So, just how many basses do you own ????

[vantagepointrocks]

Just the one, a Charvel I bought 2nd hand back in 1994 for £200. 

Admittedly I play guitar in my band and have only played the bass at five or six gigs, so it isn't that road-worn as such.

Which is that expensive gas that you get from a posh meal at a very exclusive Michelin starred restaurant...

[Urban Bassman]

I have had up to five basses in the past of various makes and models but now I have just three....

 

...and I am very, very pleased with them and GAS free 😎

[Bridgehouse]

Right. That’s enough Wal porn

Forgot a picture 

1. 1 of 2 Farida Fretless prototypes but with a swapped fretted neck, Duncan classic stacks, ash, Maple - does everything well. Messed about with this, has a Pickguard and the kids put stickers on the back whenever they fancy.

2. MIM Geddy - not finished with this yet, very impressed after a week. Some bits arriving.

3. That Jazz thing (64 CS) mad figured neck as wide as a 64 Jazz, as deep as a 75 P....

4. 2 of 2 Farida Fretless - a pipe dream when I worked for their UK distributor. Wanted to beat the Squier VM Fretless for a little more money - the spec left it at £799. Got canned. I have the only 2 made.

Did you buy them in Stow’s Stores by any chance?... 🙃

[tauzero]

Somewhere less than 20 and more than 15. Three Seis, five Antoniotsais, two Warwicks, an Esh, a Peavey, a Dean, a Hohner, two Ashborys, an NS WAV-4, and a brace of acoustic basses. Half a dozen guitars - two Variaxes, a Squier, an Eko, a Tanglewood, and a Yamaha 12-string. Not quite sure where the Megatar goes (Chapman Stick derivative).

I know Chapel from old. My aunt was married to Bert Hoyes who owned that store before he passed. She still lives there and so do her 2 kids, my cousins. My grandparents also moved up there from Romford with 7 kids back in the 50’s and my mum remembers when the flood hit. I spent many (happy?) childhood days in Chapel visiting the rallies and chucking brown coins into the slot machines and riding the bumper cars!

Sorry to hijack the thread! Back on topic - wonderful Wals you have there!
