Got too many basses? Flowchart here...

[solo4652]

Bit of fun. My brother's just sent me this. It mainly relates to guitars but it's mostly true for basses too, I reckon.

[Doctor J]

Dammit. I need to buy more.

[LiamPodmore]

Aye, same here. I have no Strat, Tele, Dreadnaught Acoustics, Mudbuckers OR P90's. I better get shopping.

Haha its good, some one with much more technical skill than me could do a bass specific version?

[Mornats]

Love it

[charic]

There's a flaw in it. If you have a 1:1 ratio of electrics & acoustics you may only have two guitars. What about backups for gigging?

All the above with a Status neck......

[Fat Rich]

Sorry but this flow chart is nonsense. What's gigging got to do with anything?

Chop off the bottom few boxes and it'll be spot on.

Especially the box that says 'You've probably got enough'

Replace it with 'what the hell' and an arrow pointing to 'buy more guitars'

I will contemplate a bass version incorporating all of the above, but I'll have to squeeze it onto A0 paper. Alternatively I might just do a simpler one

[ShergoldSnickers]

A simple three box chart is really all that is needed.

Still alive? > Yes > buy more basses.
V
No
V
Stop reading this and lie still.

[ead]

But wher's the fun in that

[solo4652]

Whole section missing:


"Are you bored with your playing?"

if Yes, Have you:
changed your strings?
tried to learn new songs?
bought a new strap?

If Yes to any, go to "Buy more basses"


If No to "Are you bored with your playing?" , go to "Hiding any basses at a friend's place?"

Each of the above with flatwounds
Each of the above with rounds

(is the serious reason I bought my latest bass)

[EdwardHimself]

here is another really important chart that you should memorise:

Alternatively, you could replace "You've probably got enough" with "OK - perhaps it's time to consider a double bass" and an arrow pointing to "buy more basses".

[Mornats]

Ask the cat if you should buy any more basses:

Damn it!!! No wife, no kids. That must mean I have to buy more basses. Ah, well, such is life.

Got wife got kids awaiting delivery of Christmas present.

The reason, it's the 4 string version of my 6 stringer

Guilt free bass collection expansion.

That sounds like a bit of a gap. What about just filling it with a fiver for good measure. Or is that too anal.

[Leemarc Ferguson]

The way I see it you can NEVER have too much of something you love!!
