This thread has made things much easier for me, the missus was complaining about my 4 basses since I showed her some of the posts on here she's quite content now 😁

how many more do I need to make a wall? 😆

[bassfan]

Just the 3 left now (blue jazz, pink shuker and the modulus ) awaiting the arrival of a Status 😃 , I can’t go below 4 or there’s an empty hanger on the wall! Well that’s how I justify things........

Isn’t the equation something like;

Number of basses owned +1=happy

?

[fretlessguy]

I guess it is my turn. I currently have 11 basses:

 

1. Fender 74 Jazz

2. Fender 96 Fretless P Bass

3. Fender 55 reissue sting P Bass

4. Fender Modern Player Short scale Jazz

5. Carvin Bolt 5 Fretless

6. Carvin Bolt 5

7. Carvin AC40 Fretles Acoustic bass guitar

8. Peavey USA 80's Forum Bass

10. Ibanez SRX 400

11. Brice Short Scale 5 string fretless

I also have three bass ukuleles, which others may or may not agree they are bass guitars. Solid body Kala 5 string fretless, an exotic maple

acoustic, and a freless acoustic made by Hadean (surisingly a better sounding one than the Kalas)

I am no longer pursuing any more. When my daighter was little I toldher all my basses, mandolins, hand drums and guitars would be hers after I pass away. After looking at all of it the she said" Daddy..When are you going to die?"

 

[HengistPod]

9 or 10 Thunderbirds (2 Gibsons - 1990 and 1991 ebonies - various types of Epiphone and a Tokai).

Epiphone Explorer

Epiphone SG-shaped thing

Schecter 5-string (why will no-one buy this horrid thing off me?)

Hohner Jack Custom headless

Steinberger Spirit

Half a dozen nameless things up in the attic.

[KevB]

Technically I have 5 but the cheapo semi acoustic is pretty much an ornament these days so realistically giggable basses, 4. Ric 4003 plus these fellas

Currently the P bass is in Eb tuning, the jazz is in Eb but with a dropped Db which leaves the tele bass and ric in normal tuning for jam sessions and any other music projects that might come up. The tele has flats on for thuddy stuff, the ric can do the twangy stuff.
