multiple of the same bass

[ASQTec]

Three Birdsongs Corto basses here.

My OCD is nagging me to make it an even number.

Personally, I don't see the need or reason to get more than two of the same bass.

Edit: However, if that makes someone happy, more power to them.

Yep. These see a fair bit of use:

RevPJ - one with dead LaBella deep talkers, one with d'Addario nickels
RevJJ - one with DR steels, one with d'Addario nickels strung BEAD

I have 4 Carvin LB50 basses 3 Koa and another Black, one has EMG HB pups another has a set of Chromes and the Black one is my Tweety bass (piccolo).
I also have 2 Peavey Foundations a fretted White with maple neck and another sunburst fretless.

No duplicates, but I considered buying a G&L JB and stringing that with roundcores and putting LaBella flats on the Squier Jazz. Alas, plans have shifted...

Multiples of the same bass? That would never happen at my house...............

Let me stir a bit..... I have one P-bass which equals multiple of anything

Is 6 Fender Precision Basses too many? Haha in my defense 3 are P/J's all of those have different preamps. 3 are more regular 1 pickup basses, 1 has a 4band Audere preamp and 2 are passive.

Good God...

And as far as the question, funny enough, of the multiple basses that I own, I don't even own two of the same brand.

Fodera
LowEnd
Pedulla
Warwick
Music Man
Fender
Ibanez

One of each. Although I wouldn't mind another Fodera...

Not at the same time, but I've owner over 20 different EBMM StingRays. They're sort of my bass "home," but I'm now more into jazzes due to their neck and sound.

I can't compete with that, but I sure agree with it. I have five Thunderbirds of various kinds for the time being, with another one that will have a Precision pickup in the works. 'Birds come in flocks. It's good.

Yeah Baby!!!! (Loudly, in Austin Powers' voice)

I have 3 Pedulla MVP's, all set up the same, but they're all different colors

And 4 Foundations the same only 2 have the Super Ferrite pickups and 2 the soapbars.View attachment 954314

Afraid I don't have a group photo of my T-40s but they follow the same flats and rounds routine

Man why do you hate Peaveys so much???

In the course of 20-odd years, I've picked up multiples of what I consider the key old-school basses: Ps, Js, 'Rays, Rics and Hofners. Some are significantly different than their brothers, some aren't, but each one had something that grabbed me enough to buy it, and I still love most of them. I'm trying to winnow them down a bit, but it's hard to let go!

You'd think the Lull (it's a great bass) but, at least to my ear they're all a bit different - pickups, woods, construction the Jackson has a preamp and EMGs. Even the 3 '76 Gibson differ in tone because the pickups were wound inconsistently. So I like them all.
