Why worry about price?

Talking Blasphemy!

 

Stay home, stop shopping, enjoy what you already own.

 

Hi 5 Doc. . . .

 

This is TB. Are trying to get banned? Music instead of Gear Acquisition?
Blasphemy? How about Heresy?

Say three hail Torts and that might be insufficient!

 

Crazy talk!

 

I say just make bass noises with your mouth. Why even bother buying a bass?

 

Why do it with your mouth?

 

With all the good options these days, you're right. Never been a better time to get a new, quality bass at a good price.

 

This is a good sentiment, but if I make a NBD thread about the decked-out Fodera I’m getting next week, there is a 100% chance it will devolve into four pages of bickering about money.

 

Buy what you like, and keep it. I've had my Fender parts bass since 1983, my Lull P4 since 2002, and my Gibson J50 acoustic guitar since 1976. No matter what, I've gotten my money's worth.

 

I mostly agree with this. Especially as a regularly gigging musician, instruments pay themselves off within a matter of weeks, if not a month or 2.
However, I was in the GC near me yesterday and a new Fender sunburst American Precision bass is listed at $1899.00! Yeeow!

 

The butt trumpet is the only instrument I'm truly proficient in

 

But I need a new bit crusher

 

That was in jest though without an emoji. It was about TB.

 

No Way! Eight pages!

 

Yes, this. The GAS goes down the more I actually play, funny how that works

 

I always offer less than the asking price. If the offer is not to the seller’s liking, I move on.
