The only people who care what you play are you and other musicians, punters don’t know or care.
I’ve realised the price tag doesn’t equate to anything other than what you might lose or gain in the future.
I’ve bonded with very expensive basses and equally £100 things.
Recently took a punt on a broken bodied 6 string for a £100 and that and my £120 53 year old Hofner jazz bodied precision are currently what I pick up to play.
My Wal has only left it’s case for photos and a clean in the last 10 years, same with the Warwick’s.
