Dread Bass Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) How often do you have to change strings? it must cost you a fortune. I want to have a big collection but i'm up to 9 just now. Plenty of time i'm only 25. Ah just noticed you have a string endorsement Edited October 13, 2009 by metaltime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It's an amazing collection & you clearly have more basses than the average music shop would normally stock at any one time! Purely as a point of interest I once sold my Jack Cassady bass to a guy on EBay who had 135 instruments. Funny thing, he was divorced. I really like the attention to detail. I only really know Fender basses as they are what I keep going back to (so can't comment on Pangbourn and the like) but you really do seem to have it all covered with an impressive range of Squiers and Fenders.

Ideally, I'd love some really old Fender's but money is always fairly tight, being a full time player - people around here (Peterborough) think I'm minted what with having the Bentley on the drive and eight bedrooms but in reality I'm Mr Overdraft! Being a kid in the 80's meant that I could only lust after Statii, JayDees etc (my paper round meant an Aria Cat Active was my only boutique bass!) so I guess I'm making up for it now!
