My accountant is not impressed.
Ok honey, sounds like a plan. Letās sit down and draw up an agreement on how much less youāre going to spend in the pub. 
(butā¦ shhhā¦ the idea is to turn that argument back on her when she tells you she saved money by buying those shoes at a 40% discount!)
(hint: maintain eye contact, back away slowly, then make a run for the door)

I had four basses at one point, although my husband thought I only had three. I had one stashed in the closet. Luckily he doesnāt really know how much basses cost, so I can say, well this one only cost $200! (It was $900). I only have two right now and eyeing up a third. I NEED another jazz bass.

Iām definitely seeing some wise strategies on here today @quadfather @rebecca.Jean

I love that Bass @quadfather.
As you may notice, Orange is my favorite color, and a theme.
I could buy a bass on that argument alone, so the three you listed are perfectly logical and sound in my mind. Heck, I just ordered two pedals because they were the last available for list price. Behringer pedals list at $28, and since many are out of stock, possibly out of production atm, many sellers have them listed as high as $$119, so I snagged the Octaver and Tuner available for &28 each on Amazon.
And although, It is not orange, I am tempting fate with another Bass later today.
I set up a time to go look at and play that ESP LTD B4-E that is for sale in my area, so , what logic am I going to use to not leave with it in my hands??? Lol

Something you might like that I have never seen before: a (maybe passive?) Warwick Streamer with a single P-pickup 
hmm, three knobs, so probably still active 2-band like most Warwicks.

Iām not a big fan of Warwick basses, I much prefer a passive Fender

Yeah mostly I was surprised they made a single-pickup P, never seen that on a Warwick.

maybe a special order ?
Yeah must be.
Haha Iām hearing everything you say!
When I went to the shop (pre-war) to get my P bass, when I saw it in the shop and had a play, my brain did something to me, so it put me in the mindset which made me think that the bass is that good, I simply couldnāt leave the shop without it. It was as if it was already mine and I just had the relatively simple job of taking it home

Well, I decided at 51 to take up an instrument. It was either drums or bass. One fits under the bed much easier and can go in a standard car.
So bass it was. After watching Bassbuzz gear selection videos, I figured at Yamaha TRBX304 might be the way to go.
I bought my first bass on the 11th of November last year, 176 days ago. Since then, Iāve acquired a few more.
People just keep throwing them at me for such little money.
Technically, I have two Mikros as I lent one to a friend so she could survive lockdown.
I lasted a week before I bought another one.
The most expensive one so far has been the BTB400QM. It was only 100 bucks, but cost me $8000 in hail damage to the car I wouldnāt have been driving, if I hadnāt had to go pick it up.
I bought it to convert to headless and but for a finishing coat and power connector wire for the new EQ, it will be up and running.
Amps and cabs also got a little bit out of control. My friends who are professional musicians yelled at me for buying such a thing for a living room practice amp, but then borrowed it for gigs.
Iām having a heap of fun and the neighbors donāt hate me yet. One day, Iāll take it past 5 on the dial and they may change their minds.
So, where did that T shirt in the original post come from? I can stop whenever I want.
Iām still after a Yamaha TRBX304.

You have the worst case of multiple bass disorder (MBD) that Iāve ever seen, @admacdo! . . . 
(good luck in your search for that 304, though. 
)

I absolutely love the look of the RX500, especially the headstock.
3 Likes
Itās not quite correct. I wasnāt able to get the headstock to separate correctly from the background and itās taken the right hand side off the headstock.
Same thing happened a bit with the SR400FL

I would like to take a moment to encourage the excessive-ness of this rig.
I donāt care if itās practical. I still want a rig that can punch me in the chest.
