Why can't I just have 2 basses (1 Fretted and 1 Fretless)

From Left to Right: 4 Fretless, 2 Fretted

Fretless Precision (2019 Tony Franklin Neck/2019 Performer Body)Thought it was sold - now keeping.
2016 American Professional Fretless Jazz
Rob Allen Mouse Fretless
2009 Highway P Bass
2018 American Professional Fretted Jazz
2000? (3rd owner) Peavey Foundation 2000 Fretless Bass (Believe it or not - the best playing fretless neck in the lot)

Man I need to quit this. . . . . .
 
Yeah I always thought that. Then I remember Greg Ridley, bass player for Humble Pie, saw them in the beginning with Peter Frampton and then at the end.

Then I saw Greg with his band right before he died - same P bass through out. He was my hero.

Right now I only/mainly play only 2 of them. The fretted jazz and the Rob Allen - both with smaller necks that helps my left hand pain. Actually I will be playing the Peavey for an electric fretless - it has a jazz profile neck and it is the only neck with a covered board with epoxy.

Who knows maybe back to 2 maybe up to who knows.
 
Why? Your collection is well within "reasonable parameters" by TB standards! :D:thumbsup::roflmao::bassist:

I was perfectly happy with one for several years. But then deals too good to pass up on a VP and a white CP came along... (All Thunderbirds.) They each have different missions. So long as nothing like a Dan Armstrong plexi or old Hagstrom comes along at a steal, I'm safe at three.
