Did you ever buy a bass you'd previously overlooked?

I always kind of ignored Dingwalls for being "weird" and "ugly" and then I played one. And then I had to get one.

P basses for me. Probably never tried one properly when I first started learning as the Jazz nut was more comfortable in my hands. Took about 20 years before I realised that the sound I loved was something I was getting close to by soloing the front pickup. Still took another few years before I actually made the final connection and bought one. Been on a quest to find ones that have a narrower nut and bought and sold a few of these, finally going down the route of custom ordering a Shuker P (and is near completion), but my current and only bass is now a USA Fender P.
