You are right , and I tell myself this too often and then I buy another bass . Stopped at a music shop yesterday out of town and hanging on the wall was a MIJ Fender Jazz that looked like it had never been touched by human hands and after playing it ......I didn't buy it , but I might take the long drive and buy it .This is a beautiful testimony. Acceptance is a big part of my life these days. I guess that is part of aging and accepting mortality.
