Do NOT need a new bass but...

[lbbc]

I have a Carvin PB4 that's in immaculate shape...new strings, new set up (to my liking) and I do NOT need a new bass. But, I saw a Squire Contemporary Jazz on Sweetwater website that I can't get out of my mind. Anyone have one? Impressions? At $399 seems to be too good to be true!

That sure looks nice to me.

Does anyone need a new bass? Want on the other hand is something else entirely.

They are offering that model in some cool new colors and they aren’t that expensive (relatively speaking). So if you can comfortably afford it what’s the harm?

I'm (and when I say I'm - keep in mind I am speaking on behalf of my wallet!) extremely grateful that I recently made the incontrovertible decision to only play short-scales from here on. Because it seems every week there is another aesthetically-pleasing new bass guitar coming out, at very reasonable price points...

I ordered the 9lb one exactly like this. Should arrive today. Love that roasted neck!

I know your pain. Tried an Ultra Jazz last week that made me want to cry. Money in the bank and not one single reason (that I could persuade my partner with) to buy it. That said if it was only $399 I would be playing it now and not writing this post!!!
