Who's kept all of their basses?
- Thread starter v1paul
- Start date
Nope. Sold my MusicMan Stingray5 for a Spector Legend 6 Classic within months of owning (didn't like the lack of good tone on the B... I blame the scale). And I'm going to be trading my P-Bass for a Rickenbacker 4003 soon.

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
All but one - an american delux P5 - absolutely hated the way it sounded.
I figure I have a great 4 and 5. I'll maybe add a warmoth P and P/J 5 (and maybe a fretless to futz around w/) and then I may never buy another bass again!:scowl:

You don't want to do that. Trust me.
pardon our recently departed (deleted) trolls, folks. apparently secondary school's out in australia for zac, aaron and the crew, and since they're in a band together, i guess they're trying to look cool.

I still have every single one. I posted the list on the welcome thread, but here's the list.
Washburn B-2 - This is an entry level bass. The action wasn't good but what do you expect from a $199 bass? It is the bass I learned on. My very first one.
Spector NS2A - This is a Korean made Spector. I purchased this at a Guitar Center back in 1990. I saved up $800 back in 1990 to buy this when I was 16 years old. It was sold under the Kramer name (Kramer went out of business less than a year later). It is the best playing bass that I have. This is the one I use for shows.
Ibanez Soundgear SR400 - I purchased this used about a 1 1/2 years ago (I can't quite remember). It's a solid bass. I use it in my jam sessions.
Peavey Foundation - I have no idea how old this one is. I remember a friend had one in the 80's. I bought this with the Soundgear above for a package total of $275 from a guy off of Craigslist who was only advertising the SR400.
ESP LTD Surveyor 405 - The newest addition. I've only had it for one month. This is my first 5 string bass and I want to experiment with the low "B".
Me. So far, I've got all 7. My first is no longer playable (Vox Cougar hollowbody with hockey-stick neck), so it's going to hang on the wall. And I may give my second (Ibanez P bass copy from the '80s) to a friend's daughter--it's on the heavy side, though.
The other five have all been purchased since I started playing again two and a half years ago. One or two may eventually be sold so I can get a U.S. Lakland.

I sure do, all 8 of 'em (even all 6 of my guitars)! However, I have always been a very meticulous buyer and have purchased each of my instruments with keeping them in mind. Each of them still get used, each one is better at a certain function than the others. (AKA: I still haven't found the all-purpose bass yet.
