You mean like somewhere that you're not allowed to do certain things, like mix with other people, travel to other countries, perform live music or entertainment, criticise the authorities, go shopping for pleasure, visit other parts of your own country, spend time with family, protest against perceived injustice etc. ? Ah! It's hard to imagine somewhere like that from our privileged position. 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Easy. The one I use. I've got another one on the wall looking pretty, and another one in a case under the bed gathering dust. I've never really understood the point in owning loads of basses. I get it if you're a session musician or doing some recording. But for most pub band type players, who wants to cart loads of basses to a gig and faff about changing every other song? One bass for both practicing and gigging. Job done. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I know a guy, and this will stretch if not beggar belief, who not only goes to gigs with his solitary instrument (no back up bass, no spare amp or cables) but actually sold his bass at the start of lockdown because he wouldn't need it for a while.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day musicians didn't carry spares or backups, well, I didn't know anyone who did, we couldn't afford to. No one had any money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I didn't originally because I was a kid and only had one guitar. But the first time I was left high and dry at a gig by faulty gear was the last time. Edited February 4, 2021 by stewblack 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call Stew, same for me, first time my lone bass failed at a gig was the last time I only took one bass to a gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 My L2000 covers the most ground of the basses I own, so thats the one Id go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I didn't even own 2 basses until I'd been playing nearly 40 years. My owning 2 basses actually predates joining Basschat, but this place certainly makes it easier to own more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's far, far more interest in the gear forums than there is in any of the forums dealing with actual music, playing, or technique. Quite sad really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying gear is quick and easy and independent of ability. Actually playing and improving is a different thing entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
