That's cool. I've been considering getting a five-string and tuning it that way.

I have a Fender Classic Series Jazz Bass. Very good intstrument in its price range, and as of today I haven't found a bass I like better (and I've played a lot of fancy high end stuff).

I also have an old Ibanez Roadstar II which plays beautifully but sounds pretty bad. I'm going to get some new electronics for it some day to improve the sound.

That's the one with the short scale length, right? 
 
My bronco has the same neck that was used on the Stratocaster and the Mustang. The main difference was the single vs. multiple pick-ups and the electonics that go along with that. There's probably other differences too. The Bronco was the lowest price guitar Fender sold, I believe.

Lately, it's been my Epi Les Paul Jr. with a P90 in it.

Cheap, basic but the sound is great.
 
My telecaster is becoming restless, I'll take it out of the case and play it soon.

I have a Takemine EAN 15c
 
 
 
A Charvel neck through like this one. (Mines not missing pickups)

Charvel%20-%20Model%206%20-%20Red

My first electric guitar, which I still have, is a 1983 Ibanez Roadstar II, exactly like this one.
 
This is my baby...  the Mobius Megatar Custom MaxTapper Piezo Midi, mine is slightly different from this stock photo. Mine has black Bartaloni pickups instead of the gold pictured.
 
 
 
I have several other guitars, like an old EKO electric 12 string that feels like it is made of balsa wood and BC Rich platinum strat that is in pieces (I want to make something totally weird out of it). I also have a Squier 7string w/floyd that I got at Guitar Center's grand opening here for $179.

I currently play an Ovation acoustic/electric.. but for electric I like the Strat and the beautiful axes Paul Reed Smith makes. My first guitar was a home-constructed Les Paul made with Gibson parts
