Should I buy another Musicman?

I am currently awaiting the delivery of my eighth MM bass. I live & GIG in the Buffalo N.Y. area. The car / outside temperatures range from 85 summer, to -20 winter. Adjustments,yes,of course. Problems never. Sometimes shopping used instruments can be more like a "casino" than a music store. I hope the wheel spins in your favor.Good luck.
 
I have a "black beauty" '95 V strings. Bought it used in '98 or '99 in Usa (Atomic Music, Washington DC). Excellent instrument overall; only thing is each now and then (more often than not) it needs a tweak on the rod to set it back to the right point. Never had this problem on any other of my basses. Would never part with it anyway: it plays, sounds and feels absolutely good!!!
I guess if I do get one I will have to learn to make my own adjustment or make my repair guys wallet very fat
