    The Bass Company

    My AP-500MJ arrived today. Pros & Cons, Positives & Negatives: I ordered it on 3/10/06; this is the EBay link to it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7393552552 As you can see, the heading lists it as an AP-500MM 5 string, but the picture is an AP-500MJ 5 string. After...
