Vote With A Bullet - Corrosion of Conformity

As with everything, a lot will depend on how much you have to spend on a case. As has been said, modern, padded gig-bags are a really good investment. Even the low-mid end bags available should be pretty good. If you want a hard case, then there is a good selection available, some can be pretty heavy on top of the weight of the bass, but will give you piece of mind when travelling with it. Do some research/web searches before you buy anything.

Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield

Not learning more theory and spending time practicing. Turning that offer down to audition for that name band. Selling that Westone Thunder 1A. Being left with no option but to sell that 4003.

Shut Up and Dance - Walk the Moon

I do believe that it is a thing, especially with the singers that I've worked with. Though as it's been said, they're the one's with the cajones to be the "focal point" of the band, so it does kind of take someone with a certain kind of ego to do it (and/or narcissistic tendencies).

Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers

Obviously a little bit of everything.

My set up certainly won't set other bass player's hearts-a-flutter, but it works for me.

We Care A Lot - Faith No More

Hitting the nail on the head.

Monster player.
