    For those that may be curious, check out the collection of guitars that Mark Knopfler has out on tour with him right now. There's a photo in this post at Guy Fletcher's site:

    I would imagine he's got a few more at home...

    Do basses count?

    I lean Fender from a players standpoint, and for some reason loath every Gibson bass I lay my hands on.

    from a Guitarists I have played with standpoint? I've heard both sound brilliant, though will never understand why the tuners on a 3000k+ Les Paul custom can't hold tune for more than a song and a half.

    Below is my Geddy Lee Jazz Bass (black) and a kind I Frankenjazz I pieced together myself.

    Nah, I'm a Markbass guy predominantly. Had horrible luck playing Ampegs, seems the big ampegs just don't agree with me for some reason (though there smaller portaflex amps sounded pretty nice....though many reliablility complaints)

    Markbass = hard on the wallet, but delightfully Easy on my back.
