Daily Comment
I was almost going to 'No Comment' this post.
The only reason I'm not is due to a change from yesterday, when I stated how I showed restraint in not buying a bass to take with me in my coming travels. Today, I did just that.
The reason being I realized something today: I was not going to be able to pack the Steinberger. It is as small as a full-scale bass can be, but it still will not fit in even a large checkable piece of luggage.
The solution is to pack an un-bolted bolt-on-neck bass - the neck can be packed along the diagonal of the orange, hard-sided large suitcase I will be buying from Amazon.
The next thing was to choose a bolt-on bass. I have two (of the five four-string basses I own). One is the eponymous Reverend that got me my nickname, the other is my modded Precision.
They are both precious to me (and would be very expensive to replace).
Today I decided it was worth $200 to bring a good bass with me that I wouldn't care if it broke or went missing during the eleven weeks I'll be out of state.
I ended up buying the best cheap bass I know of, on sale, and a set of the strings I use, for $215 delivered.
If the bass makes it back from the trip, I can easily sell it for a super-low price, which will recover some of my investment, but it is less expensive than renting a terrible instrument for that amount of time - and they're all terrible.
I am thankful for the wherewithal to do this.
