What would you do?

. . . . . You have roughly a $4,000 usd budget.

 

The world is your lobster, but I would  be looking at good used Mike Lull or NYC Sadowsky basses. Best basses I've ever owned and played.

 

Or. . . .  a long shot, a Rob Allen Deep 4/5.

So you're not really too sure about what you want 🤣 (Good choice by the way, but I'd go fretted 👍)

Based on my recent experience of buying a used one, I think anyone with a good budget should at least consider commissioning a custom ACG. $4k will get you anything you want built, popped in a really good case and shipped to the US, with change for a party when it arrives.

This was once a smart remark of mine, to which the spousal unit replied immediately (in song),

"Send lawyers, guns and money,

the sh!t has hit the fan"

I’d look at any instrument that was better quality than the standard of my playing and keep the change.

 

So, one $150 squier affinity later … 

On that basis an HB P Bass kit for me as my mechanical and electrical skills far outweigh my musical talent.

Depends if you like, boutique and/or off piste basses. 

 

If, like many and you don't, then it's down to the usual suspects. 

 

Think carefully, a spendy bass says a lot about it's owner, well it does to other anorak bass players😉 they will sum up your character, house decor, car, sex life just by it's profile, obviously no one else would give a toss, it's just a funny looking, long geetar thing.
