Thanks for the clarification --
IF I remember correctly the 3 bass suggestion was in a educational book... let's agree that we get the essence of your suggestion.
(I"m depsarately trying to get my count below 12)

Ed's books are the best bang for the buck value out there, bar none. I learned so much from him.

Ed, you still have the gold Scheff? You're the only guy I know who plays one! And fairly well, I might add.
Ed:
In your first post to this thread you didn't mention Carvin, yet you play one on your Hal Leonard Bass Method DVD. Was that a paid plug?

Man that Scheff sounds AWESOME too!
I hear that Lakland is making drop-in ChiSonic pickups for the 55-01 and 44-01 series.
Makes me wanna look into buying one of those.
Okay, so this one has a few mods...
Sweet! I used to have one of those in the late 80s.
Regarding Carvins... I was an endorser for several years, so I made a point of using them in my videos. They were very good to me, it was the least I could do in return. I stopped my endorsement when I became Senior Editor of Bass Guitar mag, it wasn't politically correct. I still like their stuff, but I have gone back to my preference for bolt on necks.
I have not actually done any of the feats being attributed to me in this thread, though I did once kill a bear with my hands..... Oh, and I shot a man in Reno.... You know, just to watch him die.
This thread made me realize that I don't NEED anymore then 2 basses.
Main gigging bass, and a back up.
I really only play rock music live......I like to jam on oldies and classic rock at home......that's it!
I don't think that requires 6 basses!
For me, it's just GAS. plain and simple.

HA!
I really want to try out a Fender P5.....that really would allow me to sell a few basses in my collection.
or not.
The same way you should. Evaluate the tone, feel, weight, construction and price. If these factors meet your requirements it may be the bass for you.

Let me get this straight, you're not interesting in jamming on blues, country, jazz, reggae, honky tonk, or funk? There must be plenty that I left out...
blues maybe....but not really interested in the others right now.
I wouldn't know where to start with the others?
I hate island beats so raggae is out.
