Gah. I was dreading the "sell it" responses haha, but still appreciate the advice. Why do we get so attached to our instruments? Is it just a bass thing, or do all musicians have the same issue?

Yeah, that's an issue. It is german made so will be worth more than a very recent one, but still... it's a lot of money to make a big loss on

Thanks man! Black is the best colour for metal

Hey everyone, would love to get some input on my situation here, as I need some convincing either way as to what I should do!

Shortened story... I bought my Warwick Corvette $$ last April, cost a small fortune and it's a stunning bass. Sounds great, plays great, the quality is obvious.

My problem? That because it cost so much and I am poor, I don't use it except for playing it at home. Don't take it to practice or gigs in case it's broken or stolen... it's insured, but you know how the insurance companies like to dodge paying out for anything! And I don't live in the best area and am constantly worried about it being stolen from my house.

So I'm wondering if I should just sell it on. I could use the cash at the moment as I've got a gig coming up and am questioning the reliability of my amp, and have no money to buy a new one.

My Kramer bass does everything I need it to do at my level of playing. I'm so torn cos I love the Warwick to bits, just can't justify it.

Thoughts?

Hey everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm 28, been playing bass for about 18 months now, and am in a local classic rock/old school metal covers band.

Slowly learning about the instrument, both playing and set-ups etc. Would like to learn about electronics as well but that's a way off yet

I have a dilemma that I was hoping you folks could share some opinions on, but I'll start a thread in the relevant section for that!

Here's a pic of my setup (apologies for the not so good phone picture):



And here's one from the bands last gig:
