I only have three basses thread

[TylerlovesAva]

I own one bass and I don't even know what it is! But I do have access to 5 other basses whenever I want.
Actually If anybody could help me out on what kind of bass I own that'd be brilliant. It's an Aria.

I can't help you, but I'm digging how it looks!

I also have three (Fender RBV, Fender MIJ fretless P, G&L Tribute L2000) and they more than cover all my needs. While I do feel lucky to own such fine instruments that aren't bank-breaking, I don't see myself stopping here.Who says collecting basses was about neccessity, though?

 

[Snake1967]

I have 3
Ibanez BTB450QM
Squier VMJ
Samick P type 4 string

 

[ReidoT]

I have three fenders: an active jazz, a passive jazz, and a jag. the jag was as close as i could get to a jazz while getting enough different tones to feel as if buying it was justified.

 

[mikeypbass]

I have a Squier P (beater), Stingray HH (main), Upton Standard Hybrid (future main ) I feel thats all one really needs, 3 basses

 

[akflyer]

I have three:

-MIA Jazz

[X Wolf]

I too only have 3 basses, 2 fretted P/J's and 1 fretless P/J. It's all I need for now. All three were made by Pat Wilkins.

Im really praying this is just a picture of my collection from my future self. That is my dream collection, man!

Throw in a Lakland Dj, then we will be set.

Let's take a step back and realize how stupid that sounds!:
Question for everyone out there..... Is this GAS thing a recent phenomenom or were there nuts 20-30 years ago that had 10 or even 20 basses?

20-39 years ago there weren't enough basses to get GAS for.
BTW, I currently have three basses. A 66 J a Warmoth fretleess P and a Warmoth 5J
