moonwarriors Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Guess i look at it in an opposite way must admit I recently bought a modern £800 ish bass because I ended up paranoid about using vintage basses for pub gigs & rehearsals & didn't want to trash them further, know what you mean about shiny new custom ones though.

I don't think I'd want to take a bass worth £1000+ out to a pub gig. I suppose with vintage gear it's a bit different, because I wouldn't mind if it picked up a few scrapes, but a shiny new quilt-topped thing with matching wood knobs wouldn't look too clever with big dings in it.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that doesn't stop me from taking any of them to any gig if it's going to be the right instrument for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
