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

[buzzbass]

Last week's most recent family pic. I'm a very lucky bass player. Especially since my GF seems to dig my habit too. At least 3 of these have come from her, unprompted, in the last 3-4 years

You are a lucky man if your GF shares your obsession.

I’m holding steady at three -

Zon Sonus Custom 5 fretted
Zon Sonus 5 fretless
J-bass (4)

Been pondering getting a 6 tho

Had a rare opportunity to take a family photo and still missing three from it (two being worked on and forgot one in its case).

I have a Reverend Thundergun, root beer Wattplower 2 and a Sterling Ray35, which has been gutted and is gonna be insane. Might sell the Watt. Thundergun is having its nut replaced.

I've recently decided to sell my upright, so that'll put me down to three: the two in my profile picture, and a third that doesn't get much play but has some sentimental value. However, I'm considering selling that last one at some point, so I may be checking back to update my answer to two.

A Mike Lull PJ5 and a Sadowsky Metro RV5 Jazz.

The P bass has been my #1 for 10 years and the Jazz joined it as joint #1 6 years ago.

I still keep an eye on the market, but I haven't found anything to topple these two from their special place in my musical life.

the differences between this life and the marriage I left are staggering at times. like I said, I'm lucky. It's a whole made for TV story too, LOL. Dated for 2 years 40 years ago and reconnected on a 1 in a million chance almost 5 years ago

I have a Sonus Fretted 5 too. Awesome basses. Had mine 22 years already, wow.

 

[DOMIT]

I just worked a deal for a 3rd B.C. Rich, and this one is a U.S. series... I don't have it in my grubby little hands yet, but it's a rather rare item. I'm stoked!

 

[pablohonig]

Currently I have one Peavey Cirrus USA 4 which will need to go on the auction block, as in the coming 12 months I'll be a father to a Serek 4/30.5 and a Skjold 4/33.

 

[Greg Waldon]

I am back down to 2. I got rid of a couple that wasn't being played. I am down to a pawn shop special Squier Affinity PJ that cost me $40 and I just acquired a closet queen Toby Deluxe IV in Trans Amber. Plays and sounds fantastic. I think it is a keeper.

 

[fretno]

So the flats on a J turned out to be awesome. Gonna roll with them for awhile.

I've been filtering through my basses for the last months & it's going a little better than expected. Here's a list of all the basses i had in recent times:

Squier J bass affinity - modded with a push pull for series/parallel switching. Sold to a friend of mine who needed a bass of his own.
Eastwood Precision bass Copy - countless mods/fixes to it, main studio bass, owned since 2009.
Parts off white precision bass - Duncan hot for P pups, high mass bridge, fender cbs keys. Main Bass since 2013.
Squier Precision bass special - pieced together & modded. Considering handing this one over to my drummer.
Epiphone Thunderbird Goth - gutted, modified. Will most likely be given to a friend who's mixing my band's album.
Dan armstrong plexi copy bass - I built a short scale neck for it, & am moding the body slightly. Perhaps handing it over to my good friend Jay.
P/J thunderbird - Home built, single killswitch, emg active pups, reverse split p pup.
Ripper bass replica - home built, Wilde L90 pickups, bolt on construction.
Eb-2D bass replica - home built, set neck, flat top semi hollow bass. inspired by Eb-2D & hagstrom viking. Guitar blade humbuckers. 32" scale
SuperNova bass - Home built, vintage 60's Ibanez short scale neck. Painted by my best friend, Tv jones power'tron pickup direct wired to output
Trip Bass VI - Home built, 30" scale, guitar humbucker wired to a 3 way voice selector for bass boost, standard, bass cut. Labella 26-95 round
Maya Grabber copy - found used in a defunct shop 2 years ago, original case. Natural finish
Tele bass - Home built, using old parts around home that i collected. Gave it to my Green day tribute's guitarist, Jeff. White finish, maple neck.
Grabber G3 replica - home built, 3 jazz bass pickups, yellow stained, wooden pickguard, Will be given to Jeff.
Fiesta Precision bass copy - given to me by a friend, who didn't want to keep it. Single mini bucker pickup. Swapped old parts, will pass it on to another friend of mine who's looking for a bass.
Logical RIC bass - Copy, mod with push-pull for modern/vintage circuit.
Ibanez GaxB - second bass ever owned when i was a kid. 32" scale, great noodling bass.
Active offset Pbass - home built, active circuit based off the yamaha bb1200s & built by a former work collegue (who also built my op-amp muff fuzz).

Pretty extensive list, those in bold are the ones that are either given/sold to people i know that can use them more than I do. Though i still get to play em here & there from 18 total, down to 11. Pretty decent, considering i've got 6 guitars along with this.

Three Years down the line almost & As of Now, i currently own 15 basses (eight of which i built myself). Will be in the works of building two others sometime this year.

There's a couple from the list above that i ended up giving as intended:
- The Squier precision special P/J resides with my drummer.
- The Grabber G3 replica is now owned by Jeff, my former Green Day tribute bandmate.

I kept the dan armstrong plexiglass bass & the epiphone thunderbird goth. Plan on keeping them around anyways.

Currently have no plans on delegating/selling any of my currents, mainly cause they all play & sound vastly different from one another (some have sentimental value). If comes a time where i truly don't need one (or mutliples), then so be it x)

Seems I’m up to 20 now. I’m not sure when or how this happened, but it did. I probably need to sell a few one of these days.

Wow, last time I voted here was 4, I have no idea when, probably a long long time ago, now it's 8

 

[TheBass]

Last time it was 17, now it's 16. I am working to get it down to 14 but their total value got higher. Sold a SBMM Stingray and replaced an EBMM Sterling 5H with a Warwick Infinity Masterbuild.
