CamdenRob Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Recently saw a poll on TB and couldn't find a similar thread here so thought I'd start one. I've never started a thread with a poll in it before so thougnt I'd try that out too. Its quite interesting to see the average number of basses owned, some of those guys on TB have 60 odd basses I'll get the ball rolling, I currently have three with two more incoming; Fender P Fender J Spector sixer Peterbuilt fretless (incoming) Wal sixer (incoming) Edited October 1, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
PaulWarning Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 does a right handed (I'm cack handed) encore I found leaning against a dustbin count? Quote
Roland Rock Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Two for me - a W&T 5 and a '78P. I've never had the desire for a fretless or a sixer, so these two do me fine. Of course, if I won the lottery I'd have a Gretsch Billy Bo, a Ritter R8 5 and a Status Kingbass 5 just for fun :-D Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Hofner Verithin 4-string Cort J-MM 5-string Douglas J 6-string fretless OLP Baritone guitar/bass All quite different. Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 My bad... I've changed the 5-10 to 6-10... kinda makes more sense. Quote
Hobbayne Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Just the two I,m afraid. A 2011 US Standard P Bass In Olympic White and a Sunburst Bitsa thing I put together from bits and peices (In my avatar pic) Quote
M@23 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 [quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1412158318' post='2566169'] 11 in total - all Precisions. [/quote] Good stuff! 2 Precisions for me. Quote
alittlebitrobot Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I have four. The first bass I owned, an acoustic 4 string, is bursting with sentimental value and is somewhat magical, so I'm keeping it. Then a fretted 6 and a fretless 4. ...but then I just made a short scale fretless 4 a couple of weeks ago. I want to make more guitars, but I don't actually need (or have space for) any more, so I don't really know what to do. Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 *Stop Press* I thought this must have been done before. Same thread from before my time on BC. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/100416-yay-poll-time-how-many-basses-do-you-own/page__hl__many%20bass%20poll Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Are there no single bass men out there? GAS free in their unibass world..... Quote

Bo0tsy Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 2 with a 3rd on the way Washburn Space Bass, Warwick Corvette $$ Ltd edition, and a Warwick Space Bass coming this month. 3 is enough for me. Quote
thebassist Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1412163110' post='2566265'] Which is the best? [/quote] Do you know, I'd say from a sound perspective it's the '13 model but from a playability perspective my '64 wins hands down. It's so smooth from the years of heavy use. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 See my sig! I also have an old Dynelectron Longhorn in need of TLC and refurbishment and, recently added (and really deserving of it's own thread), a rather magnificent Fernandes FAB 180. Again, they all do [i]very[/i] different things - aside from the two Yamahas which do exactly the same thing. Quote

Graham Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Three, though in reality only two get used: G&L American SB2 G&L Tribute L2000 Squier Affinity Precision (my first bass, sticker covered and almost never used) Quote
