So, it looks like it's around a 60/40 split on the spare bass. (60% do/40% don't). No surprise here. We're all independent people who do things the way we each think they should be done. I believe there's no right or wrong answer here. The good news: We're all bass players who love what...
Oh, and I do have a Squire 5-string I use at church (for that big booming B string), but when I play out at gigs, I take my only my favorite bass: my Rick! (smile)
I've been playing for 40 years and have never taken 2 basses to a gig! I also have never had a bass die on me. In the old days, occasionally an amp would die though. What were you supposed to do... lug around 2 bass amps? Naw, I didn't think so. In the modern era, now most of us use DIs...
OK guys, I am about to try to make this mod on my brand new 2018 Ric that hums real loud, just like the older models. Will report back later with the results.

Next day I...
I was at a show tonight watching a really good local band in Dayton, OH, play, and the bass man was playing a beautiful thru neck 6 string that had a single letter H on the head. Anyone know what manufacturer this is?
Thanks guys.
After going through a lot of combos and cheap stacks, that ultimately failed at the most critical times (live on-stage gigs), I finally switched to the MarkBass line of equipment. Got the MarkBass Little Mark Tube 800 plus two cabs: a 4x10 and a 1x15 (bought the gear new at Guitar Center)...
