I’ve been asked to travel to Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Panama, and possibly Haiti and South Africa, after COVID travel restrictions lift to play bass at different churches in those areas. I play lefty, and as such it’s hard to get stuff.
I have a MM Bongo Neptune Blue PDN that is my to the grave bass, and a Martin Acoustic Mahogany. In other words, basses that would be impossible To replace since they are not in production. I could live with losing them since they are things. They are insured. But still, I’m nervous.
Would you guys get a travel bass in these circumstances? I prefer playing my own basses and love them. If I buy a travel bass I would lean between a squire VM modified jazz or a the budget 5-string Stingray that Sterling by MM just put out? Part of me thinks this is excessive
For basses I would never otherwise play once I’m home, it feels excessive, but I don’t know. Would love to hear other perspectives, especially of those who have basses no longer in production. Thanks.
