BassTractor Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Bu', bu' ... that vid doesn't answer my question?!? Having three times as much as he has - is [b]that[/b] too much? b, b Quote
Roger2611 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 You can never have too much gear it's impossible, build extension if need be Quote
Cameronj279 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 In reply to the thread title. No I don't! Quote
Spike Vincent Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I don't think I have too much gear,but my wife does. Quote
Bassman Sam Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) My ex-wife thought that I had too much gear. Edited January 17, 2013 by Bassman Sam Quote
TheGreek Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 When you do think you've got too much gear just check out Nick Smith's (Doctor of the Bass)... Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 It is true! Far too much gear! Thanks Mick! x Quote
Stacker Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) This reminds me of a Billy Sheehan puff-piece in Bass Player back in the '90s. Sycophantic interview aside, the article included a full-page diagram of Sheehan's studio rig. There were several DIs,amps, limiters, compressors, effects, EQs, splitters and a bunch of cabs - one with a servo-assisted cone!! I wish I still had that magazine so I could post them diagram but the best way to describe it would be like a Powerpoint slide, with objects linked my multiple paths. Bizarre.

Thanks Mick! x [/quote] So with your 90 Basses, can we assume that you won't be acquiring any more gear?? Or are you going to stop when you hit 3 digits?? Quote

Have you ever even contemplated what new possibilities those three digits give? On the Music Man forum, there's a guy who owns more than 300 Music Man instruments, 320 IIRC, and I seem to remember all of them are basses too. Seriously. Not that I condone it, of course. best, bert Quote

Fat Rich Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Um... I lost count of the basses a while ago, I seem to be festooned with the things. Nowhere near 90 though so I guess that's all right. Quote
BassTractor Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 [quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1361798285' post='1990954'] Imagine the insurance premium on that! 320 instruments at upwards of £1000 each? [/quote] Yeah, indeed. Got it confirmed that it was 320 basses quite some months ago, probably more now, and not even counting the basses he owns that are from other brands. I tried to quickly calculate in my head what they had costed, most of them even being expensive limited editions, but when I saw how dazzling the amount was, I just dropped it. BTW; I do have way too much gear myself as well, and am even aiming at 12 basses / 5 amps / 8 cabs, but once I have that much, I'm not going to sell away some of it until I know all that gear a lot better. best, bert Quote

Rayman Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 2 x basses & 1 x amp.......that's me........ I'm beginning to think that maybe......I need more stuff?? Quote
John Schoen Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 There is no such thing as too much gear. Just not enough space to keep it all.:-) Quote
joeystrange Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Come on, if we had the cash we'd all have that much gear! I know I would, anyway! I played a gig with him years ago and he had four amps, about a dozen guitars and a pedalboard almost half the size of the stage, just for a tiny gig in Nottingham! Quote
