jacko Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Rich' post='439111' date='Mar 19 2009, 12:28 PM']So, at what point does an expensive bass become too expensive to comfortably take to a gig?[/quote] It Doesn't. I take 2 of my alembics to every gig I play. The more expensive one worked out at around £4500 by the time I got it into the country, the less expensive one nearer £3700. Doesn't stop me hammering the hell out of them. Edited March 19, 2009 by jacko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real world version means you've got enough cash to buy a beater that will do the job in the first's place should something go nips north. I have a very similar view on buying items of worth, means less stress if something goes wrong. Edited March 25, 2009 by Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
