2 for me. A Fender Modern Player Jazz, and my new HB PB50. I can't honestly see having more that that - in fact, if I get the HB upgraded to how I want it, I'll be probably selling the Fender (unless I start gigging out a lot more, in which case I'll keep it as a back-up!)

As of this week I'm down to 50 basses. 7 of which are Harley Bentons. 1 Saein 6 Stringer so technically a HB 1 Acoustic HB-BK30 still with original strings,changing to La Bella white nylon 1 BZ-4000-NT 1 JB-75 1 PB-20 tuned BEAD 1 PB-50 strung with Status Hot Wire Nylon flats 1 RB 414-CS strung with flats 3 Basses are self builds but unlike the extremely talented blablas above mine are just bolted together .4 are 5 string basses,2 are fretless, 3 are Short Scale.Some are tuned BEAD,some strung with are flats,some nylon tapes. I don't have a favourite and I rotate them pretty regularly but some do get neglected Since this was posted another 8 or 9 have come to stay. A HB Bass Uke 1 HTR P/J 4 1 HB-60 VW 1 PB-50 was bought for a project that I've since balls'd up (puke) I know it's a year later, but how is that Bass Uke treating you? I'm seriously interested in getting one myself!

Sold both the fretted and fretless versions last month. No particular reason other than I was asked to sell. Decent tones once you get a handle on altering your playing style, the strings are nearly twice as thick and the frets far smaller. Plus if you fret too hard the string bends between the frets causing the note to go slightly sharp. Too heavy an attack while plucking will cause the strings to bounce off the fret board. A light dusting of talc helps if the strings start to get sticky,there is a silicone lub spray but I'd be concerned about reacting with the wood.
If I had a use for them and didn't have a house move happening I might have kept them but as it was a fella was selling one,I chipped in my thoughts on them,4 people wanted to buy so approached me and only one poor guy was disappointed.

I own just one bass by the way. I have owned a Richwood Jazz copy and an Ibanez SR300 but I've sold the Jazz Bass to a friend and upgraded my SR300 to an SR600, which is now my main and only bass (I love it). I'm also waiting for a new Harley Benton PB-Shorty as a modding platform. That's how I found you guys!

So, at the moment I have: Fender Jazz AVRI 75 Rickenbacker 4003 Bach p51 (a cheapo P'51 copy, but decent enough) Fender Precision STD, defretted and equipped with EMG PHz Kala UBass Hutch Hutchinson HB P-Shorty and I think that's all for now. I'm still on the fence on a 5er/downtuned 4 strings bass though... of course pics will arrive, just as soon as I can
