New bass checklist

[GBassNorth]

8. Is there a counterfeit model for sale at a fraction of the price?
9. Where can I buy Rickenbacker or Fodera logos for the headstock?
10. Is this Craigslist ad too good to be true?

How does it feel to hold it
How does the neck feel.

Everything else can be changed.
If it doesn't fit those two I'm not buying it.

Although there have been some other good suggestions-Budget & whether it gives you anything different than what you have being higher on my own list

Does this bass make me look fat???

 

[Lowness]

Has it got neck dive?

This is a deal breaker for me these days.

If the wife finds out, will she get away with murder this time?

I'm sure its been said already, but if not:

How dedicated are you to music/bass playing?

If the wife finds out, will she get away with murder this time?

I'm surprised this wasn't posted 10 times by now. I've sold a lot of gear to guys who's main concern was how to get it past the SO. One guy bought a SVT-CL and 410HLF and crammed it in his Toyota. I'm sure he got busted.

Do I really need another bass?

That's the question my wife makes.

#37. Should I consider getting a new amp instead of a new bass?

#38. Does the price include a case? will it fit in one of the cases I have?

Do they serve carrots?

Advice: Don't go with trends., Ask yourself "What do I want in a bass guitar". Then go shopping.

The reason I have the bass I have now (Ibanez Black Eagle Reissue) is that it answered the one question I wasn't even asking when I just grabbed it off the wall for shiggles: "Why can I not stop playing this thing?!?!?!"

 

[wrench45us]

thinking too much??!

is adding another bass a solution to a true need?
or just feeding a periodic existential emptiness that is momentarily satisfied by something new and shiny?

not judging, just saying

 

[bassliner50]

Do I prefer 4 strings or 5?

Is the bass orange?
When is your rent due?

Do I really need another bass?

answer: yes!

#38. Does the price include a case? will it fit in one of the cases I have?

this is a very good question. my husband recently bought a jackson V, and turns out that no case or gigbag fits it... including the case jackson makes for it.

For me #8 is the most important and here it is:
