could afford all those bass, I'm pretty sure I could narrow it down to one.

My ideal collection is the group of basses that I have now. Someone mentioned that everyone was posting a bunch of basses with no common theme. I find that fact that all my basses were based on the Fender design relates them to one another.
Vintage Fender P
Vintage Fender J
MM Stingray 5
Lakland deluxe 5
Lakland deluxe fretless 5
There are two basses I would like to add. One is the new Lakland with the soapbar pickups (Jerry Sheff model). I played one at Lakland and found it to have really Killer tone. Second would be a Fodera Emporer Deluxe 5. I know, not Fender related, but such a beautiful looking instrument.
