How many basses do you own?

Common perception is that bass players don’t have as many instruments as guitarists, I’m not so sure, I think most bass players have two or three instruments or more!

    But I almost exclusively play guitar these days.  Should sell a couple.

    Five, I think. One is a parts donor; one is in bits awaiting a conversion from a Bronco to Mustang bass; one is waiting for a new high mass bridge to be fitted; one is awaiting some new pick up screws having been rebuilt; and one is my current playing bass. So, is that one or five?

    3. No 4.
    Maybe 5. 6?
    Er, can we just say a few.

    Calling me a bass player would be pushing it, though.

    I'm not really a bass player these days but I do own 1 bass, which I'm trying to sell.

    2 + a 4/6 doubleneck. So 3. I've just sold 2 though and a mate had an acoustic bass stashed here for a while, so if you had asked a month or so ago I would have said 6.

    25 + a Stick. 

    Some of the above are in a state of dishabille, awaiting minor wiring alterations. I really ought to dispose of some of the less frequently played ones.
    Be seeing you.

    Just the 1 - a Sire Marcus Miller V7 4 String and I sold my 2nd, a Spector/Kramer Euro to feed my guitar fund, which paid off.

    I do feel slightly vulnerable at gigs and not having a back up but I hope to get another Sire and that should be suffice.

    2.  
     
    My old Geddy Lee Jazz and a Cabronita precision.

    At some point I’ll add a 5 string again but I don’t need that for current gigs.

    If you have four one-string basses, a highly lucrative career awaits you in the entertainment industry. ;)
