Do any fellow TB'ers have only one manufacturer or have a majority of one manufacturer? If so, why?

I'm thinking if I had the cash, I'd probably never buy more than one of a particular brand...

Your thoughts????

If I had the money, it'd be mostly Fender, MusicMan and G&L, with a few Wals thrown in, in addition to a couple of other basses like a Rick, and ESP or two etc.

Seeing as I don't have the money, it seems to be my two squires... and an ESP.

Mostly these...

While I do own other basses (Spector, Fender, EBMM, Ibanez & Hamer, just to name a few), something about the look, feel and sound of Rickenbacker basses keeps me coming back for more.

No, seriously, I consider "collecting" sort of a tragedy. I mean, it's NOT really, but I still feel like the teenager who could only afford a Kay Rickenbacker knock-off, watching bands smash guitars, hear people talk about the basses they never play, and getting sort of angry about it (and that was a LONG time ago). Intellectually I realize people should do with their money what they want to, but in my gut it still sort of rankles.

So now days, when I realize I have more basses than I can play, I try and convert them into something I WILL play. The idea of having a room with stuff in it I just look at... it's a foreign concept to me.

Don't be a Yngwie!
