NickD Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't think we can assist you in coming to the right decision unless we know what the bass in question is. I'd feel terrible knowing I'd prevented you from buying a Fodera for example, but equally terrible if I'd not helped prevent you from buying a 1976 Kay's Catalogue EB-1 copy.

Low End Bee Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Too late now. Just live with your decision and enjoy the shiny new bass. Unless it's a Jazz that is. If so send it back and demand a refund or leave it out for the bin men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CongBass Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Some have a one in one out rule. If you can get rid of one first then there will be less guilt when the new one arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CongBass Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 However if you do buy it, then you prevent one other forum member from having to suffer GAS for the same item. If you can keep this up, eventually there wont be any beauties left to tempt the rest of us. And then we will all owe you a pint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Even better, if it is a lightweight skinny necked 80s MIJ Rick copy. Buy it then, when you don't like it, sell it to me at a huge loss 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
