Evil Undead Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Isn't it strange - I always tell myself that I am only allowed as many basses as will fit on my stand. I have one of those racks that [i]are made to[/i] hold 5 instruments. But I currently have 7 basses balance precariously on this rack Technically I'm not breaking the rules that I set for myself but do you guys think it's getting a bit silly now?

Paul S Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I started off with that intent - a x7 rack for basses and 2 guitars and strictly 'one in, one out'. Funny how 'rules' change to 'guidelines' so quickly... Now I keep the extras in their cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Remember that Gibson are killing the rainforest so there won't be any basses in the future - you'd best stock up now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grum Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 One of my other passions is mountain biking. On mountain bike forums the rule is: Ideal number of bikes = N+1 (with N being the current number of bikes) I believe this could apply equally well to basses.

clarkpegasus4001 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 You could always buy another rack that holds another 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apa Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Yep, buy another rack and the clock is set to zero ago Its all BC's fault though. I came here with 2 18 months ago and now have 10 Im already thinking of another build. And if you want another excuse 7 is an odd number 8 feels much better, or 10 or 12 etc etc etc A Edited November 1, 2011 by apa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 What you actually need is 4 more racks and a rack to hold the racks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically it's 7 1/2 because I have a body with no neck but I'm selling the spare jazz body and one of my other basses to make 6. Nice even number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It's a killer isnt it?! Theres always a nice fretless, double, jazz, p bass, 5 string, 4 string etc! I'm down to one electric and one upright, but I've owned loads over the years! You have to spend your money on something I guess :-) ....oh and amp!.....and cabs!

Len_derby Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I've got a double gig-bag. They're great for hiding all sorts of things. A mate of mine, a guitarist tried this one. After promising his wife that he wouldn't buy anymore guitars he found he still had that 'old itch that can't be scratched'. Being a crafty devil he got round his promise by buying the component parts separately and assemblying the guitar himself. His claim was that he hadn't bought a guitar, he'd bought bits of one. I don't think they spoke to each other for about a week when she worked it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Another loophole is he could buy a bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
