Welcome to TB. You showed great courage in admitting to be a drummer in the opening of your initial post. Thems fightin' words 'round here. :roflmao: You did manage to salvage your reputation by claiming ownership of multiple basses. Look forward to hearing from you often, Rick.

Yes I figured they would be. But in the interest of full disclosure I had to come clean. ;)

I've been here since Saturday but I too have been lurking for a while. I played the drums forever. Last February I picked up my first bass and found a teacher locally who I can't say enough good things about. In the course of the last little over a year I've managed to purchase 7 basses total (some would say I need an intervention, I choose to ignore those people).

I'm selective in what i have bought. They were purchased because I love the look and sound but also because I really do enjoy the hunt and the find. I only buy what catches my eye, or something I've heard and love the sound.

Anyway just wanted to say hello. I look forward to the advice and am enjoying reading the banter so far :)

Welcome aboard Rick @Cafiveoh !
Lots of great people and musicians and techs and comedians in this little part of the world. Looks like your bass addiction got off to a good start! I can’t wait to hear about the amp and cab fetish that you’ll likely succumb to :D

Nice to know that even though you started out as a drummer you had the good sense to become a musician, and a bass player at that. I recently downsized my herd (gasps from the audience! The horror!!) but now I can play them all. Kinda like a Mormon husband.

Welcome. I never thought of having more than one bass for the first 16 years or so. Then it was two basses for the next 12 years. Then another here and there every few years. This last year it was three parts basses that I enjoyed assembling (still working on the third).

So where are the pictures?

Oh I see them, wow you didn't mess around!

It took me 25 years before I could afford 7 basses! Jeez, starting off with a bang. Well have fun, that's the important thing.

Yeah but back in the 40's and 50's there were very limited options and everything was relatively much more expensive.

25 years ago was 1995 -- Jimmy is not that ancient. 40's is like Normandy and 50's the Korean War.
