Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Buy an HD-DVD Player

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

There are two ways to look at this. The first one is that inflation
took you into the above $1000 category, so you're okay by Vern. The
other way to look at it is that $700 was a ton of money to be spending
on a guitar back then (well over $1000 in 2007 dollars) and Vern can
be appropriately disgusted at you.

 

I am far from disgusted though, I have paid more than $1,000 for a bass, and I am somewhat ashamed to say it, but I have done it more than once.

 

Its not a matter of disgust, it is a matter of value to the person who is spending the money. As someone who appreciates the sound, playability and just plain workmanship that goes into a quality instrument, I can see where someone would consider the better quality of picture and sound presented by an HD device.

I'm going to take a third approach, and disagree with Vern. I will
agree that more than $1K on a *solid body electric* seems pretty silly
if you're just talking about the sound of the thing.

 

Instruments are a difficult thing, I have played $4,000 basses and hated them, I have played $400 basses and loved them. Generally speaking the quality of the instrument is going to be better the more you pay for it. However, there are times when the subjectivity of the player rules out one of these expensive instruments.
