The 5 string traveler is there as a place holder for my next Alembic.  
The blue 4 string is a 1988 PRS Curly Bass-4 Model with a maple set neck, Brazilian rosewood fret board, bird inlays, 34? scale, solid Mahogany body, and quilted Maple Ten Top. It has 3 PRS Single- coil Pickups, plus hum-canceling coil in rear of body. The 4 controls are volume, 5 way selector (selector 2 sounds very much like a PBass and selector 4 has a Jazz bass sound), ?deep? and ?clear? control  EQ, and active circuit bypass switch. It also has a PRS bass bridge and nickel hardware.  
The Best for last:  a 2004 Mark King Signature 5 string, Balance K with a Heart Omega Stinger and red side rail lights.
I am planning to get rid of the PRS bass to get another Alembic 5. If you kknow of anyone that may be interested in a cash/trade let me know.

How about the 3 string square thing on the floor - that really caught my eye.

That's my pride and joy...
A co-wroker of mine who started me playing the guitar a couple of years ago, made me a cigar box bass that has an acoustic pickup. The frets are made of nails, nut is an old bolt, and bridge is a drawer handle. It has a pretty decent growl tone and great for 12 bar jamming. Needs a humbucker though...LOL

I forgot to mention the fret board markers are flattened furniture tacks

Cool!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!
