Latest on the Acoustic Bass

Just when I had convinced myself that I shouldn't buy an acoustic bass...

So I'm headed to Oshkosh this weekend for a gig. There's a guy in Appleton selling a Breedlove ABJ250 SM4 bass for $400. It is a nice instrument. Discontinued. We'll call it an intermediate level instrument, that gets good reviews for volume (not as good as say a Thunderchief, but better than the Dean EAB). They sell for between $400 and $800. Elderly instruments (a totally respectable dealer...they don't carry crap) sells them when they find them...for about $525.

It is probably the best acoustic bass at the best price that I will be able to find. It is also totally unneccessary as a purchase. I have no idea what is going to happen on Saturday.
