I find it hard to believe that some of you are so impressed by this bass. I really do.
Naivete...I guess.

Leaves me cold. If it had $20,000 worth of sound, it wouldn't need the fancy work. Or 17 or 27 or whatever they're asking.

I would play it before I buy it. It's a pretty bass, but that means little if it doesn't have "The Sound". For that much money, I want to be sure that it's the only bass I'll want for a while. |
