Raven short scale violin shaped bass made in Japan with scroll headstock.

This is a tough one for me.
I really want this bass, and the seller is quite literally only a few streets away from where I am as I type this. But I currently own 3 basses ( a Westone Thunder, an Ibanez Roadster, and a Vantage V900B - 2 of which i should be selling ) and I really do not play bass. I can play but I only play for demo purposes and I never gig as a bassist ( all drummers heave a collective sigh of relief ).

This Matsumoku made Raven violin bass is, according to the seller, in near mint condition. The pictures seem support his claim, and everything about this bass says "buy me".

My resolve is weak, but my wallet is empty.

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ....Raven? Custom Batman Comic Finished Raven guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:

I think I had a Raven in the early 1980s. I'm not sure because the guitar I had didn't have a name anywhere, and the internet was only at Al Gore's house and he wouldn't let me check for guitars on the web. 

I only now suspect that it was a Raven after seeing this Custom Comic Finished guitar. The body shape, pickguard, and pickup were all the same as the ones shown here. 

I hated mine. It was the 80s and it wasn't a Fender or Gibson. I wonder if Batman could have changed my adolescent mind.
