What do you call your basses collectively?

[RyanOh]

Sometimes people describe their basses as a "collection", but I'm wondering if there are other terms associated with basses you have. There are different basses for different styles of music, occasions, etc. If you're a gigging musician, you have to decide which basses to bring with you for an audition, particular gig, etc.

Think "flock" of birds, "quiver" of arrows.

I mean hey, nobody just has ONE bass

I call them my basses.

I use "herd" because herds thunder.

 

[Selta]

They're my instruments, or my tools. I don't "collect" them. I buy them to use them. This is also true of the other instruments I own - guitars, cellos, piano, keyboards, ocarinas, and so on.

Overspending?

I once got excited because PBS has a show called Bassmasters. Wasn't what I thought :/

In my defense though, I once saw a PBS program with Bootsy Collins and I'm pretty sure it was called Bass Master. I was hoping for a repeat airing.

mine ...

every instrument gets some sort of personal touch ... built from parts , modded , programmed , etc ... that makes them uniquely " mine " ..!

I only have one bass, so I call it "my baby".

Mine are most definitely feral.
