Is it time for a 3rd Bass?

Yeah... about the bass licking. I'll touch one before going to bed, but you two should get a room.

Sigh. Wanna know the worst part about it? Rude Bass™ isn't even a classy broad. She's the bass equivalent of a trailer park skank with all the offensive and tacky "tattoos" to go along with it. I sure can pick 'em.

My Cover band plays songs in 3 tunings + drop variation. I Currently have two 4 string basses. One to cover E Standard/DropD, Eb Standard/Drop C# material. The second bass covers material from C Standard/DropB/A. We currently play sets for 1h30min-3hs which is built around the tunings.

I am currently thinking about purchasing a 3rd bass to play the Eb material. Realistically I don't mind tuning down the half step, but when I drop the Eb to C# its a major neck relief difference then when using the same strings in E standard and assuming its going to make my tuning stability/neck relief unstable and maybe long turn damage to the neck constantly changing it. So "realistically" would it be better for my bass neck for relief stability/tuning stability/intonation/string life to buy a third bass?

I am also in the market for a new Bass head "Mesa Wd-800" current is a Acoustic B200h with a SVT410He cab.. I want to spend my $ wisely as i'm not rich but don't mind spending cash on my rig if its a need/justifiable want. I also play guitar and drums so I have a lot of equipment but it is my passion.

This is TB....should be at 33rd by now... get movin’.

Seriously though get the 3rd

I know, I'm at 6 myself. I was thinking I could trick him into selling one to me real cheap just to keep his count to 2. Haha
