My previous bass guitar had one of its machine heads snap off, and I had rehearsal that same day, so I looked online at the used instrument stock at local music stores and found a bass guitar used that was a very unique, discontinued model that I’d been essentially dreaming of for a while, and happened to be there.

What I probably should’ve done is replaced the machine head, which wIt was a bit pricey, and the store was not very close, but I was able to get it and then take it to use at rehearsal. Now it’s my daily driver and I’m very glad I got it.
