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

[squarepeg]

Yeah, yeah, that's what we all said at your stage.... doesn't work, believe me.

I know, I just can't resist a pretty bass.

In that case be my guest to join us at our BHPD thread.

My current 4 basses. All 30.5" scale to fit my average sized hands. I have 2 more on the drawing board. A semi-holliw ric330 and a 30.5" scale travel bass that will fit in a strat case.

You mean, at this moment?

4x4 (4 and 5s) but local dealer has two others I'm looking at and Santa cheaped out, so
I may go shopping at any time...who am I kidding...I may go bass shopping at any time.

Wife hasn't left me yet and I already belong to one 12 step program...so.

More than 2-3 is expensive in strings rotation.....very expensive, a mounted string last at least no more than 1 year, with 20 a strings capital....

Are you kidding? My Peavey T-20FL is now 35 years old, changed the strings in the first year and they are still on it, keeps tuning fabulously (6-10 months without touching) and still sounds the same. Ok I don't do gigs and no rough stuff, but only one year? I'd have to disagree with that.

 

[LeviMorrison]

Just got my 4th bass today.. yay, I am catching up to some of you..lol
And I am still amateur, although I can play a few more good tunes now (Gary Moore "Midnight Blues", Stevie Ray Vaughn "Crossfire") I am up to being able to play 5-7 songs from memory. Lol, got a long way to go, but beginners luck. lol

I must say that is crazy with all the PEavey bases you own.I do know Peavey has great Quality for their price. I am not one to talk because I have six bass amps and seven bases. I am not worthy of having all that

That post is almost six years old. The only bass I still have on that entire list is the Mike Lull M5V. Pared down my entire collection from 26 to 6.

 

[gzarruk]

The max. I've had at the same time have been 3, but I currently own these 2 only:
- Ibanez SR 506M
- Yamaha TRB 1005

Both of these cover most of my needs as a bassist, but I'm guilty of planning on getting another one sometime this year, because of G.A.S.
