It's F***ING HUGE and I'm constantly bumping my headstock into my singer when I try to move around.
Look for a bigger rehearsal room

no! it's all about the feel (which is priceless!) at any price. the sound of an instrument can be altered in so many ways, but if the 'wood parts' (the feel) aren't right: it doesn't make any difference what the rest of it is or how much it cost.Has anyone ever had sellers remorse about going from super expensive to moderately priced gear?
I just cut a bass track this past weekend in a studio for my band. The studio owner said my Frankin Fender had such an awesome tone very full and round and quiet. He gushed over it said it was so easy to record...set it and forget it.I had a Franken P made with a Tokai body and a Warmoth(I think) Jazz profile neck. Old EMG pu's. Had some hideous spray paint on it. I let it go for I dunno, $150. When I listen back to recordings it's possibly the best sounding P I've ever owned.
A couple hours ago I traded a stingray for a l1000 and $350.
I'd call that a lateral
I don't usually trade away instruments, I stockpile them. There's nothing wrong with playing an inexpensive bass, just try not to lose your shirt in an unfair trade.
It wouldn't be cheap, but Lakland used to offer to reneck instruments.My USA Glaub is my most pricey bass these days and while I love it, it's a beauty, etc., I could see another P taking its place someday, and certainly a cheaper one if it felt right (I wouldn't mind a thinner nut width for starters, and as long as I can slap some Fralins in it, it would do what I need).
Enough said.When I started playing I went from a Rickenbacker 4003 to a Squier Jazz and never regretted it. Why stick with an instrument you don't enjoy playing just because it cost a lot of money when you bought it?
