    Owning 5+ basses is like owning a dog

    I went through this same dilemma , and forced myself down to four. With the intention of eventually just having a special two. I’m not there yet, but am forcing myself to concentrate on more playing, and less hoarding. Good luck to you.

    Would you be offended if a band asked you to play a P bass?

    What difference does it make what your tool is, as long as it’s serving the music?

    But do I DESERVE a "nice" bass?

    A old boss of mine who was a SoCal beach bum for years, always told me, “ you can’t have too many Basses or surfboards.” Great advice to live by.

    Would this put you off as a buyer?

    Customer service is dead. It’s all about the hustle now, accept it, and move on to the next item.

    How do you describe your role when asked?

    I tell people my function is like the sky. The back drop for everything, but no one thinks about it much.

    Paul McCartney: How does he rank as a Bass Player?

    He plays exactly what the song needs to be effective, an art in itself which could use more practitioners.

    Killer Pawn Shop Find. Can't find much info!

    If the build quality, and electronics are top notch, it plays and feels wonderful, sounds great? Who cares who made it, great sound should not be a popularity contest.
