How many basses do you own.

[Stu-khag]

Down to 1 again, My mex Fender Jazz.
had a Hamer cruise bass and cheapo acoustic but sold em as they were surplus to requirements.

[Lfalex v1.1]

[quote name='paul, the' post='60140' date='Sep 13 2007, 09:02 PM']How's the Ovation? I'm very drawn to them and wouldn't e suprised if it were my only horizontal in the future.[/quote]

Fine. Still going strong after a decade.
With the usual Electro Acoustic moans about lack of volume and willingness to feedback in loud environments aside!

And I'm now minus the Ergodyne. I dropped it. It broke. Luthite is not very impact resistant. The whole control cavity sheared off and busted the circuit board, too... Beyond economic repair. Especially after I kicked it (in annoyance) and broke the neck so badly that you could pull the truss-rod out. It lost half its frets too.
Luthite bodies - Beware impacts
Ibanez necks - Beware Sheehan neck-bends (or my feet of fury)

[The Burpster]

Im currently at 6 but would prefer to be 4 PRSs ( I will be one day!) and an EUB.

[Mickeyboro]

Acoustic (gigged twice)
Fretless (never gigged)
Fretted (all but two!)

[RayFW]

Lakland DJ4 with J Retro (my no. 1)
Fender 08 USA P
Fender Reggie Hamilton Jazz
Squier VMJ with Wizard 64s
Cairnes / Satterley Stingray
SX P Copy Fretless
Hohner HP P copy (my first "proper" bass which I will never get rid of)

[bluesparky]

5, and that's all i need, isn't it? hmm, you've got me thinking now!!!
As well as the ones listed below i've got a no-name precisiony cheap thing at my mum's, in case i go home for a weekend and don't take one with me!!

[BigRedX]

Added another 11 since my original post:

Born To Rock F4b
Gus G3 5 Active
Hartke XL-4
Kramer 450B
Lace Helix Fretless 5
Manne Piccolo Bass
Overwater Original Fretless 5 Extra Long Scale (the first 5-string Extra Long Scale Overwater bass made according to Chris May)
Reverend Rumblefish 5L
Sei Flamboyant Fretless 5
Switch Innovo
Tokai Talbo B-135

plus a Stagg EUB

and I sold the Squier VMFJ

So the total is now 26 Basses, 7 Guitars, 1 EUB, and 2 MIDI controllers.

It's nice to see I'm nowhere near alone in the 8+ category. Five Tsais, two Warwicks, a Hohner Jack, a Jerry Atrics twin neck, a 5-stringed 4-string P-frankenbass, an acoustic 4-string fretted, a project bass I got off the dontcarebear a while ago, and an NS WAV-4. I think that's it.

[Bullet-Rule]

Just the two, crappy Hartke first bass and my Spector Legend 4. I'm thinking about going for an American Fender Jazz or a Geddy Lee. A Lakland 55-01 perhaps too..

[Jarhead]

2, my Fender MIM Jazz, and the Encore P bass knockoff I started on.

[kdphysio]

I'm now down to one (!!!!)...... Jazz.

Got rid of my Sterling & Precision, but now GASing for a Sandberg!!

....oh, & if santa thinks i've been a good boy, i'd like a nice Westone Thunder One (my first bass 25 years ago).

Edited December 9, 2008 by kdphysio

[KennysFord]

Down to three now.
1 The Spunkster
2 MM Sterling
3 1980 Ibby Blazer

and no G.A.S as anywhere.

[aceuggy]

Only the one bass at the moment, my Squier 60's Classic Vibe Jazz. But hope to get a Fender Highway 1 Precision in the new year as well. Also own a Tanglewood acoustic guitar.

[thisnameistaken]

Currently two:

'91 Warwick Thumb
'94 Stingray fretless

But I would like two more: A fretless with a neck pup which I'd string with flats (a Ric would be ideal) and a fretted 5, ideally another '91 Thumb. And a P bass would be nice too, for those "let's thrash through some old post-punk numbers" moments.
