Yes, you ARE the bassman... :D
 
Only two, but they are special.
One Bogart fretless 5, single Bart in the bridge position, and Demeter preamp.

One Warmoth fretted 5 Jazz, Birdseye maple everything. Bart HB in bridge position, running passive right now, but you never know.

May be adding to the collection really soon. Local builder Tom Clement has impressed me, may have to have a couple customs made. hehehehehe

Come on up and test drive a few.:D

7) 92 Peavey Foundation
8) 93 Fender Prophecy II
9) 94 Peavey Foundation

I've given away 3 more this year(2 to extended family members and 1 to my teaching intern - I'm a math teacher believe it or not) I'm awaiting a return PM on another foundation, so it may be 14 soon. I could have sworn I had another hidden somewhere.
 
OK, you guys with more than 10; do you regularly play them all?

I have 5.

Of course, the 8 guitars may be wasting the room I could use for more basses :eek:


I regularly play my 5 string and fretless. I had been playing the Alembic whne I played a 4 string fretted, but it needs a setup/fret job/whatever and I'm penniless so it's retired for now. This has led to my rediscovering my Tobias, which I now realize is the best bass in the world. It's going to see a lot more time. I wish I could get the action this low on all my basses. Among the other 4 strings, I like the Alembic for its aggressive bite so it gets used when that's appropriate. The Mouradian sounds better than any of the others with a pick, so when I'm picking I use that one. The cheapies get used when I don't wnat to have to worry about the bass I'm using.

Just noodling with the Midibass now, but I can see it having its uses in a band without a keyboard player. I set the Bich up with guitar strings when I got the Gibson, 8 and 12 string basses seemed redundand. I just noodle on it once in a while at home. The Gibson got used frequently until recently, I think the project I was using it for has dried up.

The uprights get noodled on at home.
 
Got 6 , a 7th under construction with Warmoth parts;

1- 5 string fretted ( self made )
2- MIA Fender Jazz
3- 5 string fretless ( self made )
4- Carvin 5 string fretless ( LB75PF )
5- Kelly Acoustic 5 String Fretless
6- A very very big acoustic 4 string fretless (some call it upright bass ?)

Another 5 string fretless is under way , it will be a Piezo/GK Bass
 
1) a Squier Precision Special Walnut satin finish with EMG P/J-Set (2007)
2) a Squier Protone Precision Special V with EMG BTC electronics, Hipshot bridge and Ultralight tuners (1997)
3) a Rickenbacker 4001 (1974) with fireglo finish and some mods (currently for refinish)
4) a MIM Fender Jazz classic '70s (2008) with 3TS finish, BAII bridge and Nordstrand PUs.
 
1) Ibanez GSR100 (First bass)
2) SX SJB75
3) OLP MM2
4) Ibanez ATK 300 (90's 3TS)
5) SX SPJ62
6) Ibanez ATK 300 (90's Black and Maple)

So far every bass I own (and have owned) has cost me $200 or less before tax or s/h.

The SPJ62 and B&M ATK arrived last week. So I'm really trying to hold back the desire to pick up a used Rockbass Corvette at GC.
