Look what Talkbass has done to me.

Am I the only person who has fewer instruments because of joining forums? You all have helped convince me that I only need the gear I truly bond with and that everything else is surplus.

Yes, you are! (well almost!)

I agree with TB that I only need the gear that I have truly bond with. And I'm happy to report I've truly bonded with ALL of them (lower end SX collection of bar basses not shown).

I showed that to my wife and she just kissed me.
I showed my wife and said, "look what GAS can make you do." She replied, "Look what else GAS can make you do." and walked out the front door shutting it behind her. We both had a good laugh, but I knew deep down she was a little bit serious too...that's why I love her. She keeps me in check.

I joined in 2011. It's 2018 and now look. Don't get me started on my Rigs :)

I can see your problems.

You obviously do not have enough SVTs+Fridges to properly seam your mantelpiece and your ensemble needs at least one P with flats and tort pickguard to be called a collection.
Don't fret, friend - you're slowly getting there! It's only been 7 years so far.
I guess the lack of pedalboard(s) in the pic means that you are ashamed to show what you have, or rather lack, in that department. But we all started with one bass and one amp at some point.
