How many basses do you own, total?

[jbossolo]

13 here, but that's not a good number, so I've GOT to get me another one (or two).

It'd be really interesting to know what the average number of basses is here. I bet it's somewhere close to 8.

 

[hip63]

Wow! 20 guitars. I need help!

With what? Carrying them?

I just received #7 yesterday!

get more!

I have a dozen. This pic is outdated, but I still have most of these:

I'm due for a new picture - maybe I can get one this evening with the whole herd included.

1989 Fender Squier II Precision Bass

I have another Squier but cant remember the model as its at my dads house for a few years.

 

[bpa11]

3 lefties. I think that equates to 37.5 righties.

 

[mambo4]

one less than I used to, thanks to some theives

 

[edmidlifecrisis]

I've got 6 and one my son bought (Rogue 5 string), total 7 in house. His and 2 of mine are to be sold, so that will leave 4, which is still too many and yet not enough for someone who just plays in living rooms with various friends and family. I have bought and sold a bunch in the last few years.

 

[tahoebass92]

I have 5 as well: 4 electric (basically 2 jazzes and 2 precisions) and an upright. There's always room for more, but I have everything I need!

 

[Bassquest]

I don't count anymore but probably a couple dozen.

 

[wraub]

Sold one, back down to 4.

No collection of stringed instruments is complete without a banjo.
