I Must Resist!!!

^^ So?

Seeing you have been a member of TB for less than two months, it's possible you haven't discovered this is the worst place you could possibly come to request assistance in resisting the purchase of a bass guitar. The advice you will get on this topic from those of us on TB will generally be unanimous and will always be in favor of getting the bass.

If you provide uncomfortable detail about being in dire financial condition, we all become financial advisors on how to manage the purchase.

If you tell us your significant other won't approve, the relationship counselors will respond with advice you should buy, with all the ways to handle the inevitable resulting conflict.

If you share that you already have 37 basses, the rationalizers will show up to tell you it's unlucky to stop on an odd number and go for the purchase because you can't go back to 36.

If you say you can barely play bass at all, you are actually giving all the bass instructors that will respond plenty of advice to give you about how the new bass should advance you to Jaco level ability.

If you say your band mates won't approve of the new bass, well, you also need to warn your band mates of the coming attacks on their existence.

As far as the aforementioned BTB 845, I don't know much about that model, but that's certainly no reason not to buy the bass….

You missed a few groups, like the:

- "I Hate Fender" squads who'll say buy the BTB just to piss off the Fender Fanboys.

- Or "Tort fetish freaks" who'll say there's nothing hotter than a BTB in tort sandals.

- And "The Gifters" who would gift the daughter your bass because she's such a great kid.

- What about the....well ya'll know who you are....

Now that I've seen the beast*** remember to get a case and a stand.

Oh, ok. I don't blame you for holding off. That thing is quite unattractive.

I'm after a jazz bass next so this one is not going to be mine.

I left with a coffee maker.

Wait until sometime in the future you decide to give up caffeine...
It's a trip, trust me.

That's nice looking. At half retail if it were near me I would have been tempted.

Has anyone in the history of talkbass ever advised against relieving GAS when economically viable to do so?
