Jacques has 7 basses.
He buys 2 more. 
What does he have now?

Happiness.

I think both Florida and Auburn look good with orange and blue uniforms, especially Florida which has a more classic look.  For basses, I'm not sure, but I might consider it.  In recent years, I often give a priority to black for basses, though.

I have seven basses at the moment and it gives me space anxiety! If any little Alankos come along then bass space will have to be sacrificed!

I can relate.  I'm also having a problem now with not enough bass space.

Well you will have to switch to fiddles and mandos or just suck it up.

My grandfather played the fiddle.  But I was too young to have much of an idea of what was going on.  I have a friend that I've known since we were teenagers.  He is a music virtuoso.  Plays keyboards in a country band and teaches music at a community college.  The mandolin, though, is one of his favorite instruments.  What I like is listening to him play bass.  It's note perfect and if you're not careful it can be discouraging.  He gives private jazz bass lessons.  I've taken lessons from him, but it was very long ago when we were teenagers.

Good thing you don't collect tympani and tubas.

When it comes to bass, it seems I always only need just one more.  It has been that way for years.  Continual self-deception.

Twenty something including a 3/4 sized upright . We have a small house with a good sized yard . Thankfully Herself looks upon a nice looking bass as art . Speaker cabs are a harder sell . I'm looking at amps more now than basses and I'm pretty well amped . I'd love to find a Monique by Jule ...
There's always something .

I have around 15, although a few of them are really no longer worth bothering with.

Some time ago I mentally narrowed it down to four basses I would take with me if I suddenly had to leave my house and didn't know when I could return.  I was thinking about that kind of stuff even before the world started turning apocalyptic.
