Why?

Allow me to let you dispose of that extra cash.

I’m not THAT blessed!

The old Glarry itself sounds decent, especially for $100.

Ha ha, just a feeler. Not sure I'm ready, but could be.

You got rounds on there?

Yes, I don’t know what Glarry used for the fingerboard, but it is hard as nails.The rounds barely make a dent after a year.

Not meaning to be an a$$hole and going against the usual TB advice (GET IT!!!). Didn't you have a Pedulla fretless? What could possibly be an upgrade?

A Tony Franklin would be nice...

He sold it

It all comes down to desire. In one form or another it drives nearly everything we do.

I'm broke and living in my friends garage and every time I get money I think about gear-it's a groove based sickness that defines the reality of living day to day -it is a lifestyle -a habit - it is a dogma and it is the way of life.

Just use it as an inspiration for when times are better.

Yessir, not a bad option right there.

Tech billionaires have it all here, so they want to colonize outer space.

We’re a deranged species in need of God. Repent.

It's a difficult shift to go from trying to get what we want to wanting what we have.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

He sold it

As I said before, some very serious things beyond my control forced the sale. It was not due to GAS.

It's a kind a mental disorder, almost every bass player has it.

Not me. I bought a practice amp 4 years ago. Prior to that my last purchase was in 2002.

What I've felt at times was that it was not a want for more, but for better, some kind of improvement. Instruments are tools, and part of my being wants to either improve a tool's effectiveness or to acquire a superior tool, once I know it exists. I suppose that's been going on for a couple million years or so.

I believe it is an evolving process of discovery. If I see something I think I might like, I buy it. I work it. I put it into rotation with other gear I like. Sometimes the new gear is a pleasant addition. Sometimes not. But I always learn from the experience and am better for it. I have many basses. I will maybe sell some soon. But I surely will buy more in the future and not feel at all bad about it.

I have been sitting around letting some extra money coming my way burn a hole in my pockets thinking about what I can buy, and now I am thinking why? I could use a fretless upgrade, but I don’t need one. I certainly do not need another fretted bass. Why do I always want something else?

Enjoy it with whatever you choose
Guilt Free!

Here's a thought for you. Get a set of E-C strings for one of your 5-bangers - might help with the 'Prelude in C' project.

And listen to Steve Swallow.

Capitalism thrives on desire and abhors contentment. Look at razors. Remember when there was only one blade? Then they came out with two, and truth be told, it was a smoother shave. When they introduced the three-blade razor, I started to feel like a mark. Now some have six blades and look like cheese graters but don't shave any closer, but you know ...

I remember when this was satire:
