Apologies to one and all. I got it wrong. The ideal number of basses is NOT nine as I had droned on about earlier in this thread.

After further deep regression analysis (and the recent purchase of "just one more" bass), it's now clear to me where I got my assumptions wrong. The ideal number has nothing to do with not getting into double figures to assist us in shielding our mischief from our better halves, as I had previously incorrectly assumed, but everything to do with the number of fingers on both hands to enable us to properly count them.

The ideal number is actually TEN.

As you were folks. I will be issuing a press release to this effect shortly.

Au contraire..... the ideal number is as many as you can fit in your room/cupboard/storage facility! ;) lol!

That's all very well for you to say, you blue-veined custard chucking Member with a zillion gorgeous Spectors and sundry other basses...

The ideal for me, based on the amount of space I have available, is four basses. Unfortunately, I have seven, though one (Ibanez 6 string) is currently for sale. That leaves the tricky question of which other two are going to have to go.

Currently I have:

Fender US Standard Precision x 2

Fender US Professional Jazz

EBMM Stingray

Am keeping those, I’ve then got the following which I’ll be putting up for grabs once the world returns to some form of normality:

Fender Player Precision (buttercream/maple)

Squier VM77 Jazz (Black/maple, Fender 74 pickups)

Vintage V4 Tony Butler (refin in Oly white)

And I’m still considering getting  a 5-string..........

What if you come a family rife with in-breeding and actually have 6 fingers on each hand?

I can only imagine your storage facility covers a similar amount of acreage to Heathrow. 😉

So does the new Sire make 10 or has there been another NBD😀

Mine holds 4 and I currently only have 3... 😬 

Mine holds 7, 6 basses (one sold awaiting collection) and one little Ibanez SA which covers any guitar parts I do (would prefer an Epiphone Lucille - but won’t spend on one)
