A list of nonsense

So, #2....

Well, guilty but with a caveat. I have:

A p-bass 4 string
A j-bass 5 string
A short scale 4
A u-bass
A double bass

Although obviously the DB is a different instrument, I think what I have are pretty different things. The short scale is a 4 string passive EB, yes, but it is miles away in tone and feel from the 4 string P. Same with the J. It really is a different monster than either of the 4 strings; the U-bass different from the 3 other electrics.

I have on my to-do (eventually) list a fretless and an acoustic; which I think I'll find as well are different from everything else too.

At least that's how I've talked myself into a 7- bass stable.
