I've gone and done it now too.
Just bought one of the SSII's for £999.
Funny thing is, we were in that same soundcontrol in birmingham in early june, picking up strings and other bits while on tour. I saw that very SSII on the wall, listed at £2199 and said to my lead singer [i]'that's my dream bass that is, if I got one of them I could finally do a proper Alex from Incubus impression'[/i].
Now, weirdly enough because of this site I've bought that very bass. Karma.
It's coming on tuesday. Well excited. In the last month I've got the two basses I've aaaalways lusted after since being a teen: a thumb NT 5 and now a SSII 4. Time to stop with the GAS I reckon.
However it's all very timely since we've got 3 really big support slots this august and I didn't want to use my knackered corvette at all.
