Gigging the good stuff?

I've gigged with a Fodera, Alleva Coppolo, Ritter, Sei, Roscoe, MTD, ultra rare Modulus, Sadowsky, Zon and a '63 Fender.

Next gig is on 2nd November and I'll definitely be playing a Ritter Cora, may even take a 2nd one as a back up.

I've never been concerned about that or damage. My basses are there to be played :)
 
I've posted in this thread before, but I feel compelled to say again : I can't imagine *not* gigging the best instruments I have. I mean, playing live is my thing, I buy quality instruments so I can play and sound my best, so gigging them is a foregone conclusion for me.

I own two basses currently, a fretted and a fretless Zon USA Sonus, and they see mad stage time. I take good care of them; a few dings or chips (doesn't every Zon have that chip in the headstock?) are no big deal
