Official Crappy Bassist with Expensive Gear Club

Count me in...

MIM P bass
MIM Jazz
Ibanez ATK
Ibanex SRX 505 5 string
Fender Jazzmaster
Epiphone Explorer
Hartke 3500 stack
Fender Super Reverb amp
Pearl Export select drumset w/ Gibraltar rack

I have way more gear than a hack of all trades like myself really needs.
 
Over 45 years of playing - 17 of them "professionally" (LOL) . Now just in my living room. Always with top shelf equipment. Hundreds of compliments...."Your bass sounds great....How do you get that tone? ......What kind of bass....... or strings .........or amp are you using?..... Great tone ...." and on and on.

Number of positive comments on my playing: about 3.7 in 45 years!

Do I qualify?

I'll take a number as well. I've only been playing a year but have a 2010 MM Stingray 5. I bought, fixed up, and sold quite a few basses and guitars so I could get one. Maybe I should stick to fixing them up rather than learning how to play one. :hiding:
