I might have to drive over and try that Rinaldis EVO FX5. I have absolutely no money spare, but I am really curious to know what they are like.

It's the last few weeks of this year's abstinence thread and we've got @Bass Direct in here waving the wand of temptation at people.

Just to make it clear - I'm not on any commission!

The final and true test of an abstainer’s mettle. 😬

I’m going to try really hard to maintain abstinence next year.
 

In fact I’m in a shedding phase at the moment. I’ve decided 5 basses will be more than enough for anyone. I’ve already sold one of my 8 and I’m going to break up my two bitsas and sell the parts. I also have a few guitars to get rid of, plus amps and cabs, pedals, active PA cabs that rarely get used, 3 mixers (1 is enough), etc. it is quite cathartic but I suspect I will fall off the wagon in 2027 🥴.
