This reminds me of a Billy Sheehan puff-piece in Bass Player back in the '90s. Sycophantic interview aside, the article included a full-page diagram of Sheehan's studio rig. There were several DIs,amps, limiters, compressors, effects, EQs, splitters and a bunch of cabs - one with a servo-assisted cone!! I wish I still had that magazine so I could post them diagram but the best way to describe it would be like a Powerpoint slide, with objects linked my multiple paths. Bizarre.

Or are you going to stop when you hit 3 digits??

Are you mad, man? Have you ever even contemplated what new possibilities those three digits give? ;)
On the Music Man forum, there's a guy who owns more than 300 Music Man instruments, 320 IIRC, and I seem to remember all of them are basses too.
Seriously. Not that I condone it, of course.

Wow.

Just, wow.

Imagine the insurance premium on that! 320 instruments at upwards of £1000 each?

Yeah, indeed.
Got it confirmed that it was 320 basses quite some months ago, probably more now, and not even counting the basses he owns that are from other brands.
I tried to quickly calculate in my head what they had costed, most of them even being expensive limited editions, but when I saw how dazzling the amount was, I just dropped it.

BTW; I do have way too much gear myself as well, and am even aiming at 12 basses / 5 amps / 8 cabs, but once I have that much, I'm not going to sell away some of it until I know all that gear a lot better.

So we'll never really know what his bass actually sounds like!
