Head turn by a possible new bass 😔

[patrikmarky]

Any other bass chatters get there heads turned so easily by the prospect of a new bass in there life ..I’ve found 2 on eBay (and no I’m not telling anyone else what they are )🤣! 
   I find it quite worrying that I was more than happy with the 4 basses I have but all I can think of is which one to dump so I can get the new shiny one ..I’m sure it’s a bassist hangup as none of the members of the 2 bands I’m in get through the same amount of gear I do ! ..do I have a mental problem if so do we have a bass chatter physiologist on here !

Been there done that, as has probably everyone on here. The amount of amazing basses that I'd loved that I'd just sold for the sake of getting a new one is crazy.

I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence.

Simple equation helps here and works in every situation ever.

 

x=y+1

 

Where x= perfect number of basses and y= the number you already have.

 

Also works for motorbikes.

I’d say this comes firmly under the “chase is better than the catch,” category of thinking. 
 

It’s basses. It’s harmless. Go ahead and enjoy yourself.

Conversely, if you have a new child, are you going to love your existing children any less?

The dopemine rush of acquisition > the joy of ownership. 

It's a trick, watch out!

I don't buy on a whim. I buy the best I can afford and stick with it.

 

I've played my #1 basses for 26 years, 14 years and finally 13 years.

I wish I could adopt and stick to this philosophy.
