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

[Runnerman]

I've been in the 5-9 category for a long time. I've reached the top of that range at 9 and stretching for number 10. I have had one of Bruce Johnson's AMB-2 scroll basses on order for some time. I think I'm getting closer in the queue...Bruce says maybe before the end of the year...depending on his health. For now the updated list is as follows:

2006 EBMM Bongo 4HH - black sapphire
1984 Peavey Fury- slant Super Ferrite, natural ash
1994 Peavey Fury - split p, white
1985 Peavey Foundation - natural ash
1994 Peavey Foundation - black
1985 Peavey Dynabass - metallic grey
1985 Peavey Patriot - black
1984 MIJ Squier - SQ serial number, black
2020 Carlo Robelli B325 Uke Bass

TOO MANY. I don't want to get rid of any of them though! (Except the Ovation I hardly play it..)
Left to Right: Mid 80's MIJ Precision. Mid 90's Ovation. VM70's body with 80's MIJ Jazz Special neck
Early 90's MIJ Jazz body with CV Jazz neck and 2012 LPB Precision with a MIJ Geddy Lee neck.

How's that Ovation?

Still the same for me over the last couple of years

1980 Precision
2008 EBMM Sterling
2017 Kiesel Vanquish 5-string

Still looking for that lottery ticket winner to add

Fodera Emperor 5
Sadowsky
Something acoustic
Mesa Subway WD-800 and a Subway 2x10.

I've added a Markbass LM250 and a GK 15" cab late last year. The GK is good for some of the songs we do, but a 2x10 would be better for the rest. Since the LM250, I've found out that I cannot live without a HPF and LPF.

I prefer to sculpt my tone with those then use the EQ.

Only two now, after buying/selling a dozen or so and building a few from parts.

1996/7 Yamaha RBX 250 (my first bass)
2019 Vintage V4 Reissued

 

[Volker Kirstein]

I'm holding steady at 16...

The fretless jazz has been sold, and a new Squier Mini P was added, so the total remains the same. I'm going to sell (or part out) the "Surf Green" PJ w/maple board soon, tho.

I'm also going to sell (or part out) the sunburst "modern" P. The sunburst "vintage" P is a keeper. The Yamaha stick has the pickup wired directly to a jack.

 

[LoveThatBass]

2013 Fender FSR Jazz (Hwy one neck)
2018 Fender Player P bass
2017 Fender American Pro Jazz
2015 ESP LTD 5E (5 string)

Hey there! Quick question: on the 2nd picture, the small bass at the top, is it one of the Fame models that used to be sold by MusicStore?
& if so, is it good? I sent them an email cuz i couldn't find any info on those, but they never got back to me...

It is indeed a Fame M-03, from Musicstore. I like it. The nut is 38mm, and string spacing at the bridge is 19 mm, so it feels like a very compressed jazz neck. It's tuned ADGC, and has that tubby shorty sound in spades.

Fanks! I read Ur NBD thread! How do U like it now? I see they're sold out on Music Store but not on amazon...

I like it just fine. I don't have much call to use it these days, and I'm not really playing it in practice, but every time I picked it up in the past, I enjoyed it. I didn't have any issues with the extreme short scale. The pickup makes a very convenient thumbrest. I haven't found strings for it, yet, so it still has the factory rounds. I really should bring it here and play it more.

Thanks for Ur reply... it's funny how little we can find online about these instruments... i'd love to have an inexpensive little travel bass...

Had to change my vote, #5 should be arriving in a week or two...

 

[Josh Pelican]

I am now down to three, but mostly play two.

Custom Atkinson "Pea" Bass, Ibanez SRMS805, and my trusty Yamaha RBX765A (my first big boy bass).

 

[Bleecker]

I just counted up and listed all my basses. Here's an overview.

22 electrics including, 2 fretless; 1 short scale; 1 five string
2 uprights, 1 aluminum, 1 wooden unplayable
1 ABG, Guild B-30

Cheers!

 

[rzamites]

I have 1 currently, my Peavey B-Ninety. I've got one being built for me, and after selling off a few guitars, will probably buy a Zemaitis. I don't anticipate owning more than those 3.

 

[Aldousv]

I am at my all-time highest of 4 but currently selling 2, wanting to stay at 2.

2001 Modulus VJ- Keeping
