I do it because I have 4 kids.... But times are good and I expect to be looking at an LB-100 or SB-1 by the end of the year.Well, I do it for space constraints but also because I know what I need. My first L-2000 serves my purposes just great. While it technically qualifies as my second bass, I won't as I am moving it and I don't need it as it doesn't provide anything different.
