Keavin,

I'm down to two and holding (for now). I've had a total of six over time. A couple times I've had three simultaneously.

I started with an '83 Spoiler, traded that for an '87 Stanley Clarke, then picked up a '74 Series I small body (lonnnng story to that one) and a '79 Series II small body.

I eventually sold the Stanley Clarke and the Series II to fund the purchases of the two I still have. Lastly, I sold the '74 Series I because it was gathering dust. I think I'm regretting that sale.

The two I have will be with me and eventually inherited by my kids. I may have to seriously consider one of the balance point bodies with a heart omega, probably fretless. I'll save that for a REALLY good bonus year.

Peace,

James

James I think every collection needs one of the balance point omegas. Fretted or fretless, or both. I just got a Thumb Bass so it's probably to early to convince Senior Management that we have an omega deficit.
