[Bassist4]

Had 54 but sold a few over the past few months, probably around 48 now. I'd say 8 get heavy use.

54 Oh My god LOL how do you home them all?

I have three basses. I do play them all through a Fender Super Bassman / Bassman 410 Neo. They all sound good every time.

OP sounds like my dad back in the day. But, he was more like: How many of those damn things do you need? : you can't play all of them at once can you?

15. Selling 8 and getting a USA Geddy Lee. Then calling it quits. Keeping my MIMs: Geddy 3TSB, P, Fretless J and FSR Sea Foam Pearl PJ. Keeping my Ruby Red Burst Ray 34 and my Epiphone EB3 and a 2001 Squier 5 P with J pups.

Selling My Ibanez RDGR500, SR300B, SR305B, SR406, Talman TMB100 and TMB300. A mint colored Sub 4 by Sterling and a Squier Cabronita. All fine basses, but I found my niche with Fender a nice SBMM and love the EB3. The Squier cuz it's a nice 5 and figured I'd keep one five.

I leave them to count themselves, I can't be bothered to figure them out.

The final family minus the hopefully soon to be USA Geddy. As soon as I sell the other step-children.

Ibanez atk200, '95 peavey fury, Cort gb44, Cort gb54, cort slammer bass, parts p-bass, squier Bronco.

So, I have 7 right now, but I'll be selling the gb54 and getting rid of the slammer somehow. Once those are gone, I'll have one more purchase: an ibanez srsc805. I think 6 is a good number for me.

That being said, the real problem occurs when you're a multi-instrumentalist. I also have 5 electric guitars and still need to buy an acoustic, and let's not even talk amps and pedals....
