Matter of life. need help in deciding. (Bass content)

Ok I'm fine and healthy, nothing to worry about hehe. But really want your honest thoughts, you guys are helpfull!

The case is: I just sold my Thumb NT 6 1999 in a very good price I think: 2,600$..the reasons? I think I'm trying to evolve as in the search for another tone, and maybe i no longer found in this bass.. i still feel like a sadness i'm not a materialistic person, but hurts to let go an instrument that accompany you on your best musical life experiences! Ok so..

In one hand: My first thought was that this money would be used to purchase a new custom made bass, it has all the features I always wanted from a bass, The construction, comfort, quality, and sound are flawless, much like Fodera. Please check out: Luthier - Guitarras y Bajos (Freddy Utrera) | MySpace

In the other hand: the point is that for now i have that money, and in my country anybody can start a small business with it, rigth now I have a full time work, but I want stop being an employee, to start get something for my own, (I'm thinking about open a rehersal room, but need more money of course) and I think it has presented an opportunity with this sale.. So...:

-Get the bass, and keep working as a employee at least a little more time or

-Start my own business,keep my Streamer Jazzman and later I'll see if that dream bass come in some life time? The bass will look something like this with different woods combinations:






Thank you all!

The STreamer Jazzman is a very good bass, so if you have the opportunity to start a business with that money, yes, why not...
 
+1! Florin is absolutely right...maybe you will find yourself in a better situation in the future with a new bass funded by your new business..that'd be really rewarding.
 
At first: The basses look interesting, with all those switches they remind me a bit of Alembic...

I would advice you to save the money, buy the bass later, work further as an employee and make up a decent plan for your own business. Make something solid that earns you something. When that plan has fully evolved, start the business.

+1.
I'd go with the business option, but make sure you know what you're doing and then you'll be able to buy one of these and a thumb :d
 
If you have the willingness to start a business and got the skills, then go for it. But I must tell you running a business is no joke.

Btw, those basses look like Stambaughs.
 
Yeah, running a business is serious business ;). I have a feeling that failing businesses outnumber the successful ones...

 
Go into bussiness & if successfull,you'll have plenty of cash for all the basses your little heart desires.
 
Seems to be the most mature way to invest the money... this is the perfect case of the little devil and little angel over my shoulders! and the devil is annoying me too much right now:evil:
