Well, would one bass give the disired feel and tone to a particular song especially when one records various genres of songs e.g. basschat comp? I think not.
Would it be morally acceptable to play slap on a legendary heavy metal basisst's signature bass, I think not.
Would one bass, that preserves a selling value be enough to invest your hard earn cash in? I think not
Would you be bothered to keep restringing your bass with flats, rounds etc strings? I think not
Would one, old, battered, very heavy bass be practicable to hang down your shoulders to play a 2-3 hour gig, I think not.
Would you take your most expensive , loved bass to play a gig in the roughest pub, I think not.
My answer to the post is, I think not.
