Just Curious How Many Basses You Own..

[BaltBass5]

I am obsessed with buying Basses for the collection and I’m curious how many others have this disease!

I am too. Curious about how many basses I own, that is. But not enough to actually count them.

Unless you're left handed? Only one...

Not me. I have a Jazz bass and a P bass. That's it, a gigging bass and a backup.

I got 40 or so. So many basses so little time. Good to have a stable if you do studio work. But after 5, the rest is just obsession and love.

Seven. Not six, nor eight, but seven. Seven basses.

Mine is a mild case, and pretty much in remission at this point...

I have a related affliction - I’m addicted to building them, not buying them.

I’m about to start dismantling my early builds just to keep the size of the collection manageable.

I keep coming across bargains I can't refuse.... have 9 but there is going to be a sell off soon.

I have mid 40's. Every bass I ever wanted (sometimes 2). Wife says I need to thin the herd. I think the wife could use a thinning

I thought i was heading to 40 but as of today I think I might slow down now. I was asked to play bass at my church and I spent way to much time deciding which of my current 8 to use. I’m a tone junky so whenever I see someone post on here about an iconic tone or find a new bassist I end up wanting a new bass. To limit the angst of choosing a bass I think I’m just going to target a stingray and maybe a custom and be done with it.

On the other hand I just took delivery of my PRS and the GAS may not have had a chance to recharge.

Ther's a pretty substantial sample set here: How many basses do you own? (Currently) Part 2

2. For now. Feel weird owning 2 (bedroom player) but couldn't resist eastwood airline when it showed up locally used. Though I had been waiting on the squier mustang to be released (couldn't wait). And resisting the gretsch jr jet.

Weirdness goes away though when I think of other ways I or others can spend money. Not buying high dollar basses. Add up some other hobbies and my basses arent much over time.
