You don’t have to get good enough, you just have to want to have it bad enough!

This is for damn sure. Although not strictly necessary, a really fine instrument that’s a pure joy to play tends to make you want to play more.

And honestly, 1500 euros is pretty modest compared to what truly devastating GAS can do to you.

I love the ESP custom shop. That’s a nice Stream.

I’ll have to check BigBoss later, because now I am wondering if it’s new Streams across the whole product line.
An Edwards Stream would be a real nice bass in their usual price range.

No, no it wouldn’t. I’ve gone through stream rehab and don’t need a relapse

now that is just cool.
I love the minimalist approach, just looks like any old wood from the yard turned into a high quality instrument.
I think I would prefer a P or at least a P/J over a J pick up style, but otherwise, that is fantastic.
Looks cool with the opposing back drop, like the crossroads of the wood grain.

This is a Polish made one of a kind bass for sale in Portland. It is not mine…
Here is some of the text:
Gorgeous medium scale (32") bass handmade in Poland by master luthier Marek Dabek of Stradi. A certificate of authenticity will be provided along with the bass and original hardshell case.
Only one pink Furya has ever been produced, it was an experiment with pigmented woods that Stradi has been developing since.

It’s never really been about need, John. It’s about showcasing the goods.
