What do you own?

[T-Bay]

Just wondering if most people stick to one type or have a range.

[TheGreek]

I currently have several 4s, one that is fretless and a 5er...Normally I only use fretted 4s. Thinking about it, the fretless and 5er haven't been played in weeks.

[Lozz196]

Four-string basses for me, and rarely use all four of those, so no point me getting any more strings on my basses.

[ambient]

I'm probably going to be the only person to vote 'other' .

You didn't say whether this was basses or instruments.

I have a 4 string bass (& one in bits), a 6 string acoustic (guitar), a ukulele & a keyboard. I'm wanting a 5 string bass, possibly fretless.

Arrr. missed that bit. I'll amend my vote.

2 x 4. One fretless. I could see the attraction in a BEAD 4 string though. Not sure if it's doable without filing the nut though.

[Woodinblack]

Mostly 5s, and a fretless 5, but I also have some 4s.

A 7 string, my only bass.

[dmccombe7]

Started with 4 and after a few ventures into 6 stringers then went for few 5 stringers for a Prog project i am now back to my simple Fender Jazz bass cause it just seems to fit most of the styles i play.

Currently I have three four strings.

I'm hopefully adding a 4 string fretless in December or January.

At some vague point in the future I'll almost certainly get a 6 string bass, but that may require some saving up.

My main bass, a Hofner Verithin, an OLP 4-string baritone guitar/bass, our youngest's 5-string Cort and my Douglas 6-string fretless. A whole load of guitars, drums, keys and other stuff, but the poll says 'Bass types', so...

Nah ... I'm bang alongside you.

Us bass uke players have to stick together, right?

But Shirley, that's a 4-string fretless?

[planer]

2 fretted 4's - BB424X & 'pimped' J&D Jazz.

1 fretted acoustic 4 - a cheapie Harley Benton, bought after following the 'deko' thread.

A uke

[thodrik]

Two fives, three fours and a double bass.

All fretted apart from the double bass.

I have a lot of cool basses, about 8, all 4 strings. My favs are probably my early 2000 MIJ Fender P 1950s reissues.

Of course being a baby boomer I love my Gibson 1991 Thunderbird as well as my Gibson ES-335, and Gold Top Les Paul basses.

Love my custom German made Hofner Club Bass with Cavern Club PU spacing.

This weekend I'll gig my G&L 1991 ASAT bass ( Tele body style, active pre-amp )

I don't collect, I gig all of them.

[Cat Burrito]

All 4 string basses and an upright. I have owned a resonator bass which I guess could come under others.

[Bobthedog]

Two fives / two fours. All fretted.
