There's a couple of cats here who could hit 100 -- I'm close -- but it's probably be better to call them the "pathological flippers club" or something.....

So, Bone, you want a number?

In the words of Groucho Marx,"I would never join a club that would have me for a member".:)

I think, like a lot of players on this board if you find a used bass cheap(that you know you'll get your money back at resale) you snap it up just to try it. Ebay has played a part in helping the resale thing but I've been doing it for years(since 73 or so). The great thing about this is every once in a while you plug in a bass and just go "Whoa I like this", and those basses stay while many others go away.

Having a very understanding wife also helps, I love that girl!

Bingo. Could not have said that better myself.

Ah.......yeah, my Julie was a riot. She'd laugh when she saw me come through the house with a case, and say, "Is that one coming or going?" She was the best, ever.

Just for that, you've earned yourself #31. Lucky for you, there's no dues to pay.
