Which TB'er has the largest bass collection?

I'm sure there's people here with more but I'm currently at 37 basses.

 

Tom Bowlus I'm guessing. There was CT Bass & Birdsong who had a bunch but I haven't seen him around for a while.

 

What about the guy with something like 60 Dingwalls?

 

There is a 50+ basses owned thread on TB.

 

I sold a few over the past year to help pay wedding expenses, so it looks like I'm down to 33

I know a TB'er that has more than 80 Fender Pre CBS, 15 Foderas, and 50 other basses...

 

This is beyond words amazing. You have more money in basses than I have in life insurance.

I was gonna say Ric5 has to be in the running, provided he actually keeps all those beauties he has made.

 

holy crap i need a better job..... that said, can you really get use out of 50 basses? I would have to assume atleast 10+ never get touched...

 

This.

CT has his own Bass museum type thing, IIRC.

 

I am definitely passing this on by the wife. You guys are the poopiezle! I am such the amateur.

 

Indeed, that's probably true of a collection of anything. Some just get played on special occasions.

 

Absolutely! +1.

My 12 or 13 basses (that total to me worth more than many people's cars!) are nowhere near the league of some of these TBers!

Wow!

I'm just trying to keep it under 6 at all times... I forget what is in what case or where they are otherwise.

 

I only have what I use. I had six, but sold four of them.

 

I know a gentleman named Scotty who has well over 300. Not sure if he's currently on TB.

 

Are you serious?

 

well, MY buddy has over 600 basses
