OK, I'm thinking about selling every last piece of my gear to buy American made insturments. Just a complete and total up grade. I'm also thinking about just destroying my chequeings account.
my gear includes.........
Tribby G&L
MIM P-bass (upgrades)
Squier fat strat and Affinity P
Hohner les paul
fender 25 amp
Yorkville 200 watt amp
At most I know I'm looking at a grand total of $1500, if that. Am I missing the boat on this? I just feel clutterd and closed in. The fret buzz, the not staying in tune and the weak tone, will MIA make it go away?
I think I just need sleep.

I've played plenty that are horrid. |

Leave us to talk about nothing and take your "relevant question" over to those fancy shmancy basses/amps/fancyness forums.

the build quality was nice, but they felt like plastic.

Tribbys are very good instruments, and I've played plenty of MIM Fenders that play nicer than their MIA bretheren. Seek professional help - either for instrument setup or playing technique...or both. |
