I don’t know you, but I know a lot of people like you, and I think it’s a safe bet that you deserve better. You may aspire to own the best bass that money can buy, but too often that ‘dream bass’ is financially out of reach. Or is it?
Having the best instrument rarely makes anyone a better player overnight. Owning an instrument from an aspirational brand may provide motivation to spend more time with a bass in our hands, and inspire more diligent practice regimens to justify its investment. But the most valuable investment we make as musicians is not in the gear we own, it’s the time we invest in ourselves to develop and improve.
