Thanks Stephen, I'm attempting a re-alignment of sorts. Now that I have an s2 I'm really happy with, I'm running with that. For my acoustic gigs I'm going to try a Takamine TB-10 electric upright. I love my upright but lugging it around and having it sit somewhere where people can kick it or step on it is making me very nervous. Basically I have too many basses that don't get enough playing time. I love them all but must thin and stop the accumulation. It's a fun but very distracting disease this GAS.
