On Eddie Trunk’s old TV show I remember when they picked the top 5 hard rock/metal bassists. I don’t remember the exact order but they were Geezer Butler, Steve Harris, Geddy Lee, Cliff Burton, and Billy Sheehan. I was able to see all 5 live.

If it doesn’t hurt you or your family financially, go for it. You can always sell it if you decide differently later. You might actually make money on it or not. With the COVID situation we are all going through, life is too short not to treat ourselves if we can

Those are the 3 basses i have. Jazz, Precision, and Sting Ray. Love them.
