Lets say you got a free bass that was made out of the best tasting pie in the world. This is the only one of these pies in extistence, and no other pie will ever be as good as this one. But, it's also the best bass in teh world, and after playing with it you won't be able to eat it or play it. Also, nibbling ruins the tone. So you can only eat the pie or play it.. Which would you do, eat it or play it?

But first, I would send a sample to a science lab to determine all the ingredients, amount of ingredients, and at what tempature and lenth the pie was cooked.
Best bass in the world? Ha. Jaco only needed a beat-to-hell-jazz. |

If it actually was the best bass in the world, then once you ate it the "second best bass in the world" would become the "best bass in the world". By purchasing the second best bass in the world, you could get to enjoy eating the best pie in the world and after you have finished, you could own / play the best bass in the world.
