And then there were two!

Schecter Raiden Special-4 Rotosound BS66 Billy Sheehan Swing Bass Steels (EADG) Owned since July 2014
Ibanez AEB5E Acoustic bass Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky Flatwounds (EADG) Owned since December 2012

I'm a happy man. No desire to add another bass. For now.

I'm really going to give this whole "contentment" thing a go. That, and I've got credit cards and student loans to pay off first. And I have three kids in a single-income household. It's really the American dream :D

I hear you hahaha! I also have 3 kids in an essentially single-income household (I freelance, and for a while it wasn’t pretty) in Manhattan. Fun times.

Since I sold the Jag in my avatar yesterday, I also have two:
My working bass, a Sterling Stingray short scale, and a partscaster 5.

There should've been a "just a couple short of what I need" option lol

Ibanez Mikro
Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Fretless
Sire MM V7
Ibanez SR306EB
I suck pretty bad, but they're all so different and so much fun to play in different ways... I just love to play!

Now I just need a 5 string. And a hollow body. And an acoustic. And a Yamaha, maybe
