I guess it’s all about how you do things. In the past I’ve sold stock Squire machine heads on a used bass for £25-30 on eBay/Gumtree and bought used Hipshot or Schaller ones for £50ish and stock Squire pickups for £30ish and bought used Dimarzio Model P/EMG GZR/Tonerider for £60ish so spending £50 or £60 in total. Even after doing so as the bass was used to start with it’s still a couple of hundred quid cheaper than a stock new one. Money well spent for me but others will have a different point of view.

I’m not sure this is limited to second hand instruments more of a fundamental restructuring of the global economy. Inflation was being artificially reported and central banks have been in denial for a decade. A 1970’s style inflationary spike was inevitable before Covid and now thanks to Putin it will be turbo charged. Bit off topic sorry. The good news is that there are a lot of great instruments at reasonable prices out there. Personally I’ve never been attracted to “new” for the sake of it. If I can buy a well loved instrument locally that has been well set up and has better pickups and hardware than it left the factory with it is more appealing than waiting months for arrival, messing about waiting for couriers etc.
