« Reply #15 on: December 16, 2008, 09:03:39 AM »
My dirty dozen +1 in no particular order:
 
98 Alembic Rogue 5 string
85 Alembic Persuader
83 Alembic Spoiler Exploiter
88 Alembic Spoiler 8 string
82 Fender Precision fretless
80ish St. Blues Jazz bass
Washburn xb-5 5 string
98 Martin D-35
early 80's Seagull acoustic
80's Ibanez Artist series Les Paul
Fender taco Strat
newish Fender USA Tele
Unknown make 6 string electric that looks like a Hofner and has a tremolo bar that looks like it was made from early Volkswagen parts. My first guitar acquired in '74!
 
Oh yeah and a kit harpsichord I acquired from my ex father in law....
 
I think I have a tambourine and a few other percussion items lying about somewhere!

Five at home, and two still at my parents' house.
 
Well, you did ask how many.

Well shoot...you can never have to much money, my wife is way understanding, and I don't have children- not by choice... that's the real biggie, in my humble opinion. So here goes:
 
Basses
Sig Std 5 w/upgrades
Sig Std short scale w/upgrades
Custom 4
Distillate/Exploiter
Fender American Deluxe Jazz 4
Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5
Fender CS Jaco Tribute
Fender CS 55 P relic
Fender CS 59 P custom  
Fender Stu Hamm Urge I
Ibanez Muscian fretless
Ibanez Bean Bass
Lakland US Joe Osborn
Sadowsky Standard 5 w/Cocobolo top
Spector NS2 w/spalted maple top
Tobias Classic 5
Fodera VW 4, on order
Sadowsky Vintage J, on order
 
Guitars
Brian Moore C90P
Brian Moore C90P.13
Brian Moore C90TP.13
Fender CS Strat
Fender CS Relic Strat
Fender CS Relic Tele
Gibson Johnny A
Gibson CS LP Jr.
Gibson CS LP R9
Ibanez 2681 Bob Weir model
Ovation Al Dimeola acoustic
PRS Custom 22
Washburn CS Jennifer Batten JB100
Yamaha Pacifica MS1511
 
I think that's it, except for a couple of Warmoth bass and guitars I have put together.
Right now, I go back and forth between the Sig 5 and the Sadowsky 5. Both just awesome instruments.
 
And yes, it is a sickness...

Let's see, I think I'll just list the ones I have here with me in CA:
 
Alembic '75 Series I doubleneck
Alembic '03 Stanley Clarke Signature Standard 5-string
Fender Japan Bass VI reissue
Gibson early-'70s Les Paul Triumph Bass
GIbson '68 Melody Maker Bass Pelham Blue
Guild '67 Starfire I Bass
Ibanez SR506 6-string
Rickenbacker '76 4001 Autumnglo
Rickenbacker '82 4008 Fireglo 8-string
 
Fender Japan '70s Stratocaster reissue
 
It's kind of a lot, but they aren't too redundant. I'm going to be moving soon, and if we get the house that we are trying to buy then we will have less space than I currently have. There are only a couple of basses on the wish list:
 
I want a fretless, either an Alembic or a Ric though I'm open to something else if it's interesting
I would love a small body, short scale, '70s Alembic
An 8-string Alembic
 
But for the time being I'm content! When space and money become an issue it becomes easier to get over GAS. What do you folks with 10+ guitars do with the ones you're not using?

Alembic Series II 6-string bass in cocobolo
Ribbecke Halfling Bobby Vega 4-string.
 
I'm leaning towards looking at baritone guitars right now.  And maybe an upright.

Twelve basses, six guitars, one electronic piano (that I don't know how to play). And that's only because I sold and donated a few this past year...
Ridiculous!!!!

Will, the Surine is a great bass. I'll probably get another one some day. For overall sound and quality I'd put it between Carvin and Alembic. It's pretty versatile, I can get a lot of sounds out of it. But I wish the Bartolini's were hard-mounted like the Alembic pickups. It's Amboyna Burl with Mahogany.

Have had a bunch over the years, but here's what I've kept, in order of purchase:
 
1979 John Gray custom 4 natural Bubinga - my first custom, it still sounds great, I mostly use it for recording, but play it occasionally
 
1992 Peavey DynaBass 5 gray - my first 5str, bought to see if I liked 5's, it's my emergency bass staying at church, played rarely
 
1993 Tobias Standard 5F natural maple - a nice fretless with an acrylic fretboard, played occasionally for fun
 
1975 Fender Precision natural ash - the maple fretboard with original flatwound Fender strings give this a really punchy sound, my wife (the piano player) loves the sound of this one
 
1992 Modulus Quantum 6 natural maple - until the recent Alembics this was the bass I played most often, but now it gets played only in questionable situations where I won't risk the Alembics
 
2003 Fender Custom Shop '59 Precision Sunburst - love that classic P-bass sound, it still gets quite a bit of use
 
2006 NS Design CR5M upright - broke both wrists and couldn't play bass guitar so I got an upright (finally had a good excuse!), this one's fun to play and sounds great, used frequently
 
1999 John Gray custom 5 natural Bubinga - original/previous owner was Gary Strater of Starcastle, I got this just before my Alembics, looks way cool and sounds great, haven't played it recently
 
1999 Alembic Rogue 5 wenge top - my first Alembic, I prefer the sound of this one to the 6str, so I swap between them for most of my playing
 
1998 Alembic Rogue 6 walnut top - my second (but not last!) Alembic, I like having that 6th string, but wish it had the same build (scale, electronics, top) as my 5str
 
So I'm still on my quest for the perfect bass but getting closer. It's a 6str Series II, 35 scale, ebony neck lams, ...

Oh yea, as of tomorrow (when UPS is scheduled to deliver it), I'll have a Veillette Gryphon High-D 12 string.  An AMAZING instrument.  Think mandolin on steroids!
