Don't rule out the B2. I loooooove those necks. They have the same profile as early 70's Fenders, really slim.

Why the older version specifically?

If I was Jaco, I would've been dead by now.

My hearing protection is white. Last week I received my new IEMs and they are purple and have my initials on them. Love it.

Excellent question.

And I would also argue that if you do not own a bass guitar now, buying one because you have a gig and can't play without a bass, it wouldn't count as a fail

Hmmm have to disagree there. I'm in bands where going IEM is not a choice. I also do substitute gigs with bands where going IEM is not a choice. These days you have to have IEMs if you do cover band shows. It's a professional necessity.

The difference is only the finish. The vintage reissues have nitro lacquer. The Artist series have a thin poly finish. Someone at Talkbass asked Höfner a few years back: So, as usual, Google AI is wrong.

And Google AI is often wrong.

Oh and I'm expecting my new IEMs somewhere later this month. But I already paid for those a few weeks ago.

Basses already on order don't count

Well, as long it's in 2027...

I am in for Tier 2. I have a De Gier Bebop coming in June but I ordered that last October so it doesn't count. I'm not planning on buying anything else. Amps, cables, pedals, I'm set. For now. My gf and I have agreed that if I buy another bass before I take delivery of my Bebop, one of my USA Laklands has to go. Aaaaaand I don't want that.

I was lucky and got one of the rare Bass Synths for sale here in NL. It's still in the post so I'll probably receive it by Tuesday. Can't wait!
