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

[Yrrep]

Went through bass after bass until I went boutique and that's I need,does it all,night after night...plus you save on strings lol!

 

[revd]

I only own one but of course, would love to buy another one day. Don't think my better half would understand.

Our kid would though. We were watching a bassist on YT, playing a Stingray. Mine's a P Bass. My daughter said "That's a different bass to your isn't it? It sounds different". Good ears!

I must say you’ve done a great job photographing your basses! What exactly is that Ibanez? Really looks nice!

I'm at 4 now with recent Mickro and one not in use an old FB by Aria Pro II. The one I'm using more is the Maruszczyck Elwood 4 Yamaha A2 is in his bag waiting gigs after Coronavirus and the Steinberger Spirit is in exchange for another kind of bass.

 

[rfclef]

6 bass guitars
1 bass ukulele
1 bass banjo.

 

[mickbellinello]

Ibanez Sr305 with nordy ‘s big blades pickup (i also oil refinish the neck)
Ibanez Atk 800 with nordy’s pickups too and nordy’s 3b preamp
Ibanez Gsr200 fretless.. nordy’s even on this bass.

I have gone through a number of basses over the years, but always one at a time . . . until now. FedEx has possession of my first EBMM -- a Stingray Special. It will join my Fender American Pro Jazz Bass, hopefully, this weekend.

 

[giampaolo]

at the moment 5 basses and an electric d bass :
2 fender precision,
1 fender jazz,
2 MM stingray

 

[Paul J]

Mine...
2002 Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo (love this thing)
2008 Epiphone Explorer Bass (so underrated, but brilliant bass)
2017 Yamaha 1004J (punches way above its weight)
Knackered but great sounding Squire Jazz
1978 Gibson RD Artist (awesome bass)
PJ would be the next addition

 

[mikewalker]

Peaked at 24 recently, but thinning the herd nicely! Just three or four more to sell, two to finish building, and one order to arrive from overseas (still a work-in-progress) - and then I'm set for the rest of this decade, I hope...

I'm aiming for my local line up of bass guitars to look like:
1) 'main squeeze' short-scale 4-string fretted with roundwounds (*on order)
2) short-scale 4-string fretted with flatwounds (*under construction here)
3) 'guest' Long scale fretted with flats (*P-bass, have it now)
4) 'guest' Lefty Long scale fretless five string with rounds (*under construction here)
5) ... "something with tapewounds" (*maybe something I have now, maybe something new...)

Two right now: a Fender Jazz and a MM StingRay.

The Ray went through a pretty gnarly car accident with me. Although it gained some battle scares it functions just fine. However, I never use it anymore and I don’t have the nerve to sell it.

The jazz is a keeper and is a great overall bass but I do think I might try to add something a little different to mix things up. The Fodera Monarch Standards currently catch my eye but that’s an investment.

 

[gigetto]

I don't need no more bass I've 4 but I'm intrigue of one more...or one different exchanging something...

 

[bmusic]

73 P
74 P
76 Mustang
06(ish) MIJ Mustang
65 Starfire
91(ish) Höfner RI
18 Ric 4001S
Aerodyne Jazz
Epiphone EB-0

Dammit...now I'm thinking if I get one more I can change my vote...
(when really, I'd be pretty satisfied with one P and one Mustang)

 

[Kaa]

I am now at two.

 

[marsquake]

I've never owned more that 2 at a time.
Right now I have 2 still.
Spector Euro4LX
MusicMan SUB

 

[equalizin]

3 now. MIM 50s P, MIA PJ, Spector Coda 5. I'm pretty happy with these so far so I dont see adding anymore. Its all amp money now.

 

[gigetto]

ATTENTION!!!!

I am now at two.

The right number is 3 a PJ bass, A HH bass and a short scale or a fretless

 

[Gary Stevens]

I've got 10. 5 keepers. All keepers are GS Custom 30.5" scale. A PJ downtuned for Stevie Ray, A PBass, one with Duncan early 50s tele bass single coil, one with Duncan Ricky neck pickup and one with a gorgeous, old, totally black ebony fretless board and jbass pickup. With these 5, I've got the bases covered. The other 5 are up for sale. I will be posting them here very soon
