| | | | I would miss it, but looking at that beautiful instrument every day sure would help ease the pain. Truth is, though, once I get my tone, I really use the same settings throughout the gig. I use my hands and technique to adjust my tone at the gig, not knobs and switches. |

No, you won't. I think this might be one of Kevin's top three finishes ever!
I think you will find it more versatile then you think.
I am sure Brad can give you lots of info on it.

|  | Registered User Endorsing artist: Brubaker Guitars | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Gaithersburg, Md | | Rev Jones of the Michael Schenker Group has two single pickup Phoenix basses, a fretless and fretted. I played both of them before they went out. I'm a dyed in the wool two pickup man but I didn't miss anything with that pickup in the sweetspot on either bass. Kind of surprised tbh.
Will you? Beats me.
You got a great deal on a very nice bass. I'm guessing you already knew that.  |

I always love a NBD worth showing off!
The fretboard looks nothing short of stunning.

I have always felt the same way about single cut's. Just not for me.
But that bass is HOT!!!
I love it and would rock the heck out of it.
Congratulations
