Zero. For awhile now, I have been bass-less. It sucks. Just a streak of bad luck. Had to sell some, lost a couple in a flood that destroyed about 95% of all my family's possessions...also just got busy with work, moving across country, etc. Played a lot of guitar the past year or so because I'm not playing in a band or with anyone else (a situation I hope will change soon.)

But I found a cheap old Lotus P-copy at a local pawn shop today and I think I'm gonna take it home. Might need a little work, but I can do the work.

I'm very happy to be picking up a bass again. I've been playing since 1978 and I've missed it terribly. It's just my instrument. Nothing else compares and I play a few other instruments but I suck at everything but bass.
 
Okay I pulled the trigger on #11 shipped out from GC Saturday. Epiphone EB-0 short scale I do not have any short scale basses in my current line up, so this will be a nice addition. Most of my bass are work horses no high dollar stuff anymore. Everything well set up and modified to make them gig worthy

2. MiM Fender P

3. Epiphone Embassy 1V

4. Epiphone El SeGundo

8. Dean Hollywood “Z”
