skankdelvar Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law". As for me - 1 P, 1 sorta-J and a Franken-P on loan to a mate. So hardly living the dream eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I think if you've got any basses just sat in a stand or case doing nothing, then you might as well sell it. I play all of my basses at least once a week, if I went weeks or months without even touching it then why have it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 [quote name='HeavyJay' post='529427' date='Jul 1 2009, 11:06 AM']If he goes with the testicle theory it would be like a bunch of grapes down there.[/quote] That's why I can't walk/sit down properly! More like three bunches of grapes! I'm of the opinion that if you want a bass, buy it! Sad thing is, I've been doing that on a regular basis over the last 25 years or so! I think I've owned around 150 basses since I started. Now if only I'd kept all of them...!!!! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I've decided I can't have too many, so long as they've all got a purpose. I'm on 5 at the moment, although 7 was the peak. I had a pile of [i]really[/i] cheap ones that weren't even worth selling, and a pair of [i]really[/i] nice Stingrays for gigging! Some swapping and changing later, and I think I'm at a pretty sensible point now. I have my Sandberg with flats for my old-school sounds, and a Stingray for rocking out. There's a modded Squier P and a modded Jazz copy that do as backups, or when I don't want to take the posh ones. The only one that's surplus is the T-40, got used heavily with a classic rock band I was temping for, but has been made redundant by the JM4 and will probably go soon, despite the fact I love it. I think if I'm missing anything, it's a really nice Precision, but I can live without it. I also fancy a dabble with fretless, just to see if I'd find a use for it, but I can't see myself needing anything more that I've already got if I'm honest.
