My best must be the Modulus:

The worst purchase must be a super rare Ibanez Artist 2615b. It sounded lovely but had severe issues (neck reset done poorly, truss rod not adjustable), so I had no other option than returning it to the shop...

Oooof, I feel like I should've owned a Modulus for a while.

Best purchase was definitely the Elf, which has proved its worth beyond any doubt.

 

I don't think I've made a bad bass-related purchase this year. Which is nice.

Given the Elf has gone back to PMT – and presumably Trace/Peavey – for repairs, this statement is a touch hasty in hindsight

I’ve not bought much at all year by previous standards, but the best is definitely this. Epiphone Vintage Pro T-Bird. Stupendously good for the cash (especially second hand with a case, as this was). I’ve replaced the knobs for black/chrome and, when I get round to it, will get a black scratchplate on it too.

 

Worst purchase? I’ve yet to find a use for the Stone Deaf PDF-2 pedal that I picked up to try with my octave up sounds. Nowt wrong with the pedal, just not what I’m looking for.

The 'bird is badass, will look even more so with a black guard.

Well the 73P and the 66J were my two best. The P came in one piece, the J took a couple of years and came in seven pieces from seven different donors. If I don't get back into the workforce soon, the 73P may become the worst purchase!

Currently is the worst that fender you got where they forgot to sell you the body
