You don't *need* more than two or three to be an effective bass player (Fretted and fretless, maybe a 5 string) but the rest just makes things go a little smoother and slightly better sounding. You don't need them though, unless you play every genre ever

Ok so I was bored and decided to calculate approximately how much all of these basses cost. It lands at approximately $ 95,000 us dollars and that's not including the Arco Acoustic, the crazy double neck, the off-brand violin bass, and the thinline jazz bass because I could not for the life of me find any prices for those. Assuming those ones not included cost at least a couple thousand each, this totals at well over $100 grand. That's around the price of the last house I lived in.

I've got four basses so far, one acoustic, two electric 4 strings, one of those is a nice squier jazz, and the other is an 80s Kramer Striker, kinda falling apart, but it's got a PJ setup which is handy for jazzier stuff. Then there's the 5 string jazz style bass that I got for $100 from a company called Glarry. Took a chance cause it was cheap, and I actually quite like it, though the pickups run real hot, and it has a cheap feel due to the wood and dry neck/fretboard.

neggit Yeah. A lot of them play Music Man, too. I play Music Man Sterlings (the bass model, not the import budget line) probably 80% of the time, the rest being split between fretted and fretless P-basses (really, Jazz basses with P pickups, never liked the look or neck of a P much), a Warwick Thumb BO, and fretted and fretless Tacoma Thunderchiefs with K & K PureBass pickups for when I want to jam unplugged with a fiddle, clawhammer banjo or mandolin (not both, Tacomas are loud but not that loud, haha!), and guitar as kind of an upright substitute (fretless with Rotosound TruBass strings gets you close enough) or when I want that 'Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged' sort of tone. I actually almost never play metal, I play a lot of funk, jazz fusion, sludgy stoner rock, and alt-country, but I play pretty aggressively and like a punchy, funky bass tone most of the time. EBMM and Warwick deliver that in spades.

Bart Soeters is a ridiculously amazing player with lots of sexy basses, and totally underrated.

1:45 I absolutely love how the piano just rises and rises in energy at this part and then it has the brilliant phrasing at 1:58 Phenomenal!
