I've just been totting up what I've spent on bassy things in the last 12 months (2 Yamahas, 1 Squier, 1 Dimarzio, 1 failed attempt to buy a G&L, 3 set ups, 2 multieffects units, 1 studio monitor, 1 case, 1 pickup, 6 picks, 3256 strings, leafs, stands, straps, straplocks etc)
Amongst that carnage, the £300 spent on the 424 I've played the majority of that time is seeming thoroughly insignificant.
Which is my long-winded way of saying, hurry up and get that bass bought.
