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

[Clarky]

Now that I'm down to 3 basses (assuming we aren't including uprights), having been up to 6 a short while ago, its time to update my vote here and resuscitate this thread

Already voted/posted (#22) - my signature (below) shows the same 6 basses.
I acquired a Tokai Jazz Sound last year that had a couple of issues which I've since had sorted. Also had it converted to fretless.
I also have an Aria AMB-50 electro-acoustic bass. So it's 8 basses in total.

Here's the Tokai:

And the Aria:

5. Epiphone EB-0 in Pelham Blue

2 for me

A g and l l2000 tribute I brought back from new york with me this year and a soon to be modified squire affinity p bass that first got me playing.

[BottomE]

5 and they are in the sig.
Do i want more? Yes.
Will my family abandon me if i get another? Yes.

[Mog]

Slowly trimming the herd, just 7 left.

[Silvia Bluejay]

Blimey, there's currently 20 of you with 10+ basses. Awesome. I 'only' have 4 - waiting for my financial situation to improve (as in: reached rock bottom, the only way is up...) before allowing myself to become a serious case of GAS

[Paul_C]

I used to have loads, including around 20 Yamahas at one point.

I currently have 4 - two self-built and two acoustics.

I've got two more to finish building and a little bit of GAS which I'm resisting at the moment

[Linus27]

7 for me which is made up of fretted and fretless Fender's, Warwick, Stingray, ESP and a Washburn Acoustic which is for sale.

[fatboyslimfast]

3 - (see below). Would like to have a play on a Rick though. Just out of curiosity.

[Jazzneck]

6 - and one of them is Clarky's fault for selling his '53P replica!

(could be 7 if you include my son's acoustic bas which I'm "keeping safe for him" )

I've already completed the poll - realised that there's no "not enough" option...

Is the answer to how many basses do you [b]need[/b] always "just one more"??

[BigRedX]

"just [i][b]one[/b][/i] more"?

You're not ambitious enough

[leftybassman392]

7 here as well, down from (I think) 9 at it's peak, and about to go down to 5 once current offers are snapped up. (I mean, how many basses does one person need, really? )

[dmccombe7]

Good poll. Surprised me just how many players had several basses.
When younger i had one bass up till i had two.

[MacDaddy]

only 3 at the moment, but I have various guitars too. For me it's a space issue more than anything

If you're like me, you hold on to your cheap 4-string student bass for sentimental reasons (I would never sell it, and as a L/H model it would have a very limited market); then buy a good 4-stringer, then feel the need for a 5-stringer, then for an upright. I'm at the stage when I feel the need for a 5-string upright, but can't afford one yet (esp. as I need a L/H one). Such is life

[charic]

Currently using:
ACG tuned CGCF
MIM P bass tuned EADG
Yamaha RBX6JM tuned BEADGC

I DEFINITELY NEED MORE

Oooh! Can we include guitars as well?

Right, let me see now... that's, er, 7.... plus 10.... take away 3... carry the 1,............... 15!

[Stacker]

13, including the Ashbory. 11 are Jazzes.

[Dr.Dave]

3

1 x 1973 3ts Fender Precision with Badass/QP/Schallers - had it for 34 years

1x 199something Blue Flower Fender Precision 54 reish with badass/QP - had it for 3 or 4 years - so the above can stay safely away from the manky toilets I play most weekends

1x Shuker custom - a posh and lightweight Stingrayesque jobby really - had it 5 or 6 years now

Gone this last 12 months or so

Status 3000 headless with Shuker top - missed but it wasn't earning it's keep

Fender Fretless Precision - nice to have but just sat in the rack doing bugger all

Epiphone Explorer - good riddance to bad rubbish , though it did earn me a shed load along the way.

[Bazeley]

3 here

A Fender Precision, A Beastly Schecter hellraiser 5, and my new musicman stingray 3eq, beauty!

Always space for more....

[Skybone]

Just the one at the moment, though I should really trim the guitars down (3 electric, 2 acoustic)... Nah!

Do fancy another bass, but haven't seen anything recently that cries out "buy me!!!".

[SebCarr]

I clicked the option for one, but as of last night it's a big fat zero! This must be rectified quickly!

In my day you only had 4 strings.
How i managed to have 6 strings I'll never know.
Don't even know what the other two are for
