I’ve always had at least one bass since the age of 17 (many moons ago), and can’t imagine being without, so you have my sympathies.
Life’s a big wheel though, sometimes you’re down in the mud, but then thing come back around.
Keep your chin up and your low end LOW Bubibga5, I have every faith in the kindness of the average Basschat member, and would offer you a bass to borrow myself if I were a few hundred miles closer.
