Another "Should I..." thread

[thehamsterman]

Ok, here goes again:

I have a Takamine EG512C acoustic bassin amber quilted maple, and i love how it sounds. However I've found it a little hard to use other then just around the house. Recently my friend who works at a music store said they have a Cort Elrick RB5 that has been sitting on the wall for a long time. I played it and its amazing, but i'd have to sell my acoustic to afford it..

So the question, members of talkbass: What would you do? Sell the acoustic to get a great 5-string, or stay with the 4-string acoustic?

Thanks

Got an amp?

Will the Cort be used other than just around the house? If so, the I would say it's more useful to have the Cort over the Takamine, but I doubt you need either of the basses. Since neither are a necessity, it's all a preference to which situation you want. An acoustic to fiddle around the house with or bass to fiddle around the house with and maybe play out with.

Start saving money for the 5, so you don't have to sell the 4.
