Hello I own 4 basses Fender New american Standard Precision 2009 Olympic White My first "serious" bass, a damn good instrument Fender New american Standard Jazzbass 2010 Sunburst A long time dream, I don't play it but i like the idea to own one. Its more a fantasm come true than anything else Fender Precision 51 reissue MIJ 2006 sunburst By far my favorite, I love its neck, its look, its sound Takamine EG512 acoustic bass Great bass to play at home without any amplification system or in the garden. But not really usable without amplification with other players Luc
I've got too many. 2 Rickys 2 Statuses (Statii) 1 fretless Precision partscaster 1 Chinese cheapie which isn't bad 1 RPG (a shop which used to be in the Midlands) doubleneck I just sold a Horner cheapie.
I own a humble Squier VM Jazz and a GRS205 that I recently turned into a fretless. They get the job done. *shrugs*
Damn. I can remember when I "needed one bass" and only one. Maybe also a backup. Right. I now have 5. Although the fifth bass was a garage sale "find" for $20 and was in horrendous shape. Even after fixing her up, she's barely playable. The next was so warped that, while we were able to get the action on the low-end to a good place, the action higher up on the neck is so high it's ridiculous. So, it may lose it's bass-ness and wind up as a piece of furniture or a shelf or something. But, yeah, technically I have 5 basses, now.
For about a year I've held steady at four, which is down from my high of seven in 2008. The herd might creep up to five or six this year, but I'd like a regularly-gigging band first!

G&L USA SB-2, 2007, Vintage White/rosewood/tort, tone control added. 3. G&L USA JB, 2010, Midnight Blue/rosewood/white pearl guard/painted headstock, Lace Sensor Man O' War pickups. 4. G&L USA M-2500, 2014, Ruby Red Metallic/rosewood, quartersawn neck.
