    In response to how many basses....

    I now own about 15 basses and 20 plus ukuleles. Before my divorce...I owned 1 bass for 40 years----a '65 Precision. I am obviously trying to compensate for losing my wife, my 3 daughters and my home. So far its working.

    How many basses do you bring to a gig?

    I'm starting a 7-week contract this summer, playing between 3-4 half hour sets a night six nights a week. I'm planning to bring two basses - one primary and one backup. Am I being overly cautious? I know several do gigs like this on a regular basis. How many basses do you bring to the gig?

    String choices...

    Fingerstyle bass: How many fingers do you pick with?

    Thought this would be an interesting poll. I am trying to work my way up to using four fingers on my non-fretting hand, so I put myself down for 4.

    How Many Basses Do You Take To A Gig?

    I did a quick search and didn't find this question. Multiple votes are allowed. For me personally, my rule is go light or stay home, so I only take 1.

    How many hours you put into music ?

    A recent thread about music sprung an offside discussion about practice time. So how many hours a week do you put into practicing ? I'm not including the time you spend reharsing with you band. Just time along playing music. Learning new things. I vote 5 hours right now.

    How many of you make a living out playing BG?

    Was just wondering if anyone here really earns enough solely out of bass playing? For me it's hard to imagine, unless you have some sort of tenured teaching position, are a multi-instrumentalist, or you are one of the 'big names' and can put your name on a bass cab or something :)

    Why so many Thunderbirds sold from Japan on ebay?

    I wanted to check prices on Gibson Thunderbirds on ebay and practically every one of them was sold from Japan. Is there a reason for this? I mean, if it was a Roland Space Echo I could understand why but Thunderbirds??? Am I missing something here?

    Why so many forced dichotomies?

    So many polls or opinion question threads on this and other forums limit your choice to one or the other of something. When did we become so simpleminded? Why is having and using a variety of gear in a variety of contexts so hard to accept? Why do people keep responding! Gaaah!

    I used to own something like 15-16 a couple of years ago, now I only have 9, so I thought I was improving nicely. However, THAT thread that popped up yesterday made me realise that 9 is far from ideal. I will never be a great if I have 9 basses. It seems I need just 1-3 basses to be great, and...
