I found a like new Peavey Millenium BXP 4 that has been upgraded with Bartolini pickups and an EMG BTC preamp, includes gigbag as well. These basses sell for $240, I can get this one for $190. Should I do it?? I don't need it but with the upgrades, is this one of those opportunities that you just dont pass up? Thanks
Go for it. A set of bartolinis will cost almost as much as the whole bass, let alone bartolinis and a preamp.
190? Buy it! Even if you hate it, you can re sell it for more than you paid and still not be taking advantage of anyone....as envika said, the pups and pre amp alone are pretty much worth that!
if you need it like you need a hole in the head, than you HAVE to get it. We all NEED holes in our head, if not we couldnt see, hear, breath, or eat
It's not a question of need. If you needed it it wouldn't be available and/or it would be too expensive. Do you really like it? Do you have the money? Then go for it. Screw need. GAS is not about need, it's about want. You want it, so go for it.
