Who owns the more basses from the same brand?

[mgood]

I have five Carvin basses and one Carvin gee-tar.

1986 V440T Most recent eBay purchase.
1989.5 LB70
2002 BB70WP Bought slightly used.
2003 BB75P
2003 B4F (fretless)
2003 Bolt (guitar)

I used to have another V440T, a 1987 which was my first bass.

I also have two Carvin bass amp stacks.

Old rig:
Pro Bass II head
V410T (4x10)
V115 (1x15)

New rig:
B1500 head
BRX10 (4x10)
BRX12 (2x12)

And a compressor, power strip, headphones, all Carvin. Probably some more stuff I'm forgetting.

Yoshishiro Naruse probably has the biggest collection of Tune basses.

On another note, how do you guys own so many basses?! I mean I can see maybe up to 5 maybe 6 including one double bass but any more seems a little excessive to me. Not bashing anyone, but wow, lol. It's like you would have to fall victim to every single case of GAS you got after looking at a bass that you wanted. That said, I have 2 Spectors, a Euro 6LX and a Euro 4LX that should be at my doorstep tomorrow.

I used to have my two babies...MTD's 435 and 535 but sadly had to sell the fiver.

I currently own 15 Peavey USA basses.. had up to 30 when I was on the road

Do I count for still having $$$$ in the bank?

 

[BassAgent]

I have 2 Yamahas, 3 if you count my guitar. I used to have 3 Yamaha basses.

 

[NOLA Bass]

3 Spectors (83 US NS2, NS4, Euro LX-ET) + 3 Fenders (P, Jazz, and Hot Rod P)

 

[Dirk McQuickley]

Well, "The Guilds of Grot" is not too active on Talkbass so I'll chime in for him and let you know that he currently owns 86 guild guitars & basses.

Do I get a few more points for having PAs, Mikes.. 6 string guitar gear, a few amps etc?

 

[Jason Brown]

I was reading the first page of this and wondering why nobody mentioned fullrangebass and his about 1000 Dingwalls before I discovered the thread was about 5 years old.

In my case I run across more than my share of crazy deals. So do I buy the Surtine protocol 7 for $1000 even though I already have "X" number of basses?

Or the $125 68 Jazz... with Silvertone 212 amp? Or the $500 78 Jazz? Or the serial # 29 MTD 635 GC blew out for half of what they were asking? Or the $2500 Fodera Anthony Jackson Contrabass? Or the Ambush bass at a giveaway price? Or a raft of early 60's to 70's basses I picked up for a song?

I think I had around 35 basses when a friend emailed me and offered his almost brand new MPG (Matt Pulcinella) 5 string jazz to me... for $500. That's how I ended up with one more bass

So in a nutshell that's why I have as many basses as I do. almost all of them are still worth more than I paid for them. It's not really GAS IMO, I do the same thing with cars and audio/video gear. If it's relatively inexpensive compared to what it's worth, I'll consider it. Keep it or flip it, it's either cool stuff I can use or free money.

You are, by far, one of the luckiest people I know. If you ever get sick of collecting basses through ridiculous deals pass some my way
