My herd has grown to 6 basses. I will have to redo the family pics, sigh.

I may sell one or two of them next year.

After buying the Fakenbacker I am pretty sure I will sell the Jazz, I dont have enough room for three basses.

I've been at a pretty stable 3 1/2 basses the last few years.

My '62 AVRI, purchased new in '09. I like to change it up and play it nude (pictured) to full mutes with ashtrays.

The white J is an '09 Affinity purchased from the pawn shop about 5 years ago. Originally black, my fretless neck spends most of its time on this one. I tend to burn through P basses, just picked up this '89 Korean Squire for $60. got a half a dozen gigs on it and may keep it for a while.

 

[Camarillo]

I reached number 6, so now I am in the majority!

'91 Fender Jazz MIM
'?? Epiphone Rumblekat Allen Woody Signature
'91 Fender Precision MIJ
'96 Squier Precision V Pro Tone CIK
'15 SX SPJ-62
'15 G&L L2500 Tribute

I went from 5 to 3. Dumped the Ric and 04 MIA P.
Down to:
'79 Fender P -- My main bass, maple/burst. The clear coat is now rubbing right off.. talk about road worn!
'04 MM5 Stingray -- Love it, but my cover band plays 1/2 down and the B sounds like crap.. ;(
'04 MIM Fender J -- heavily modified, nothing Fender left but the wood... never play it but sounds/feels great!

[Rabidhamster]

two and a half.

 

[Green Lantern]

I own a Fender Jazz 5 string bass which is made overseas, and has active electronics. It's nice but the electronics are a little noisy

Looking at either buying a new American Jazz bass or save more money and buy the Elite

 

[Rabidhamster]

"too many to count" is a misleading vote. If a significant other was in the room, 4 is too many to count.

 

[twinjet]

Fender USA Std Precision bass
Ibanez SR305F (fretless)

Almost a year later and both of these are gone.

New fleet consists of:

1987 US G&L L-2000 Bass; main


2012 Squier Jazz Bass; beater

 

[StillSour]

I have 3 basses. I also have 3 electric guitars, an acoustic, a uke and a Syrian fish skin hand drum.
