I think you could easily join this club for under $8k... just go visit Rondomusic.com. LOL
Seriously though... this thread gives me major GAS. Some of you guys have/have had CRAZY collections. Where the hell do you store 50+ basses? I have 8 and they take up too much room (or so my GF tells me).

#21 -- Oreomeister365 -- did you really own 51 Wals? That's gotta be a record....in all the basses I've owned and played, not ONE has been a Wal.
#22 -- FLKnifemaker, pending a post (don't worry about ALL of 'em, just list 50!)
#23 -- Chopper47
#24 -- bikeplate, pending a post. And a pic of your two favorite Sadowskys.

Dam you people. This is golf. Not a rock concert..
I'm in - I've owned over 50. I have 11 right now, and the most I have ever owned at one time is 14.
Right now:
Roscoe
Xotic
Pedulla
Elrick
Bogart
Neuser
Warwick Thumb
Alembic Epic
Dean 10
Curbow IEP, and a Palatino EUB
In the past (checking the list), I've also had 4 other Warwicks, 2 Kubicki's, 2 Statii, 2 Spectors, 2 8-strings (a Dean and an Ibanez Studio), a Dean 12-string, a 1971 4001, a handful of Peaveys and Yamahas, a Galveston acoustic, an MTD Kingston, an Eko fiddle bass, a Conklin, a Tobias, 2 Cort Curbows, a Kawai FIIB, a Brian Moore i5, 2 Tunes, one Jackson, one Charvel, one Washburn, one Sekova, one Hondo, a couple of Ibanez', and one bass I even built myself....
Looking at my list, I make it in at 56 total.
HA! How about that... I guess I really just have always wanted to try as many different bass manufacturers as I can. There's a few I wish I had back, and many I would rather forget.
Count me in.
