Is this normal?!!

[Bodeanly]

It could be worse. I just keep buying the same bass in different colors/ finishes. Sometimes, they even have the same colors/ finishes. I tell them “you’re the one! You’re the only one I’ve ever loved!” What sucks is that I could afford more basses if I didn’t have to pay for therapy.

Someone should come up with a term for this desire to buy more gear.

I borrowed an Aerodyne from a friend trying to sell it. I called him the next day and told him i’d take it. He said after it being out of the house overnight he’d changed his mind. I’ve looked at a few more over they years but they all had something(s) that disqualified them. If you want it and have the cash, snag it up. You could do a lot worse.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY!!...WE ARE ALL ENABLERS!!!...WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU??!?

 

[jamro217]

I don't understand the question.

 

[Doctor Intrepid]

No. I've never bought a bass and then 3 more within two months. That sounds absurd. Don't look at my profile pic!

Basses are not wives.

Billy Sheehan might disagree.

I don't understand the question.

Oh, there was a question?

 

[Bassist Jay]

To the O.P., you can never have to many basses. I say, “Go for it!”

 

[ihixulu]

I think you're sick. You should send me the MM so that you can buy the Fender without exacerbating your illness.

I feel your pain bass brother. my wife just bought me the Ibanez sr655... one of my fav basses ever now. but im in the market for a warwick now, of course the wife said no.. is it bad that I ordered anyways and im gonna hide in the my band room she never goes in to.

Wouldn't be the first time he was wrong.

So I got this bass back in January as a birthday/christmas present to myself
View attachment 3019492
Now I have serious GAS for this necause it reminds me of an Ibanez I ised to have in the mid-eighties( actually a P.o.s.) View attachment 3019493because it reminds me of that Ibanez I want it so bad. I know without even trying it out that it’s a really nice bass. The Stingray is literally the best bass I’ve ever had. Does this happen to any of you guys? I feel like I’m cheating on my wife.

I hope by now it’s already in the pipeline to your address. I have one and love it. I wasn’t satisfied with the pu’s so they got swapped for Geezer’s but the neck still impresses me every time I pick it up. Enjoy.

Which Ibanez was it? U might be able to find it cheap.

 

[EdwardofHuncote]

Jeannie is the only girl for me...

...but my harem of basses is another story.

If you can swing it, get the Aero.

Which Warwick?

 

[mercbass]

IMO, having one bass is like having one size wrench. You need others.


There are lots of basses out there.

I once thought I desperately needed an Aerodyne Jazz ( so much so that I ordered one direct from Japan ).

Sadly, I just could not get used to that binding around the edge! (YMMV)

Alas, I had to say a tearful goodbye to this:
