I've seen a lot of stupid stuff on TB.
I mean a lot, in my almost 11 years here.
This about takes the cake, though.

more basses = less skill?

I just bought another bass and it won't arrive till later this week. That means I only have a few days until I start to suck.
Not so much a joke as it is a lot of manifested insecurity.
I only have 3 basses. I guess that puts me in the top 1% of talent, here on TB. Come at me bros.
People that say this probably can't afford a second or third bass, so rather than accept it and move on, they have to put down people that are better off out of jealousy. Just like the people who say "real bassists don't play with a pick" or "no one needs more than 4 strings," they should be disregarded and pitied.
I have more basses than skill and it's not because of the basses... It's because I've never taken a lesson and don't practice all that much. I can think of a few reasons to have different basses... Fretted vs fretless, different tunings (E, D, C), different tones (4 vs 5, P vs J vs Rick vs Ray vs whatever).
Not to mention that trying out different basses and exploring what's out there is fun as well.

Up until recently I had only one bass and I suck. Now I have two basses. Does that mean I suck more now?!
Silly issue. If you are a good bass player you can play any
4 or 5 or 6 string bass no matter what brand.
I have 4 basses, they a re all different brands.

Yes. You suck 50% more. When you get a third bass, you will suck an additional 33% more from the 50% of suckiness you already had. It's a vicious cycle.
Thats what I was thinking! Hmmm, guess I need to sell one of my basses, and sell it fast, since I CANNOT afford to suck more than I already do. Now I just have to decide which bass to unload.
Uh, that would be a "No". That's NO, double NO, and triple NO.
I was about to state that I've never heard of anything so ridiculous...but then again, I've been a TalkBass member for awhile now.
From whence do these ignorant, superstitious fables originate, anyway? Who can even keep up with the constant flow of such nonsense?

"professional players who have recorded with that Esperansa girl"
sounds legit
