Keavin,
 
I'm down to two and holding (for now).  I've had a total of six over time.  A couple times I've had three simultaneously.
 
I started with an '83 Spoiler, traded that for an '87 Stanley Clarke, then picked up a '74 Series I small body (lonnnng story to that one) and a '79 Series II small body.
 
I eventually sold the Stanley Clarke and the Series II to fund the purchases of the two I still have.  Lastly, I sold the '74 Series I because it was gathering dust.  I think I'm regretting that sale.
 
The two I have will be with me and eventually inherited by my kids.  I may have to seriously consider one of the balance point bodies with a heart omega, probably fretless.  I'll save that for a REALLY good bonus year.
 
Peace,
 
James

James I think every collection needs one of the balance point omegas.  Fretted or fretless, or both.  I just got a Thumb Bass so it's probably to early to convince Senior Management that we have an omega deficit.
