| | | | "Bass Mods" basses. Anyone heard of them?
Hey, I just stumbled across this ebay store that has some fantastic looking basses under the brand "Bass Mods".
They look amazing. Anyone heard anything about them? http://stores.ebay.com/Als-Music-Sou...=p4634.c0.m322

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

Al is a super guy to deal with. The basses are a new venture for him. I'd be willing to bet they're top notch. He really stands behind his stuff. |

I had no problem giving positive feeback, the shipped quickly, price was decent and the quaility is great.
pick guard is from WDmusic but the rest is from Al's music 
never tried their basses but I am happy with my hardware

They pretty much look to me along the lines of what you get with a G&L Tribute for similar cash. Nice wood. Good looks. Decent parts. The main advantage of these is they come more styles such as 6 string and Spalted maple.
What I call "incredible" was my SX 6 string Fender clones for about $150. |
