Yay! Poll time. How many basses do you own?

[Clarky]

I am sure this has been asked but I don't remember a poll - and I do love a poll

Let me start, I have four (excluding the DB, which doesn't really count as its more an attractive ornament than an instrument, the little it ever gets played). In fact, let me re-phrase to "how many electric basses do you own?" ...

[M-Bass-M]

I have just the one.

Can we have a poll for the number of basses that I'd like to own?

[BigRedX]

More than 10 and heading towards cetera and DotB territory - although not as fast as I was...

And I'm going to take a wild guess that none of them are Fenders, BigRedX

[Marvin]

Just the one for me. I can't play really, so any more would be sheer extravagance on my part Also compounded by not having enough money to buy anymore or the space to keep them out of the reach of my kids.

[Lozz196]

5 - all Fender Precisions, and Gassing for another - black/black/maple.

Then I will truly be complete.

I'm rubbish but it hasn't stopped me going to town!

[Cat Burrito]

Seven but it's likely to be five by the Autumn. My anti-GAS phase has been quite liberating.

I suspect that you're much better player than you say are Clarky. Anyway I'm not in a band so anything over one probably wouldn't get used . But who knows what's around the corner

[WarPig]

6 but thinning the heard down very soon.

[goblin]

8 although I'm trying to sell 2 of them.

Warwick Corvette fretted active
Warwick Corvette fretless passive
Fender Ashbory
Tokai Jazz Sound
5 string Peavey Grind BXP NTB (for sale, PM for details)
4 string Hohner B2a headless (for sale, PM for details)
Wal something or other, 4 string fretted passive. looks like a pro but it isn't.
Stagg EUB

How did you guess! In fact the closest thing I have to a Fender type bass is a Wesley in purple acrylic.

[Doddy]

10 +

Actually 20+

[Clarky]

After 28 votes, 50% of BC'ers polled own 5 or more basses. Blimey, I was guessing there would be a skew between people owning 1-3 basses and those with humungous collections

[Stag]

6 for me, all completely different!

[Jigster]

five at the mo - had more than five but culled some - that's something i love seeing on this forum btw, the way BCers say "got six, seven, eight, nine, ten etc..BUT I'm trimming it down guvnor, honest" - like, what IS this guilt?

[deaver]

Clarky, how many do I own or how many of your old ones do I own?

[Bassassin]

More than 10 - in fact a lot more than ten. I've honestly lost count.

*edit* Did a rough bodycount and there are more than 30 - but in mitigation of my GAS, this includes various currently unplayable projects and several which are queuing at the exit.

Jon.

In answer to the latter, I thinks its only one now (Alembic) as you sold the US P bass

So do I count the EUB or not, and do I count the electro-acoustic or not. I tell you what, I did count them.

[Alien]

I'm currently quite happy with 4 (down from 7 about 2 months ago!)

Still, never hurts to [i]look[/i] at a few others from time to time...
