Hey everybody, just writing to let you all know about my new bass. I got it from the String emporium in New Mexico. It's one of their Wan Bernadel basses that can be found on
www.stringemporium.com/basscafe.htm
It's an incredible bass with a beautiful finish and huge sound. The bass sounds fantastic with a bow or pizz. It plays very evenly. The best part was the price: around $5000. If this bass had been made in Germany or the US, I'm convinced it would have cost 3 or 4 times as much!
Please check these guys out, they're super nice and very trustworthy. The bass speaks for itself-- if you're interested in a new axe, consider the Wan Bernadel.
