Next question- do you have a photo of them all together? I’m sure it would be a spectacular sight. 

 

I was trying to remember who did the "basses against a fence" photo years ago. That was impressive. @cetera?

I vaguely remember that photo 🤔 Could it have been Nick Smith?

I own seven right now. That's about half of what the count was two years ago.

 

What I'd *really* like is to get down to three, but I don't see it happening since it's tough to sell anything bass-related in my neck of the woods these days.

 

As for everyone else...you know your limits...I guess...

i don't really understand the question?

Yes, I did a basses against a fence pic about 20 years ago. Nick Smith also did the same. Could have been either that you remember....

 I have 19, but the total spend is probably a fraction of what some BCers have spent on a single bass, and as I have= plenty of room...

I've only ever bought two new basses in 35 years. All the rest are 2nd hand/pre-loved/used and/or part exchanges. The bass I'm using for the C&W gig next month (a Squire PJ) cost me £100 and got compliments from our sound engineer at rehearsals.
