I am teetering on the edge of parting with some serious cash here so HELP!!!!
I have always played Buffet (Bb, A, Eb, and all sorts of basses that I've borrowed over the years!) but am now on the hunt to buy a Bass and I have heard so many good things about the Selmer Privelige that I was wondering if I could pick the brains of this ever knowing Board to offer any experience or likes/dislikes between the Selmer Privelige and the Buffet Prestige.
I have played on both in the shop and at present am leaning towards the Buffet , and I know that I should go with what feels right... but it's a lot of dough you know!!! so was after some opinions on the two instruments before I sell the kids and take the plunge!
My only tech bit is - Having always played Buffet I feel that the keys down the left side of the instrument are a lot easier to hit - eg: a diminished 7th run down from F to low F on the Buffet I hit every time but can easily miss on the selmer - should I try to get used to the selmer (if it is a superior intrument?.....about a thousand quid more superior too!) or go with what feels more comfortable?
& how many gigs to pay the thing off?.....
as you can tell I'm quite lost at this juncture..........
