I just wondered what everyones age was (lets all be thruthfull ;) )So many people with many MM basses and i just wondered how everyone comes up with money to pay for it all. Im struggling to get an extra £100 for my 15" cab, althought i dont have a job right now :(

Anywho im 16 :D
 
I'm 20.
Worked for the most of my equipment, but in the pre-EB and pre-decent amp phase, I got a bass and amp from my mother :D
 
I'm 43, have a good job and am also in a band that gets paid well, plus I buy and sell a bunch of stuff on ebay to raise GAS funds
 
You guys make me feel ancient at close on 59. I've been collecting gear over the years. Now I'm semi-retired I don't have much spare cash for GAS but like Aussie Mark I buy and sell stuff on Ebay. Oh and I still play regularly.
 
52...I'm a commercial photographer by day and bassplayer by night.I do five regular lineups and sub in some others.( just got in from a sub gig for one of my favourite bassists).I try to keep the gas down to one bass a year.Only do gigs in town that I think I will enjoy.....only play for fun but I am a gig pig.Been gigging steadily since the early 70's....playing since I was in grade 6.
 
Ok. Let's see if I can do it right this time :o

45 and I'm a software developer for a large corp that provides data to law enforcement (police depts), and gov't agencies (FBI, DEA, etc...). We help find missing kids, criminals and terrorists. :)

Oh right. The purchasing part. Well basically I just keep it simple. All I've really got is a SUB and a Sterling on the way. I work pretty much full time as a chef/sub for everything else at a local resturaunt and most of my money goes to helping out around the house these days so basically when I don't have to pay for everythign else I make sure to put money aside. Also I tend to oversee things like clothes, or video games, so unless my money's going towards the house it's usually just adding up untill my next find comes along.
