I have checked and you can collect from shop so i will probably go and have a look at them to see what they are like, i am used to setting up me own electric bass guitars so i wouldt mind doin some nut/bridge adjustments if need be on one at there price.
Other option would be to get a loan or put a bit on the credit card for something more desirable? but there is someone watching over my shoulder if you know what i mean.
I have justified getting one by saying i need to learn it so i can get more work even though i dont know how i will get on with it as it is a totally different animal than bass guitar, just turned 48 the other month and the sound appeals lots more than playing electric, same thing happened with the motorbike, i could never get my head round anyone wanting a bike with a sidecar but now i have one, funny how things change as you get older, cheers , Jez.
