  1. Seven. But as that's over 25 years I don't feel too bad about that.

    Fretless Precision Lyte
    75 RI Japanese Jazz
    71 RI Japanese Precision (flats)
    Cheap Spector 4 string (forget which model, but PJ pickups make it perfect for my occasional metal gigs)
    Shine 8-string
    Hofner Contemporary Violin Bass (40th birthday gift to myself)
    Cheap electro-acoustic which I'll get defretted one of these days.

    Plus 3 electric guitars, an acoustic, couple of ukuleles and a borrowed mandolin.

    Sounds pretty reasonable actually...

  2. I play a Shine one - picked it up pretty cheaply on here as an entry point, and I'm very pleased with it - decent to play, decent sound.
    This one in fact; http://basschat.co.uk/topic/138206-shine-8-eight-string-bass-for-saletrade/

    I saw a clip of someone playing a converted Spector and that sounded awesome (tuned D-A-D-G - I do the same). I remember someone also converting a P-bass to 8 string which looked great.

  3. When I play rock or soul it's pretty much a straight 4 string with rounds or flats.

    When I play functions then it may be an octave, chorus or filter to approximate the bass on various recordings

    When I play with my sefardic Mediterranean band, then I use octave, filter, tremolo, delay, drive, phase, freeze... (Not all at once).

    The conclusion is that the dirtier the guitars, the fewer effects I use.
