I'll give my usual, cheery, encouragement, then...
It's the first forty years that are the hardest, after which things tend, sometimes, to get (slightly...) better.
I doubt you'll be [i]needing [/i]'better' gear at all, still less after only 10 weeks (but it's not a bad idea to be interested in different stuff...). Anyway, by then, you'll already be in two bands..!

New gear will be on the cards sometime soon. I only have a small car and after 1 hour of bass ownership I'm already growling about it not fitting in the bloody boot of my car. A future Steinberger purchase is looking more on the cards now if only for it's compact size.
