BUCKTOOF

YO 40 I say if you can afford to you should do it. but do it because you want a wal and are ok with waiting almost 3 years to have a new one designed for you. Do it for yourself if that will make you happy and ignore the people that hate on the idea of spending this much money on a hand crafted bespoke instrument. I wont disagree with people that think they are too expensive as that is personal and subjective. To each his / her own i ordered mine in JUNE of this year. I started a conversation with them in 2010 when they were 3200. Right before i placed the order i had to back out for personal reasons. It hurts a little that its literally 2 times the price 10 years later but i don't care. i have wanted one for too long to not pull the trigger. You could also try and find a used one. I didn't go that route because i wanted a very specific bass and paul has only made one other even close to similar to it. I hope this finds you well and you end up deciding whats best for you. BUCK
