2023 GAS Abstinence (Failure ?)

[kodiakblair]

60 days, I was doing so well 😄

 

Aria Pro Mosrite thing sat in the BIN basket for a week. The thoughts were many, "under £400", "could do Klarna", "could I build one for that ?"

Another 'must-have', weird but cool Italia with 4 lipstick pickups parallel to strings. Fantastic look, bet it plays like a dream and sounds as good as it looks only x 2.

 

The many pros were quashed by a single con: I'll never play the bloody things !!

 

With loins girded by "I'll never play ...." , the rest of 2023 was secure; until yesterday 😐

 

Yesterday the Heavens conspired against me.

 

Off work and bored ✅ Bored leads to web surfing✅ Web surfing to Gumtree✅ Gumtree opens with preferrences intact ✅ Top of the pile is Telecaster bass 3 miles away ✅

Ad has been up 1 hour ✅ Seller on the ball, calls me within 2 minutes ✅ Yes, he still has the bass and £60 is the asking price ✅He will deliver ✅ 

 

I never stood a chance 🤬

£60 delivered?! 

 

Surely you've got to have a threshold before an acquisition limit applies? £60 is like two rounds at the pub and you can't put limits on those. So this is just a free bass that you've kindly saved from who knows what miserable end!
