If you own more than one ball...

[ashiin]

I'm sure there's something like this posted before, but yeah.

If you have more than 1 bass guitar. Do you have one preferred "main" ball or do you spread it out equally between them?

I play my 5 string all the time now, i gig with it and everything. I'm starting to feel like i'm not giving my 30th enough love (i just play her once in a while now...)

I don't want to sell it nor leave it sitting there so i'm trying all my best to play around with it, taking it to my next gig too.

So what do you do for those people with 2 balls or maybe more?!

I play all of mine, the Sterling’s a little more than the Bongos right now, but that's subject to change at any time. Depends mostly on which one is in a case or hanging on the wall.

I have three EBs and two others, and I play them all but some get more attention than others at any given time. The 30th Stingray gets the most love these days.

Sometimes it really is what's easiest to grab.

Other times, I think, "Ah, where did that one get off to?" and I won't be happy with anything else.

My original HHp Bongo 5 with flats was getting the majority of the love until I put roundwounds on my Dargie 5H Bongo. Now that they sound so different, I find that I am playing both of them about equally.

My fretless goes to about half the gigs, and it gets used for at least a set when it goes.


So, that's the breakdown for me.

Since I got the green one I play it mostly, which is why I just sold the orange one I guess...

My Lava Pearl Sterling H from DuBaldo Music Center is my #1

It replaced my old #1 which I had used for 13 years!

Currently my Sparkle Ray gets most of the play in band context.

At home, I love to play the NAMM bass.

The Dargie is a bit neglected, but I love to look at it


Currently I'm just too chicken to take the rare ones out on rehearsals or gigs. But their time will come...



BTW, ashiin, you can send me your 30th, I'll give it some love at no extra charge...

i used to rotate them. i played a different one every month. i have recently retire my 77 ray due to the fact that the paint is chipping.

but tobias' are ace... ah well, when my sub arrives i'll probably play that more... although the tobias is so much prettier.

Mine get rotated, but the Bongo HH is my "go to" EBMM.
