I realize that the basses I have far exceed my ability, and I’m not unhappy with the tones that I get from my gear…so why do I spend hours and hours scrolling through pages of bass after bass looking for something new.

i think its because I never picked one out for me, I’m playing my sons hand me downs and an epi that I only bought because it was less than $100…LOL. I’d like to find one and say I’m choosing this one because its what I want. Honestly, the only one I’ve seen that I liked is the Sire M5 4 string, maybe I’ll buy one as a graduation present to myself. But we have to get out of lockdown so I can go somewhere and test drive one before I spend the money.

I’ve no excuse. My wife bought me the Fender P bass which now has upgraded pickups and electrics. And I have the Ibanez SR650 which is another really good bass.
I may sell the cheap P bass once I’ve finished it ( change of plans) .
However, I still look nearly every day

How do you usually get in to Tokyo when you go? Toyoko line? If Shibuya is easy, once out of lockdown I would recommend hitting Ikebe Gakki’s “Grandey Bass” shop there. Close to the station and good.
Not as amazing as Ochanomizu but likely much more convenient for you
