Clarky Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 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?" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Bass-M Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have just the one. Can we have a poll for the number of basses that I'd like to own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 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 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 5 - all Fender Precisions, and Gassing for another - black/black/maple. Then I will truly be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Seven but it's likely to be five by the Autumn. My anti-GAS phase has been quite liberating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I'm not in a band so anything over one probably wouldn't get used . But who knows what's around the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaver Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Clarky, how many do I own or how many of your old ones do I own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) 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.
