Yes, do this.
Thunderbirds for Aria!

It's awfully tempting
Though I don't know how much money I'd get back for the Aria. But worse stil, I'll get dreadfully sentimental about it - it was my first full-size bass, you see.

But it probably doesn't sound as good as a Thunderbird...

The solution is obvious, my man.
Keep them both.

I don't really have the space
And if I owned 3 basses then the Aria really would see no use at all and I'd end up flogging it anyway.

I probably shouldn't get so worked up about this. But I might go back to the shop and ask if I can have a play on it to "assist my decision."

Just one little waffer thin bass?
