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

[Fairmont]

13…

You have to sell one or buy another. Number thirteen and all. Probably best to go with the second option.

Carvin LB-76F six string fretless.
Ibanez SRFF806 Six string multiscale.
Homemade 4 string bound n beveled Black Limba Ricky 4001.

25 is on the way

 

[CallMeAl]

Just added my 4th. I told myself I’d sell one but the cheap one probably isn’t worth selling.

Old stable: Parts Precision, Dean Acoustic, Peavey J-esque

And the new guy: SB2 Tribute

I may have a problem, you guys

Wow that SB-2 looks great in all black!

Wow that SB-2 looks great in all black!

Thanks! I don’t know if I’d have picked black-on-black but it was used, and it’s really grown on me. Very classy.

it’s actually black sparkle!

 

[Basta-bass]

I own 1 less than last week.
Some son of a b.i.t.c.h entered my house and stole my acoustic bass!
At least, stupid a.s.s.h.o.l.e took the 300€ Tanglewood and left the 3000€ Sadowsky.

 

[asparaguspee]

Now I have 7, which is nuts since I've only been playing for 1 year. Really need to seek help on this addiction.
On the plus side I usually pick up at least 2 of them per day.

 

[scott sinner]

Moved the G&L and replaced it with a BSX Allegra Hollow body 5 string EUB. Wife thinks I'm nuts. She's seldom wrong...

I would love to hear some clips of the BSX.

I spent a *long* time with a bass or two. The number has steadily been increasing, as my failed attempt at flipping turned into just buying gear.

I realized how out of hand things had gotten when I had to expand into a closet in a second room to handle everything.

…. But what I realize is that i have 2 danelectros, 2 Ibanez BTB’s, and 4 different p bass type instruments. And I am somehow lacking a Stingray, and there’s no Jazz in sight. So I’ll probably end up reducing the overall size of my collection to get a slightly better variety of instruments on hand.

I have to say the Ibanez Musician I got in the 1990s has been one of my best investments. It has really kept me from buying or not flipping other basses hundreds of times.

I really enjoy the repairs, renovations of abused instruments. That has always been my MO. I find a good instrument in bad shape and fix them up. But even where I can always get them to good action, etc. that Ibanez is ridiculous, like sub 1mm to 1.25 action without too much buzzing.

But Ive steadily added some as Ive been filling different genres roles here and there through some collaborations.

So currently:
1980s Ibanez Musician
BSX electric upright
2 Warwick Corvettes, fretted $$ and fretless standard
2 Reverends, Thundergun and Mercalli
A rescue Fender Jazz Bass, but I am probably Warmothing it.

At least he/she doesn't seem to be a bass player.

[ghorvers]

3 up from 2, looking at acquiring no.4, so might just reach 5 in 2022..

 

[Harold Runyan]

Added this Fender Bass Noir to the stable yesterday. Moved the BSX Upright, it is an outstanding instrument but I didn't play it and it didn't appear I was going to, so...
