How many basses do you own? (Currently) Part 2

[Barticus]

here's my collection:

1. late 90's MIM Jazz bass, purple
   
2. '63 Fender Precision candy apple red
3. Sadowsky 5-string, tobacco sunburst, active electronics
4. Sadowsky 4-string Black, active electronics
5. Fender Jazz Fretless, EMG active pickups
6. Pedulla 8-string fretless, green
7. Yamaha 5-string acoustic fretless, black
8. Hofner 500-1 left handed "Beatle Bass"
9. APX 4-string
10. C.F.Martin 4-string acoustic
11. Spector 4-string, blue
12. Hamer 12-string, black

unfortunately, only the first one is an actually bass. The other 11 belong to Will Lee and were sampled by him for the Sampleheads CD-ROM, The Will Lee Bass library

I use the CD-ROM with an Akai S2800 and although they do provide some nice bass lines for recordings and sequences, it is just not the real thing now, is it.

My respect for the bass player and what he/she brings to the music was never anything but robust but still it grows every day

Well, like they say - with no pictures, it didn't happen

I got number 16 today
It arrived from Germany and amazingly it was in tune! It sounds great it is a HB-450 progressive series in White it is both passive and active so the best of both worlds in one bass

i own about 2 to many, which is around 6. Although, if I was wealthy I'd be a true collector and builder.

Love the bass, but that pedestal is killer! Love it.

Did you notice that a third of respondents to the poll have 5 or more? "Up next, a special bass guitar edition of Hoarders..."

That is precisely what this is for: Bass Hoarding Personality Disorder (BHPD) - You are not alone.

Nice collection!
I’m guessing the BC Rich basses didn’t originally come with that color scheme? Who custom painted them?
Nice display too!
What’s the GN finished one next to the paisley Fender? I’m drool over that one.
Looks like you got an electric mandolin hiding back there too!

Thanks! The Mando I picked up at a yard sale for 3 bucks! Only needed a little repair -it’s the same brand and year John Paul Jones played on stage with LZ!
A drummer friend of mine did the custom painting -he normally paints bikes ...
The GN one? Do you mean the Gibson one? Or?

Looks like a dollar sign $ on the headstock?

I’m getting the feeling that, now this is just a hunch, that you kind of like Ibby’s, but I could be mistaken...just sayin’....
