I've played them before, I'm not much of a fan of them, for my style. I'm also not going to settle for another bolt on, for as much as I plan to spend on a bass. I've been running into a lot of bolt on's that were way overpriced. If I'm going to spend 2 to 3 grand+ on a bass, it better be a neck through. I don't know how much that one is, but like I said, not my kind of bass. But, I suppose it's great for your style though. I just didn't like the tone, I need something a little more sensitive, brighter. You can imagine what I go through when I'm at guitar shows with 50+ year old professional musicians telling me I when I shouldn't settle.

I found a new use for youtube two months ago, I found a bunch of songs I know how to play or want to know how to play and saved them all as favorites, and I created my own playlist, so I can play along with all these songs for an hour or two, or three and this bass sits wonderfully in the mix. Bass Specialties has another one there if you're ever in that area and want to check it out. Here's a pic of the other one;
It's actually a bit more brown in person than in the pic. |
