I can't find if I posted here but I definitely have added more since I fist voted haha. I jumped from 4 to currently 7:

Squier P bass (heavily modded - black)
Squier P bass (heavily modded - red)
Squier P bass (heavily modded - white/blue) - this is my newest, and is my current project bass that I'm in the process of modding
Fender Jaguar
Fender Kingman Bass V1
Fender Kingman Bass V2
Squier Bass VI

I think last time I voted was around 2016 when I got my Jaguar, where I had 2 p basses (the black and the red, but it wasn't red yet haha), the first Kingman, and then the jag

Currently voting two basses

Thought a P for flats (Fralin) and a P for rounds (MFD) would work nicely for me ..... but now thinking that the one with rounds needs to be two: one for nickel-plated rounds (MFD), one for steel rounds (Dimarzio)

This is how the road to having a dozen basses starts, isn't it? 😬

I've added two more since this post. Here's my updated list!

  1. 1990's Roscoe LG-3005 (my number 1 that will be buried with me)
  2. 1974 Hagstrom HII BN (my first vintage and first short scale bass)
  3. 1979 Ibanez Studio ST-925 (heavy as a house, but amazing tone)
  4. 1960s Kent 822 Hollowbody (bought from Jake Serek on a deal, fun change of pace)
  5. Dingwall 1st Gen Combustion 5 (for when I'm feeling metal)
  6. Nodrstrand Acinonyx Cat Bass (still haven't fully bonded with this one yet)
  7. Bordwell Dola 5 (got on trade to check out, really enjoy it so far)
  8. Supro Huntington II (killer short scale that I love gigging with)
  9. Yamaha BB1025x (was looking for a BB for the sound, but fell in love with this version with the metal control plate)
  10. Epiphone Embassy (kept as a cheap beater bass to have as a o, but the neck is a bit chunky for my taste)
  11. Modded SX Jazz 5 (heavily modded and partially functional, haha)
  12. 1987 EBMM Sabre
  13. 1967 Gibson EB-2 (previous owner reshaped headstock)
  14. Fidelity Guitars Custom Stellarosa (a tribute to my grandparents)
  15. Squier Rascal

This is a new high water mark for me. I know own more basses than ever before. I suppose this is what a midlife crisis looks like when you don't have kids and are into basses instead of cars, haha!

After deserting my basses for almost 24 years, got them all checked and cleaned up. The 78 Jazz was just restored with new Bourbon Burst finish and parts from Fender.

1978 Fender Jazz
Status Graphite Empathy
Tobias Growler
CIJ Fender JB62 FL

Time to start practicing again.
