That about covers it.

[cloudburst]

A "go-to" bass.
A bass with an alternative number of strings.
A fretless bass.
An easy-to-transport bass.
A bass that has sentimental value.

+1 except Id have my YOB bass and an upright instead of 'easy to transport' and 'fretless'.

Mine so far are;

'62 RI Jazz - My 'go to' bass
SR1605 - Alternate number of strings and easy to transport bass
'75 RI Jazz - My Year of Birth bass
Geddy Lee Jazz - My 'sentimental' bass

Just need a nice upright and that'd be my 5 sorted

I think that should cover all potential requirements.

[BobVbass]

Lakland Bob Glaub
MM Stingray 5
Ibanez SR 5 string of some sort
Fender P Fretless
Framus Blond Upright

would do me nicely, so just another 3 to get then....

[Geek99]

Don't need 5 - my bass doc precision has cured GAS - it does everything and plays like its coated in butter.

[Muzz]

A Dingwall 4 (go-to)
A good P/J (fallback)
A Fenderbird (rawk'n'roll)
A BC Rich 8 (exotica)
A coffee-table luthiery one (Shuker, or Overwater, Sei, etc) just for the look of it.

Although the Dingwall would do just fine on its own.

[EBS_freak]

GB. 5 string. That's all. Not really that fussy.

[ZenBasses]

Agree with the above

I'll go for..

3 Shukers + 2 GBs...

Sorted

[charic]

Got :
ACG Finn 4
Yamaha RBX6JM
Fender P bass (modified)

Would add :
Dingwall Super J5
Something else
