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

[JC BASS 91]

I'm at 17, now...

 

[Chenzo]

I've been steady at 4 for a while now:

'94 MIM P
Conklin GT-4 (my first bass)
Hohnor B2B for travel
Ibanez AEB5E

Although since getting back into the woodshed recently, there are several TBers in the Classifieds who may be hearing from me soon...

 

[JRA]

i'm not sure when i last posted a count of "how many" but these two are fairly new:

a newly modified version of a 2024 parts ax,


and an actual new parts ax


i'm still in the same category ("5-9") with 8 playable EBs.

As of today, I own one bass. I sold six basses over the last couple of months, the last two sold today. Interestingly, *the one* is not fancy or expensive. It's a beat-up 2000 MIM P bass. I came upon it recently in a local guitar shop, played it and was smitten. Bought it for $350.00. For the time being, it's all I need. I'll probably pickup a fretless sooner or later (probably a Lakland or Sandberg or Rob Allen) but for now I'm quite content with this one.

So, a month later and I'm at 4 basses. In addition to the MIM P bass, I recently bought a fretless Rob Allen. The RA and the P are my primary and secondary. I also picked up two Ernie Ball Music Mans: a USA SUB Stingray (that I put flats on--I love the sound of a classic Stingray with flats) and a USA SUB Sterling (with rounds--for when I want that aggressive sound).

This has been a very intentional project to rebuild my stable of basses from the ground up. I don't anticipate adding any more and I've got an full range of different sounds for different live and recording projects. But I know I could also trim down to any one of these four and be quite happy. Maybe, just maybe, I'll add another fretless at some point in order to have a backup.

Back down to one, my Cort B5 Element.
Sold the Harley Benton yesterday and have the Sire GB5-4FL and my Ibanez AS83-STE up for sale locally...
Need cash and have a bad case of GAS for a BTB846SC or BTB676 with lid selector switch used to own the BTB846SC but stupidly sold it in 2020 or 2021
