Yeah, but it's more guitar-related than bass-related

It doesn't matter Bass or guitar US or Japan some things are the same

It is so cool," says Yuki Yamaguchi, a 19-year-old student who bought a $5,400 Tak Matsumoto Gibson on three-month credit. "I open the case and look at in and go: 'It is so cool.' "


Amateur musicians like Yamaguchi, who acknowledges he hardly has time to play his guitar and spends more time admiring it, may be just buying a dream.

Some of the biggest fans of Gibson guitars are the Boomer generation who grew up on 1970s music and now have the money to splurge on guitars, says Thom Fowle, a Gibson sales executive.

The real musicians who have yet to strike fame have more problems coming up with the money to buy expensive guitars.
