Wow I'm quite a wh*re

[TimBosby]

Once my latest purchase arrives, I'll have owned 30 basses since I lost my bass-virginity in 1994. 28 of those in the last 5 years...yeesh...

 

[willsellout]

That's nothing. I've probably doubled that

 

[BZadlo]

Lot of talk...lets see lists and pics!

 

[zbasstringer]

lists, pics, and sound clips.

 

[willsellout]

Now that's difficult..over the past 10 years...man I'll try and gather a list together. Pics won't be possible I don't think

Thread title fail.

 

[TimBosby]

Apparently I can't count..my number is at 31, not 30

No sound clips handy but the most I ever paid for any single bass was $750 for my G&L, brand spankin' new, back in 1997.

Working on a family photo sometime soon.

you know the rules! no pics, no basses!

 

[TimBosby]

You're right. I lied. I'm a virgin. Why am I even on this website?

 

[Baird6869]

I must be 25+ in the last 2 years and still own about a dozen.

I will pull together a list....

 

[Connor]

am i the only poor person on this forum?

 

[DTSH]

am i the only poor person on this forum?

Nope. I've owned a grand total of... 7 basses in 17 years. Most at one time was 3. And only one of them cost more than 500 bucks.

 

[dinghy]

I have owned 4 basses total, but the total cost of all of them is still less than a MIA Fender or a Stingray.

Instruments are the reason I am poor!

 

[patzilla83]

am i the only poor person on this forum?

not by a long shot.

i've owned 13 different basses in as many years, but again never more than 3 at a time (only 2 right now). most people get something, hang on to it for a while, then end up selling it for something else. at least that's the case with me. IIRC, i think i've had maybe 1 or 2 basses that weren't acquired without a trade or by selling something.

 

[bad_andy]

Former basses: T-40, EB-0, Roadstar II, Hohner B2B, Olympia ABG, some Harmony beater from Sears and a Fernandes Jazz. Plus the ones in my sig line makes 12. I guess that's pretty average for 14 years on the job.

 

[quigg]

I've owned 4 basses:
1. B.C. Rich Warlock with a widow headstock ('00-'02)
2. Ibanez BTB 6 string ('02- )
3. Squier P bass ('04- )
4. Warwick Vampyre LTD 5 ('08- )
(I've got a warmoth explorer P/P in the works now)

 

[Doodaddy]

Maybe we should start a club.

I still only own one bass, my first.

 

[Jefenator]

Wouldn't this make you more of a "pimp"?

 

[vinxbass]

Someone please explain to me what bass virginity is.
