Was wondering how many basses you have...and do you play all of them? is there such a thing as too many basses?

How Many Basses?
- Thread starter Bassist4
- Start date
I have 4. 2 Precisions, ones a anniversary model and one is a Squier and practically unplayable, as it was my first.
I also have a Stingray, a Custom Precision Bass w/ soapbars (so I guess 3 Precisions?) and one on the truck for delivery todaynailbiting. It's a brand new AmStd Jag from Fender
I try to play them all equally (excluding the Squier, which I just can't haha). The anniversary P gets a tad bit more playing time because I bring that to play at my school program. But here at home the Stingray and the Custom get played.
How bout you?
*i guess the nailbiting emoji isn't an emoji anymore, huh?

2 1/2 - G&L LB-100, G&L SB-1, a crappy (but fun!) subway guitars fretless violin bass.
I play them all. I play the 2 G&L's a lot and the fretless here and there for fun. It's all jacked up and has bad action and stuff so i just leave it out lying around. it's fun and easy to pick up and play.

Had 54 but sold a few over the past few months, probably around 48 now. I'd say 8 get heavy use.
I was actually thinking of taking my G&L down to Rocket Music on Friday.
From the look on your face in your avatar, I'd say you have 1.
Seriously though, nice collection.
I have 2 of the same MTD pbass models.
1 has rosewood board and wears flats.
The other is maple with rounds .
Until I can play as well as Pino, Jamerson, Bobby Watts , Luis Johnson , Michael League, and Nate Watts, I'm good.
I have my work cut out for me and probably won't buy another bass ever again .

Notice which one is the centerpiece! Besides it was new bass day. Or week. I don't actually remember! And thanks, I'm quite happy with my modest collection. Its the most basses I've owned at one time. Usually just one or two at a time.From the look on your face in your avatar, I'd say you have 1.
