man, Finance one if you can, they're worth it; also let sweetwater know that guitar center is clearancing them and they might knock em down as well and they have 3-24 month plans!

I destroyed my credit thanks to mental hospitals making me everything the DSM says (the drugs they use have reverse effects on me). I could never get guitar center financing ever again. Ironically, it was only about $150 on there, but I got knocked down so hard that time that everything got defaulted. I'm on social security now, and a debt refugee. Not gonna happen. I do regret not at least taking care of that one though, would have been good to maintain a line at GC, but that wasn't in my cards. and then my amps got stolen last year, so my priorities are different. And not like I need one, but it would be cool. I don't want to part with a Warwick or fender to get one. But perhaps if I could sell the one high end guitar I have, a BFR JP with rosewood neck, but it has a repaired crack behind the headstock, hard sell. Still worth a grand though. It was an impulse buy right after getting out of a hospital 5 years ago. Already had the crack and some messed up electronics (one of the toggles. And the low E piezo dead) Would still be on their wall to this day I bet had I not manic purchased it. Had everything fixed and the crack glue injected and clamped, but not cosmetically fixed. Pretty sure I'm stuck with it.

I can't make payments regardless, I can't even play with bands that need chip ins for rehearsal space.

If I wanted it badly enough, I would have to take the petrucci to GC and see if they would take it straight trade. Then I have to decide if I should part with the only high end guitar I have, for yet another bass...

nope don't do that, keep the high ends. keep the warwick, the fender? ehhh I'd argue that for sheer sound, the T-bird sounds better to me, but it's all personal preference.

My first "pro caliber" bass was my am std jazz I bought in 1998, still one of my favorites, not parting with it. Also the 2000 p bass in my pic, not parting with it.
I sold one of my Warwicks before, regretted it, got to buy it back, won't make that mistake again. I have 2 five strings of the same model, but different years, different neck wood and profile and fret size, but also I don't like not having a backup, sold all my other 5ers so the pair of Warwick's remain. Have a 4 string, that is backed up by an ibanez SR500, and the sr500 isn't worth enough to sell. Nor is my OLP which has a Warwick pickup in it. Definitely not parting with my 98 ltd edition first run geddy lee
