Fine. Still going strong after a decade.
With the usual Electro Acoustic moans about lack of volume and willingness to feedback in loud environments aside!

And I'm now minus the Ergodyne. I dropped it. It broke. Luthite is not very impact resistant. The whole control cavity sheared off and busted the circuit board, too... Beyond economic repair. Especially after I kicked it (in annoyance) and broke the neck so badly that you could pull the truss-rod out. It lost half its frets too.
Luthite bodies - Beware impacts
Ibanez necks - Beware Sheehan neck-bends (or my feet of fury)

Added another 11 since my original post:

Born To Rock F4b
Gus G3 5 Active
Hartke XL-4
Kramer 450B
Lace Helix Fretless 5
Manne Piccolo Bass
Overwater Original Fretless 5 Extra Long Scale (the first 5-string Extra Long Scale Overwater bass made according to Chris May)
Reverend Rumblefish 5L
Sei Flamboyant Fretless 5
Switch Innovo
Tokai Talbo B-135

plus a Stagg EUB

and I sold the Squier VMFJ

So the total is now 26 Basses, 7 Guitars, 1 EUB, and 2 MIDI controllers.

It's nice to see I'm nowhere near alone in the 8+ category. Five Tsais, two Warwicks, a Hohner Jack, a Jerry Atrics twin neck, a 5-stringed 4-string P-frankenbass, an acoustic 4-string fretted, a project bass I got off the dontcarebear a while ago, and an NS WAV-4. I think that's it.
