Who needs the Collector's base? Humanity itself could probably already best the Reapers...
The codex states, that fighters can be easily equipped with the thanix cannon, giving them the firepower of a cruiser. Just look at what the SR2 with dual-thanix did to the Collector's ship. It is not known how many carriers and fighters Humanity has, but it's safe to say that they probably have atleast 50+ carriers, each the size of a dreadnought, potentially carrying 2k+ fighters each. It's probably even more than that, just look at modern day nations and their militaries.
So... Thats potentially (as I said, probably even more...) 100k+ fighters, each equipped with thanix cannons, granting them firepower that greatly outmatches that of a Collector ship, combined with superior manoeuvrability and speed. I'd say the entire Reaper fleet would be overwhelmed rather easily. The Reapers haughtiness is also one of their greatest weaknesses, so they'll probably disregard their flanks and their backs. And well... Humanity isn't on it's own.
Just to clarify again, the numbers I mentioned are not supported by facts, just a logical assumption.
