How much does a "great" bass cost?

I love playing my inexpensive basses. What am I missing from a more expensive bass that will help me become a better player or make my bass playing more enjoyable?

For me, I have to admit a more expensive bass would be more enjoyable, but not because it’ll make me a better player, rather I just like the snazzy status of a Sanderberg or a Lakland. The idea of real craftsmanship of high quality or handmade bass, the touch of the fine wood in my hands… I just like it.

There’s nothing at all wrong with my old Squier, it’s just that—it’s a Squier! But, I know if that Squier were in the hands somebody really good, it would be just fine.

You don’t have to admit anything. There’s nothing wrong with you.

Do you need an expensive bass to play well? No you don’t.

Do you have to play an inexpensive bass if you can afford a nice bass regardless of your skill level? Seriously?

You are going to let someone put a guilt trip on your decision and how you spend your money?

I’ll have a problem if someone is spending my money. Captain Obvious just want to make sure you heard the “you don’t need expensive bass” seriously do you even need 4 strings?

Play whatever you want just don’t tell me what I have to play.

When they say you have too many strings
