I've had a bit of good fortune. But despite trying really hard I can't find myself lusting for a new bass. A 62 Jazz would be good, expect I have blinged my Squire one to the Max and tonight it got praised highly for tone even through my tiny orange crush 25. My Performer is so playable as well. The only things I can get excited about at all would be a £140 Talman or a Epiphone masterbilt semi acoustic. I just can't get remotely excited about anything custom shop, Sandberg's, wals or even boutique stuff. Even a Jabba would only get me wanting to make my own. Perhaps I should just buy some really nice timber as an investment in a future project.
