I currently have 8, two out for repairs, but need to get back down to 4 which is what my wife thinks I have. Problem is they are all so damn good. I’m gonna have some painful decisions to make soon :-(

Just one. So far, lol. My '92 Pilot which I bought new. I love the thing. I miss it at gigs and rehearsals. It was a machine, and will be again. It's my practice bass until I can find somewhere to repair the carelessly and incorrectly assembled wiring harness that came straight from the factory that way. Seriously, one of the very wise ones here told me the pots were from 02/1982, which makes me kind of angry. I wasn't expecting to pay for ten year old pots in a new guitar, factory dudes! <===Sorry about that, I just had to get it off my chest. I'll not mention it again.

We are also holding a '64 Guild Thunderbird guitar for a friend who is in an assisted living facility. I've never tried to play it.

I wanted to buy a new Starfire bass, as I've never owned or even played a hollow body bass, but now I'm kind of hesitant. I want new parts in my new guitar, so they age at roughly the same rate. Right now I'm "stuck" playing my new Rickenbacker 4003. I have pretty much been a Guild and Rickenbacker girl since I started playing bass.

Being an old English teacher, I have to observe that the subject of this interrogative sentence is "community," used here as a collective noun which calls for a singular agreement with the verb phrase. "Guilds" is the object. Therefore the question becomes: " How many Guilds DOES the LTG community OWN. Inverted as a statement, the sentence would read: "The LTG community does own Guilds." ....Grammar policing over :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

My current four (as of yesterday - pictures soon) feels exceedingly modest. One is on the market, though

I'm sure if you posted in bass and asked you could be convinced to try a Starfire bass.

Aside from trying to get the date of a guitar, I see no reason to worry about old pots provided they were never used. It's not like pots go bad just sitting around, and if they were never used they would "age" at the same rate as the guitar. Sometimes older parts are just plain better, too; if you could find NOS CentraLab pots from 1959 people would pay HUGE money for them.
