Yes. I take whatever is right for the gig, regardless of what I paid for it.

My best bass and most valuable in £`s gets gigged and as it`s a Roadworn 60th aniv Jazz it doesn`t matter if it gets dinged. I keep my eye on it at gigs as it so easy for someone to lift it when your back is turned say during a break. On a similar line, I was talking to a guy in my local the other week who was playing a 6 grand Les Paul custom shop 59 re issue. After doing a soundcheck the 3 guys in the band disappeared out the back for a smoke leaving the Les Paul and a nice Ric just sitting near a door. Not something I would do especially where I come from

There are where we get the timber for short-scale necks, presumably?

You are Dr Who and I claim my £5. ...

If you really want to curse them, substitute “Les Paul” for “bass” above. Do it properly

Or are large enough to need a seat of their own. I suspect OP may be thinking “bonsai” as a) he has limited luggage space b) can only carry so much luggage c) needs to consider whether they’d shed needles or soil over his in-luggage crème egg stash

Big shows…yup. although I did play a pub in Chorley with it… depends on my mood…but it’s there to be played. I have “lesser” basses I worry about more.

I lived backing on to Branston Water Park from 2022 to 2020. My daughter was born in the QE Hospital in Burton, but we lived in Tamworth in those days.

Are you guys putting your basses on stands, or leaning them up against something during a gig? My basses live in Mono M80 Vertigo gig bags unless they are being played. I'm more likely to damage a bass at home than on a gig.

I've been chasing transparency for sometime, favouring a rack set up paired with a Matrix power stage. Fantastic setup. Right now I'm using a Tech 21 XB Driver until GSS Baby Sumo. It's plenty loud.

There’s something not right there, I haven’t used mine for long periods of time but I use it regularly and I don’t charge it very often, maybe drop your question here and see what others are saying
