    Sterling Ray 34 in Antique Maple now available...tell me this isn't one beautiful bass!

    Don't own one but if I had lots of disposable income I'd seriously consider this sexy b!tch: American Vintage Ovation Magnum IV EQ 1978 Gray Burst | Reverb

    I have to bend my wrist quite a bit to reach the E String. Hurts.

    So I went to Sam Ash today...

    Ahahaha, reminds me of a Louis CK bit where he talks about how bad customer service is in chain stores like BestBuy, where you ask a question and the employee says "Here, let me read the box like you could have."

    Are you talking about the Blacktop? With the crazy looking pickups? How do they sound? I always like them aesthetically but never tried one out as they are rare these days.
