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

[Brad Maestas]

After a bit of a hiatus playing other instruments and having a job that kept me far too busy, I have finally returned to recording and playing out at least 3 times a week.

I have been using a Sadowsky NYC 24-5 P/J as my main bass since 2006. I've also had my upright since 1998. I used to have up to ten basses and ten guitars plus drums and other things but pared way down when I moved to NYC, as one does. While in NY I sold everything off expect for my upright and the Sadowsky.

I started getting back into it by doing some recording with friends here and remotely across the country as well as some local studios. I wanted a nice tone bed to start with so I got a Fender Precision and Jazz again. Then this week I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of a custom Fodera Imperial Elite MG 5 from Bass San Diego. Now I have six including the upright. Interesting after having only one electric for over ten years!

3 are now situated nicely in my stable, and most likely are staying for good. I'd love to add a PJ with rounds, and I'd be good for all my needs.

2008 Fender Highway One (EMG GZR) with La Bella 760FS flatwounds
2010 EBMM Stingray (2 band) with EB Group III flatwounds
2004(?) EBMM MIJ Kanda Shokai Stingray (3 band) with EB Super Slinky rounds

 

[Chrisenbacker69]

2010 Rickenbacker 4001 C64S in Maple Glo with La Bella Flats
2012 Dean EAB electric/acoustic bass
2018 Fender FSR MIJ Traditional 60s Precision Bass Midnight D'Addario with EXL170 Nickel Rounds

I am now up to four. I don't play all of them often, but I don't want to sell any either

82/83 Neck on 85ish MIJ Precision Black with Rosewood.

MIJ Geddy neck Maple on a 2012 Lake Placid Blue Precision

09 CV Jazz neck on a Squire CV 60's P Body Black on black with Rosewood. This one has an amazing EMG passive pickup on it.

90's Ovation Acoustic three tone sunburst with Rosewood.

I like that term. Once the kids move out of the house and I get to put my stuff back in the basement, I will have to use that term. Right now I suppose I’m a Spare Bedroom Bassist.

Jenny - Harley Benton Shorty P w/Fender Himass Bridge. No pickguard. (growls like an old Fender!)

Ivy - Unknown make J in dark green. (smooth as butter)

Monica - J & D PB in sunburst (sounds a bit thin)

Katherine - Harley Benton Vintage series PB50 in sunburst (nice sound, thick neck)

Svetlana - Black Hawk P, under reconstruction as Shorty with flipped lefty neck. (no clue to sound yet)

Veronica - Demavery PJ in Seafoam Green. (utter crap except for the neck)

Bertha - Pasadena Headless in black. Not Steinberger. (bridge is crap. sounds so so.)

Number 7 - Migma Elektra DDR in blue sparkle linoleum. Undergoing "restoration".

FUTURE: (next 30 days)

Yamaha "Stick" - already reserved

Unknown violin beast - under negotiations

Taurus "Acrylic" - not reserved, but odds are good.

Counting the SUB I keep at our rehearsal spot, I think that's 15. Some of these are on the block or already sold, so that should change soon!

[Muddslide]

Still holding at one. Been playing since 1978 and at times have owned many simultaneously, but y'know...life.

Really considering getting either an early 80s MIJ Squier P or a new Fender Player Series P.

I seriously miss having a P.
