Ok so guys I have been having thoughts... Possibly bad thoughts that I should ignore and not actually entertain.
My q4 turbo is beautiful, rare and plays wonderfully. Plus I loaded it with top of the line electronics (nordy big splits and u-retro preamp). It sounds like the angriest carnivore of a bass I've ever heard, all by itself. No assistance from pedals necessary. Seriously it's tone is "tremble-in-fear" worthy.
It's really a thing of beauty although I still prefer the feel of my vj4. I've shown it here before...
View media item 4102It's value is at about $2400-2500 after what I've put into it. (yes I'm aware is "worth" is dependent on what someone is willing to pay for it, but this is really what it seems to be worth in comparison to other items on the market and it's certainly worth this much to me)
But so... I've been wanting a q5 enough lately to consider trading this beast. I feel like I might regret doing so if I did it though. So... Would I be crazy for considering it? I feel like I might be out of my mind but I haven't had a 5 string in like 10 years and I really want one again and of course I don't want to f--- around, so there are only a few top notch brands I'd consider, primarily a quantum as my first choice.
What are your thoughts friends? Should I just suck it up and wait till the day I can afford to buy one? Am I crazy to even think about letting this thing go?
I probably am not right in the head
