Its maybe a newbie thing as im the same,played for just over a yr and have had/got Peavey T40,Ibby 800sr,Shecter Diamond,2 P copies,and another 3 oddball ones i experiment with parts,amp/cabs ive hd/got peavey mk111,a sh*te KMD 130w thingy,Marshall HDFX,peavey 1820,celestion 1x15,hartke vx210,and now using Hartke HA3500 + 2xVX410 ....using different bass`s hasnt affected my playing as im still consistent,albeit consistently rank rotten.it is strangely addictive though when a rookie and i find i even try to justify buying things to myself,you experienced players surely can assure us there urges go away with time surely???
