Haha thank you, I feel the same way when i see other bassists... i just remember that i own these expensive instruments for my own reasons... when i was a full time musician many years ago my only bass was a second hand yamaha trb that cost £200 on ebay... now I am working in a 'proper' job i own a few expensive instruments that hardly get played.

Looks like the latest news item alludes to the 40th anniversary bass that was somewhat suggested (albeit cryptically) in Rob’s original retirement message. I wonder whether they’re purely in a holding pattern to put those out as a limited run, and then who knows. Si Edited February 28, 2023 by Sibob 1 Quote

Si Maybe the trick is the 40th anniversary is a limited edition limited to 40000 units! 1 Quote

I haven't had any replies from Rob when enquiring about ordering a new S2 Classic bass... that could be a good sign, maybe they will make an announcement in the future... but could be he's just tired of replying to new build requests haha Edited March 9, 2023 by joe_geezer 1 Quote

What was the reason for selling the bass if you don't mind me asking? Quote

I claim it was temporary insanity 🤣 At the time I was lucky enough to have about 11 high end basses of which my Smith and Wal were getting most of the playtime and I felt I should be sensible and thin the herd a bit. I've had another S2 since and keep looking at adverts for others........you know how it goes. 😁 1 Quote
