Ok, not 1/10th as cool as this:
Craigslist Score! -- Kubicki Content
but.... I've always liked Steinies. Never felt like putting a grand into owning one, so I've had a hankering for the poor man's version, the Steingberger Licensed Cort knock off.
Casually perusing the local Craigslist recently and I saw one for $100, with original gig bag. Hmmm, these tend to be pretty beat up, but for $100, worth a look-see. Two hours of heinous traffic and five $20 dollar bills later and it's mine. Very good shape, with just enough wear to be comfortable, neck feels great, sound is very acceptable, solid even. 'Already put half as much as I paid for it into a new set of LaBella flats. God help me, I'll probably want to throw an expensive pair of pups into one day.
What really got me is just how
fun this bass feels. I've been playing an FNA Jazzman 5 mostly of late, and it feels like a
serious instrument. It feels good to play a 4 again and I dig this light, super portable, strange-ass looking thing. It puts a smile on my face, and that's what matters, eh?
