Also, a Taylor (my daughter's name) and a PRS.
And a Martin.
For now.

Well, to elaborate, none of the basses I currently own were all that expensive. I usually buy used. I'm happy to put up with a few dings in order to get a bass for 1/2 what it would cost new. And nope, no kids. But I always knew there wouldn't be - I knew as early as my teens that I just wasn't cut out to be a parent and really didn't want to be one. (I'm sure we've all met parents who really should have been that honest with themselves.)someone called simon wrote:This seems so weird to me. I guess this forum is populated by a lot of people who make heaps of money in a good jobs and can buy heaps of guitars… no kids maybe? I make about half my very modest income from playing live as a guitarist, and I have 2 that I play live, one average quality Aria ES 335 copy and MIJ tele. Also a Yamaha electric at home, which theoretically belongs to my son (actually we went halves on the tele too!), and a seagull acoustic. And one amp, though it is a good one, a Swart AST…
Well, over the years, like anything else, you accumulate things. Personally, for me, I can't bring myself to part with any musical instrument. I still have the cheap nylon dreadnaught that I "borrowed" from my college roommate 30 years ago. I learned to play on that thing, and I didn't mind that it was festooned with duct tape and travel stickers like he did.someone called simon wrote:This seems so weird to me.

I've been fortunate in my life to never suffer that level of insecurity. However, I was merely trying to illustrate that accumulating guitars (and other artifacts) doesn't necessarily require "heaps" of money.tapper mike wrote:We may not be able to fully recognize Simon's predicament. As hard as it may seem now to believe... Twice in my life I was homeless and busking out a hand to mouth existence. I was hoping to be arrested on vagrancy charges just for food and shelter.
