Conan Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I kind of assumed that people would be able to look at our signatures and see for themselves, but now I'm wondering how many people "hide" sigs? Especially as so many of them are so bloody long!! Anyway, I now have five basses - which is the greatest number I have ever owned In simple terms - one Status and four J basses!! And, yes, the Js do all sound and feel different (especially the fretless one, which goes without saying I suppose!). Status series 2 1986 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass (CIJ 2007) Fender Standard Jazz Bass (MIM2009) No-name chinese (I think) J copy - defretted by the Bass Doc J&D brothers 1975 Vintage J bass (2014) In the last three years or so I have also owned (courtesy of this place!): Spector Euro 4LX Carvin XB75P Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass (A different one!) Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass (CIJ 2006) EBMM Sterling Now I really want a P bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Two electric basses and the upright bass so not sure if that counts as two or three for the purposes of the pole. A Squier Cabronita and a 50s tele bass (also Squier) plus the European blonde upright. In the past I have owned approximately 928,376 other basses but thankfully I kicked the GAS habit a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticktock Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Three plus an old Marlin sidewinder behind the wardrobe. It counts as a bass doesn't it? Hohner Jack 4 string Ibanez EDB 550 Vintage AV4 Want......more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am happy with three elec basses, I try and use them in turn as much as possible and a fourth would mean quite a while for the first to get a gig right now, that said I would like a Lakland 55-14 soon but I cant see me getting rid of any of the 3 Rays even though that single Lakland would cover all three existing basses, hhmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlapbassSteve Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Down from 20 or so when I was in college, to just six... there's a weird correlation between playing more and more since I've been playing bass for a living, and selling all my spare basses... I think the more I've been playing, the more I've realized which basses I actually need and which ones are just nice to have around... or perhaps in other words it was basses or rent haha!

KingBollock Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Four for me. Westone P/J [size=2](because I didn't have a bass at the time and it was cheap. Plays nice, too)[/size] Aria Pro II MAG-20/5 [size=2](it was cheap and I wanted to see if I could get on with a five string. Like the Westone, it is too cheap to bother going to the effort of trying to sell. I might defret it)[/size] Cort T-35 BC Rich Warlock NT I have only had two other basses and I only want one other. I'd like a fretless Cort Curbow, preferably in piano white. Edited October 1, 2014 by KingBollock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordep Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 3 atm. 4 string fretted (beater) bass, a fretless 4, and a 5 string. saving up for a sixer. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just the one! White Yamaha BB424x. Completely GAS free too. If I had money to spend on music gear I'd buy a synth rather than another bass that I don't need! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I was down to 3 basses for just under 3 hours before I was back up to 4. I think I hit 6 at one point? Was at 5 for ages. I have: Bass Collection SB320 Overwater Classic J (Tanglewood one) Yamaha TRBX 504 Squire VM Jazz The Squire is currently my favourite and also my newest bass. Bass Collection was my main gigging one for ages but we'll see how the Squire works out when I take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I thought 3 was too many - but i do have bad GAS right now that may see and change in my line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
