How many basses have you ever owned?

[dave64o]

Started messing around with bass pretty late in life in 2000 or so and started getting more serious about two years ago. I've owned 10 basses total, including the 4 I own now. I also have an SX that I'm in the process of frankensteining into a parts bass, which will bring me up to 11 owned and 5 current.

i own 2. owned only those same two. ive been playing 2 years.

 

[malthumb]

I count 26, including three that I bought for the sole purpose of giving away ( one to a school, one to a church, one to Save The Music)

Currently have 6 and not looking for any more.

 

[BassinCT]

Wow. Do you guys just hit 'em and flip-em, collect or wat? wow.

Playing since '84. Never owned more than two at a time. I'm on #6. Maybe one more in the future...

 

[Catbuster]

Well...
Music Man Stingray 5
Fender Jazz Bass Special
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
Squier CV P Bass
Fender MIJ P
Fender American Standard P
Fender MIM Standard Jazz
Fender Aerodyne Jazz

So... 8. I played the MIJ P ad Jazz Special alone for a very long time.
I've still got my MIM & Am. Standard. I'd like another SR5, Geddy & the MIJ that had a '75 RI Jazz neck, SD 1/4 pound P/J set in the '70s position and a BadAss II.

I've been a gigging musician for over 30 years, atleast 20 of them primarily as a bassist... I've probably owned somewhere between 50-100 basses, and atleast 50 guitars... I currently own 11 basses and 6 guitars...

I played bass at a gig the first time over 20 years ago. I've probably owned about 40. I stopped selling/trading once I ordered my first custom.

 

[kenfxj]

28 basses and 9 guitars.

I think. I might be missing a few.

 

[Stilettoprefer]

I'm have owned 4 basses. Currently 2 1/2 (one is a parts bass). I have been playing since 2009. But one of those is a bass that I built for my senior project!

 

[jFigueroaBass]

playing since 2001, have only owned three.

 

[Ric5]

Over 60 basses I think ... I currently have 15 basses.

 

[Definitely]

1 buying my 2nd next week

 

[WilliamSandoval]

Just one!

BUUUUUUT...

I've been playing the gu***r since I was 3 and I have owned 5 gu***rs.

Lame I know...

 

[madbassplaya]

I can remember 73 off the top of my head.

 

[WackoStu]

I have been playing 8 months and have owned 4.

 

[RBX4]

5

 

[Particle Man]

Been playing around thirty years and have owned seven. Still have six.

 

[BassGen]

I'm at 12. For being 18 years old and starting when I was 12, I think 12 pretty impressive.

Spending money is easy son. Spending it wisely is something else altogether. No disrespect intended.

 

[Spiritfield]

Carrots. Lots and LOTS of carrots....

Had my first for one year. Bought my next one in `99; it was my only bass until last year. That`s when your damn dirty disease took over (GAS). Seen six more since then
