[A9X]

No. I've had somewhere near 200 and many were bought just to try and see if I liked them. Most are gone, and I currently have 23, but I don't think I've ever had more than 30 on hand at a time. I can list all the important ones to me, like the XL2, the Alembics, Status and the Ibanezes I really like.

Most of what I have now will be sold, but the market is at the bottom right now and I don't really need the money, so why give them away? I would give some away to young or disadvantaged people and intend to do that after the move in association with my Church. Plus look for guitars, basses and amps that I can get for little and refurb to pass on in the same way.

 

[lbbc]

Not really

 

[2112]

No, I can't... but I can tell you there was 4 of them.

Das it mane...

 

[GeneralElectric]

Definitely not. I can definitely tell you the ones I regret getting rid of!

 

[Passinwind]

Sure, I can remember all ten going back to 1972 pretty readily. Could I name them? Yeah, but I ‘ve always thought giving them names was kind of lame.

 

[GIBrat51]

Remember them? Why, yes...yes, I can. Since I still own all but one of the 24 I've ever bought, it's pretty easy. But, like Passinwind, I don't name them. Basses are like cats; they don't come when I call them, so why bother... Next question?

 

[pbass74]

Yes because I only had owned three before TalkBass--only bought two of those. Now I have seven minus the first one I sold back in '75. Thanks TalkBass, TalkGass!

[Sam Evans]

Not too difficult for me. I've only owned nine basses since I started playing in '87, and I still have four of them.

BTW, I think when the OP said "name" they meant "specify" rather than "give a proper name to."

[moon-bass]

I didn't keep track over the years. I did a lot of "try it to see if I like it" types of purchases/sales, a lot of nostalgia purchases, and went through quite a few Fenders to find the right ones.

Every once in awhile I'll come across a bass that I used to own on either here or Reverb. There are a few that I regret selling.
