You Know You Have Too Many Basses When...

[bottomend!]

... you pull one out of the stack that hasn't been greased up in over a year, and it blows your freekon mind! For me this just happened with my Bel Air Green G&L L-2000.

Anyone else?

You can never have too many basses.

You refuse to answer the question "how many basses do you have" . . .

When you pull a bass out of a case and you swore you sold it months/years ago.

Happened to me only once, but it made me think I had a problem!

 

[pnchad]

okay let's play (Foxworthy style)

If you don't whats in the cases, you might have too many basses

If you just built a 12' x 20' 'music loft' (which I just did), and you still don't have enough room, you might have too many basses.

If you have ever thought about installing sheet rock over a window so you could hang a few more basses on the wall...

When another bass gets delivered and no one pays any attention to you opening another box with a really great bass inside!

When you say this is the last bass I will ever buy and your wife says thats what yiu said the last( insert a number) times

Yeah, you can. There's a point where it starts to get silly. And that point is around 8-10.

Just my opinion here, no skinning me alive.

You have to label the cases because you're not quite sure what's in them and you line them up against the wall in alphabetical order by make/model so they're easier to find.

... and check.

These are early/amateur signs of addiction. ;-)

 

[RxFunk]

You have too many when you spend more time maintaining them than actually playing them.

 

[oleskool]

When some guy you see playing in Mc Donalds ask you what type of bass do you have, you spout off a few of the basses you own, and then say and a couple more because you can't remember. At the end of the conversation you can tell he thinks you were lying because you didn't know. True story. happened to me a few days ago. saw some guy playing a double neck lead on top bass on bottom. He noticed that I was wearing a shirt with a baas clef.

Or...when the woman you're lovin' runs off with your wife.

... when your home is full of basses but the rent is unpaid and the fridge is empty. Other than that, I can't really buy into the "too many" notion.

Hey! my rent IS paid...is 2/3 still bad?

 

[FretNoMore]

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit too heavy right now. An empty fridge can be a plus.

 

[Jaco Taco]

It would cost thousands of dollars to restring them all.
