Hollow body madness!

[Pinball]

Years ago I bought a crafter acoustic bass learned the hard way that "acoustic basses can be feedback monsters", so gave them a wide birth for years. That was until 2019, when I got my beloved semi-hollow Peerless Cassidy bass. Then a couple of months back I scored a smart, Gretsch short scale, which I noodle with and play at work when I'm learning stuff. All well and good but things have now got out of control.

My aim was to sell but Instead of selling I traded my jazz for a Lakland hollow Body bass. I bought a Dearmond Starfire bass locally about 2 weeks ago, which is currently getting its electrics sorted, and now I bought a Spectocore fretted 5 as my spare for gigging. My head hurts!

I consider myself lucky but maybe I'm just going nuts! 

1. I can't keep em all, which do I keep?

2. Where an I going to store them even??

3. Will the Spectorcore be good for rock and metal 😂?

4. Am I insane?? No need to answer the last one!

1. Keep the ones that you can't imagine yourself being without, or which you love the sound of. (In my own personal case, I keep the ones that earn me money. Everything beyond my core 6-7 is up for grabs.)

 

2. I currently have 9 basses stored in a very small music room/extension. Nae problem.

 

3. The Spectorcore might be a little on the soft side for metal material, but with that bity EMG, will probably hold its own in the average rock band.

 

4. Nah. You're just a bass player who wants to be fully equipped. Nothing wrong with that.  

 

Btw, I forgot to add... "He who dies with the most toys wins!"
