Currently still at one
But i am transitioning back to 6-string since i swapped my guitar for an Ibanez SR1206...
My beloved Cort B5 Element just walked out the door and i have massive GAS for either an Ibanez Sr606E Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat, or a SRSC806 Deep Twilight Flat or a BTB846SC Deep Twilight Low Gloss...
i would like to get a second bass just in case...

This is a ridiculous amount of basses to own!!
I’ll help.
Are you ready to sell the IGB-805?
25 is a much more respectable number 😃
 
4 basses! In order of acquisition:

2020 Harley Benton RB-414, black
1991(?) Peavey Foundation, natural
1998(?) Danelectro Longhorn, ā€œBeatnik Burgundyā€
1981(?) Fernandes RB-80, black

Looking for number 5… GASing for:

1974/5 Gibson Ripper (Sunburst pretty please)
Kawai FIIB
A Thunderbird of some sort
We won't mind photos - especially of the Longhorn!

i have two, a solid and hollow body which cover all the sounds i'm after.

living in a small apartment means that i don't have the space and any additional basses would have to be packed away which would defeat the object of owning them.

my bass buying days are over and now i can just enjoy drooling over some of the basses posted on here without feeling the need to open my wallet!
 
Back down to six, including the upright. I'm going to donate two as soon as I motorvate myself to look into the best program. Looking forward to getting the ones I'm not using out of here.

EBMM fretless '79 Pino Palladino Stingray (arriving Thursday)
Shen 5/8 hybrid upright
'79 fretless Music Man Sabre
Squier P bass (new with the 1.5 neck)
Dano Longhorn (will be donated)
Ibby Mezzo fiver (will be donated)

Is the Longhorn a reissue or original?
