How many basses a day do you play in an hour??

I'm confused. You're asking for:

(basses/day)/hours

Or, rearranging the equation:

basses/(hours * days)

Doing some unit conversions:
basses/(hours * 24 * hours)

which simplifies to:
basses/(24 * hours^2)

I can only conclude that you're asking for the rate of change of how often I switch basses, or d2​B/dT2​

Having just gotten a new bass, I can say that d2​B/dT2​ has been a positive quantity for me recently.
 
At least two, but I don't always get a full hour to play bass every day, so sometimes 1/4th. Other days, I get a few hours...should I count the times I switch basses, or only the total of different basses I play?
 
How many hours per bass? How many basses per day? How many hours per day per bass? Daylight savings time? If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half how long does it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

Expressed in SI units, what he's asking for is basses per seconds squared, or bass acceleration. What doesn't make sense about that? :help:
 
I have three basses with different scales. I usually practice on the 5-string because it has the longest scale length, which makes it much easier when I switch to the shorter scaled instruments. Weird, I know, but it works for me.
 
I'm with the OP, since i have all my basses together in a row i will usually play my main 2. Then when cooling down i like to play a similiar line on all 7 (plugged in one at a time) just to see how the playability and sound differs. Got to spread the love around.
