My collection is not as extensive or impressive as most that I have seen on this forum, but it suits me for the moment... so here it is:
Fender Jaguar Bass (Made in Japan)
I just bought this fella today. It was a hard decision between this and an Ernie Ball Stingray 5. I love the Stingray for its thumpy low end, but the Jaguar ultimately won due to the incredible versatility of tone it can produce (probably more practical for my current band)… also the Jaguar is roughly half the price of the Stingray, and my girlfriend will kill me if I spend anymore money on guitars!
Fender Highway One Telecaster (Made in USA)
I absolutely love this guitar. I (begrudgingly) replaced the standard 3 saddle bridge with a 6 because the intonation was a little off. Everything else is still standard.
Maton E325C Acoustic Electric (Made in Australia)
Maton make very well built beautiful guitars. This one is no exception.
Musoland PRS Knock Off (Made in China) * work in progress *
I wanted a guitar for modding purposes and have always liked the shape of PRS guitars (I don’t like their tone or price tag though). So I bought this really cheap from a website in China which has since been shut down (due to copyright laws). I wasn’t expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised when it turned up. The wood is really light which is horrible and the electronics produced a really thin sound. It also came with gold hardware, which didn’t do much for me. However, it plays nice. I have since gutted it and am slowly resurrecting it with nicer electronics and black hardware…
I have already replaced the strap buttons, speed knobs and output socket. I have also fitted Sperzel tuners (including a D-Thing). I am still to fit a tune-o-matic bridge to replace the Floyd Rose style one I removed. I also have some nice Seymour Duncan humbuckers to install. When finished, all the new gear will be worth a fair bit more than what I originally paid for the guitar!
My Guitars in situ in the “music” corner of my room.
I know it's slightly off topic but I also use a couple of crappy Casio keyboards (one heavily circuit bent SK-1 and a minty vanilla SA-20). They are lo-fi but I think that just adds to their charm and character. |

It wouldn't suprise me to see a BOSS fan buy a bass with loads of switches  What do you use the ultrapatch pro for? |

Ha! Yeah, I guess that makes sense...
I run my effects in several parallel chains rather than in one big long chain. The eight colour cables hanging out the front interrupt 2 stereo chains and insert volume pedals - so instead of turning the effect on or off I turn it's volume up or down (to zero if I'm not using that effect). This way my cherished Boss pedals don't need to touch the floor or my foot, and can be at instrument height for on-the-fly tweaking - why have all those lovely little buttons and knobs out of reach on the floor? (Moogerfooger pedals are particularly *awesome* for tweaking).
That pic is of a very minimal version of my set up... I currently have around 30 effects pedals, some rack-mounted pedals and another 6 volume & expresion pedals which sit on the ground. The patch bay just makes it easier to control the unruly mess of cables and route everything to my mixer. By splitting things into parallel chains I can eliminate a lot of noise and tone sucking. It also helps for ease of portability (ie minimal set up time).

Nice!... I may have lots of switches, but I do love simplicity sometimes as well. There would definitely be a P-Bass in my top 5 fav basses.

+1 
Especially Jazz or Jaguar basses. Even the weird concept of black (plastic) block inlays looks great. |
