Members MTMTEX Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 On the flip side of Solderjunkies thread I am up to 23 basses, and probably another 10 guitars. I don't play guitar. I can't get rid of anything, and constantly scour CL for the next great deal. To be honest its starting to drive me crazy. But as soon as I start to think I would like to start thinning the herd I rationalize all kinds of reasons (non really valid) why I shouldn't. I need therapy.

Members jasper383 Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have 8 basses and 1 electric guitar currently, and haven't had a paying gig in probably three years. My basses seem to fit into two categories which keep me from selling them: not worth the effort would be too painful if they sold for too little I know I could get it down to maybe three (4,5 and fretless), but if I don't need the money, they stay.

Members Renfield Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Congrats. The most I ever had in the collection at any single given point of time was 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BigPigPeaches Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well, I'm rebuilding the guitar rack in my office to make room for more, so I wish I could say I feel your pain, but that will only happen if I cut my finger off with a circular saw.

I was thinking about you this morning. While looking for my next smoking deal on CL there is a guy down here selling a Warrior 6 string. I am currently reviewing my finances in a sad attemp to acquire number 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MTMTEX Posted October 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Congrats. The most I ever had in the collection at any single given point of time was 17. What is sad is I really want to get rid of some to get the last few missing pieces of live sound equipment I need. I absolutely freak out at the thought of getting rid of anything I have.

Members jasper383 Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 When I get ready to sell a bass, I always "think" I'm going to really miss it, but I don't after it's gone. There are only two basses I wish I hadn't sold: a G&L L-2500 that was beautiful, and red Stingray 4 that weighed a little less than 9 pounds.

I seem to recall you're not a fan of 6ers? Stick it out for a 4-banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to send me the Musicmaster or the Jazz copy or the Axcelerator. That way I get to add a little to my collection and you get to slim yours down. Everyone's a winner!
