You could have saved yourself a few days and some keystrokes, and just bought a Stingray or Sterling in the first place, given the poll results are irrelevant to you

Here's another option. I could get a MarkBass rig. Anyone vote for that?

Save for college...as I've told you time and time again. You don't need to be living one semester to another. College is expensive!! All I have to pay for is books (Thank, God, for HOPE), and it's rought at the beginning of each semester. But I'm just the girlfriend currently at the school you're talking about going...what do I know?

I read this story once about ants and a grasshopper.
The ants were all wearing ties and sensible shoes and didn't use bad language.
The grasshopper was wearing shorts and flip flops, sucking on a drink with an umbrella in it and had a hot girlfriend who was into experimentation.
I forget what my point was.

The way I look at it is at least you're spending money on something with a resale value. If you buy it then down the road see that you have no money, you can sell it. sure you wont make all of your money back but the two or three hundred you lose wont kill you, just think of it like you rented it for a few months or years.

The basic premise of the Aesop fable is this:
The Ant works hard in the heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he either dies out in the cold, or begs and receives humiliating charity from the ant he teased.
I was kind of, um, you know, ahem, putting my own spin on it, I guess.

Oh, and used prices seem pretty stable.
Not that I'm advocating one thing or the other, grasshopper.

+1 Having lived through the same dilemma, trying to struggle through school financially, and yet gassing for basses and gear while gigging during my college years, I'd recommend waiting until after you finish, then with your new job in one hand and disposable income in the other, get the exact MM axe you want.

Hehe. Too late now. Heinz is coming home to Stanky.
BTW, who did you order your DD HS SR5 from?
