Which famous bassist do you think has the worst case of GAS?

The title says it all.

The two that come to mind are
1. John Entwistle


2. Tom Hamilton


Am I missing anyone?

I would guess Tom Petersson has quite the arsenal.

Well, I admire people like Sir Paul, Geddy, Harris & Squire for their lack of GAS. They could easily have 100+ basses.

Maurice Fitzgerald has something different everytime I see him. He either has G.A.S or doesen't really care what he plays.

Bootsy Collins. His stage setup is massive! I think there is at least a million speakers on stage at any one time when he plays.

Bootsy has a RIDICULOUS number of amps, and not to mention all the different signature basses....

I would say PJ, who plays the bass in a brazilian band called Jota Quest. Dude's got over 50 basses, including Kent Armstrong, Fodera, Music Man, Fender, Aria...

I know everyone hates him here but Fieldy from Korn back in the late 90's had a massive stage setup, but then again the band was in the guiness book for band with largest sound system. Dunno about basses but he has GAS for cabs.
