3 guitars, two basses. (One bass until last Monday)...

I need more basses. :) I'd like to have one fretted with roundwounds and one with flatwounds, and the same with fretless. I'd also like to change my Warwick to a Fender J or perhaps better off, de-fret the Warwick and buy a Fender J...
 
8 basses: '53 precision, '61 Stackknob Jazz, "78 Guild B301, '93 Fender Prophecy, Chinese Squire P-Special with bartolinis, Modified Squier P with schaller pickups, 2 Modified P-Copies with gotoh bridges and alnico V pickups. Tortoise shell where ever possible.

2 Guitars: A modified Squire strat and a cheap epi LP for when those other instrument players come around.

You could say I have an addiction, now all I need is a band.

Oops, Forgot my modified Mexican Jazz(Stack knobs, reverse tuners, side-by-side humbuckers)

By the way, I'm not rich. Bought the really nice ones in the early eighties while I was still single and they were affordable. Never sell anything nice.
