Is there a King club? I have a 1938 King Mortone!
I'm one of the people reading this wondering how someone could have had 30 or 40 of the same brand bass. Either you liked it, or you didn't?
I still have most of the basses I ever bought... and the ones I don't have anymore weren't worth keeping, except for maybe collector value. I find myself playing one or two, and some of them I haven't played in years.
My meager list:
2 SGD Scorpio 5 strings (set neck... Main basses number 2 and 3)
1 SGD Scorpio 5 string (bolt on... My main bass at the moment)
1 SGD Scorpio 5 string (neck through fretless)
1 8-string bass I built.
2 '73 Rickenbacker 4001's (my 2rd and 3rd basses)
'88 Ibanez SR-885 5 string
Mosrite Ventures bass
(guitars)
SGD Alchemy
Lucite Dan-O Longhorn copy I made
'72 Fender Mustang
'59 Jazzmaster
Charvel frankenstein
Univox High Flyer
hand made classical
No longer have:
'68 Teisco/Kawai Concert (My first bass!)
Klira violin bass
Hondo II P/J Frankenbass; fretless with Kahler vibrato.
'74 Fender Precision
Gibson EB-2
Kramer Duke
Mosrite Ventures bass
(guitars)
Vox Stereo Phantom XII
Hayman 2020
'82 Gibson LesPaul Standard
Gibson ES-330TD
That's only 28 (with the Mortone)... and not all basses!
Apparently you didn't read my list. All but the Kalamazoo and one Yamaha on it were lefties.
OK, forgot a couple:
Ibanez 2
Plus with the two basses I have one the way (another Smith and a GS5) and the one that is being built (Regenerate Guitar Works) that gets me to 45. I should be getting to 50 soon.
I am definitely in...

George, I count 44 in your profile. Plus 2 on the way is 46. Got any more in the closet you forgot? List 'em and I'll give you a number.....
(Some serious vintage axes and amps there, dude......! Love those old pre-CBS amps!)
Thank's! I've owned at least 4 more basses, Unfortunately I just don't remember the specifics because they've been spread over such a long time. It's ok though, I don't really need a "number". If I remember some more I'll add them to my profile list.
George
