The ideal number of basses is n+1, where n is the number you currently have [/quote] It does'nt just stop with basses , after the guitar bit , you move onto the huge array of amps and cabs , then pedals , leads , tuners ,straps , gig bags and all the other paraphernalia that comes with this cursed addiction . Of course , scanning the for Sale sections on basschat just fans the flames of desire . Quote

The ideal number of basses is n+1, where n is the number you currently have [/quote] When I joined this forum I thought GAS was a bit of a joke, having owned just one bass for 36 years. I now know that it's a deadly serious addiction like any other and sufferers need help! Quote
HowieBass Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Had just a single bass for about 25 years, then got back into playing, joined Basschat and it's now 5 basses and counting; I don't really need a Stingray but... Quote
