Brand loyal collections

[Tj smith]

Is anyone else brand loyal with their collections? I personally love ebmm. I have a 2 stingray 4h, 1 stingray 5h, 1 slo special, 2 sterling 4h and 1 sterling classic.

All Martin all the time...on guitars. J12-40, J-1, J-15, Grand J-35, B-1, J12-16

Except on basses...two of them are not Martins.

A few years ago, I had 3 Mike Lulls and 2 Stingrays at one time. But for some reason I can’t figure out, I started feeling all practical and grown-up and stuff. So I sold all but one of them, my heart & soul forever bass, my 2018 Lull Jazz-style bass.

Since then, I bought a Stingray Special. And I’ve come across several deals on Lulls and Stingrays. But each time, I was able to step back, take a breath, and tuck my GAS away. After about 24 hours, the urge to splurge subsides….

Well, kinda….

Mmmm, kinda. I just appreciate good value instruments.

G&L

My current collection has two Gold Tones, two Ken Bebensees (I've had three others previously), a Tiny Boy which I may get their Jazz style uke if they make it lefty, a Kala which I may get another if they make it fretless and a Lignum which I may get another in 6 string. I've also had several Status Graphites which were marvelous basses.

I'm a huge Fender fanboi as I have 4 Jazz and 4 Precisions as well as a Fender acoustic/electric bass.... and the Leo train keeps rolling as I also have 2 MusicMan Stingrays AND a G&L L1000 and L2000 (both USA models). I do like and appreciate other manufacturers though.

For basses, I'm down to one Franken-P, the rest are all Ibanez basses. Not really "brand loyal", just kinda happens that way lol

 

[SharpCat]

Nope. I was just telling someone I subscribe to the Pokemon bass theory. “Gotta catch ‘em all!”

Waiting for @VeryTallBassist and his awesome Spector collection

I didn't plan it this way, but I guess I am somewhat brand loyal. I have three Godin basses and two parts basses made with Warmoth bodies and necks. I don't really shop around for basses anymore, except to search for Godin basses every now and then on kijiji or Reverb to see if there are any intriguing deals out there. And if/when I assemble another parts bass, I cannot imagine going anywhere other than Warmoth for the body and neck.

That's an expensive brand to be loyal to . I've always wanted a Cora in white and gold though.

Don't make me get a third Vigier

 

[Relsom]

You didn't specify what kind of collection, just if there's a brand loyalty....

Only partially... four out of my six basses are Carvin/Kiesel, as well as two out of my three electric guitars. Now that I think about it, it is kinda funny that the ratio is the same on both, and I also have a Fender as an exception on both (with a Zon bass rounding out the group).

Not "brand loyal" in the sense that I buy only EBMM but I love Stingrays, and I have 5 of them... AND some Fender basses.

 

[PennyroyalWe]

Not completely, but mostly, Squiers in my house.

Ask if there's brand loyalty on a gear forum

I've ended up with a lot of fender, but that's mainly because I'm old and they were the only real pro option when I started playing out. I have zero loyalty to any private equity brand. My current favorite player is an Ibanez when I need bass guitar.
