I got it down from six or seven to four Warmoth J's. Then it started to grow again. I added a Breedlove acoustic-electric and then built a thing I call the Ptcoustic which was inspired by the Turner Model One.

Same with pedals. Got rid of them all and then added a Radial JDI which I later gave to my son, a Noble DI, Markbass Compressore, Empress ParaEq and Broughton HPF/LPF. The Noble and Compressore are here to stay. Not so sure on the Empress and Broughton - I have EQ out the wazoo even without those.

Ptcoustic Prototype - Doner Designs

Welp.... I got another guitar stand and reorganized my office/studio a little bit.... Currently sitting at 41.5 basses (1.5 being unfinished, have a J body and a Build-a-bass kit) and two guitars... Total count including ones en route is approaching 50.

Office all cleaned up and ready for todays videos.
Guitar rack in left closet is my project basses/ones I'm fixing, and some others.

Left closet: Kala U-bass Journeyman, MIM P-bass, Lightwave Saber 4, Lace Helix 5, Warmoth Tele, Fender Strat

Guitar rack by the window is the cheapies shelf.
Window shelf: Warwick Rockbass Alien 4, old Ibanez SR400, Grassroots Beatle bass project, Dean Zone Custom 4 (for a green screen project lol), Sterling Ray4, Hardluck Kings Bombshell, Fretking Esprit I (not a cheapie, but getting it exchanged, no need to go into details here), AIO TB4 Tele bass, Dearmond Pilot 6.

The wall + mystery case (unbagging video dropping later today... yes I know it's not in a bag).
Wall: Ibanez AFR105, Rickenbacker 4003SW, FGN Mighty Jazz DE 4, Conklin GTRP-4, Status Electro II Fretless, EBMM Stingray 4H, Epiphone Jack Casady (review coming very soon).

Also, there's a J body for a future project video leaning on the amp behind the case (that's the half a bass). The amp behind the sticker bombed case is an Orange CR50BXT which I use in my videos.

I'm looking forward to the review of the Harley Benton RB-414BK. I'm really curious about that bass. How close can it get to that Rick tone?

Same! They look really nice, and my friend who had ordered from Thomann too said it's best to get a few things to spread out the international shipping cost. ETA is 8 weeks because I bundled it with the Sadowsky.
