I've played for the last 5 years without a back up bass but a couple of months ago my Fender P developed a crackle at a gig so I thought I had better get it fixed and get a spare. My Gordon Smith is too heavy (and its in Belgium!) so I cant use that. Last week I bought a Vintage AV4 for £100, nice bass has 22 frets (which is a bonus) and will make a nice little back up. Only trouble is - after I bought it, a mate of mine offered me his MIM P in exchange for some equipment he had of mine which I accepted, I swapped another amp for an artist series Squier Jazz and then I couldn't resist a very very cheap Squier P classic vibe on Ebay. I now have 4 spares... My Mrs is not happy. Anybody want to buy a spare bass?
