    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    I took a chance and bought a china bass. Wasn't sure if I'd get kindling or a playable bass. The build looked ok: Color: Gradient Body Type: Solid Condition: Not Specified Dexterity: Right-handed Body Material: Ash Neck Material: roasted maple Fingerboard Material: roasted bird eye maple String...

    The bass that was your biggest disappointment

    The shoulder load smelly natural Music Man Sabre bass. Great sound, a ton of weight, and a smell that took over everything.

    Best P-bass that isn't a Fender?

    They all look like great non Fender P-Basses. I'd throw in my Yamaha Pulser to the mix as well or maybe the Vantage VA-900 (for a double P-Bass sound)

    How many basses do you own? (Currently) Part 2

    I enjoy The sound (not quite an upright bass), being a fretted bass player it requires a bit more concentration to get the notes correct. I got it used a few years ago for $450, the only issue was a few pin holes in the head of the neck and maybe a dent.

    How many basses do you own? (Currently) Part 2

    Sounds right. I got into a bunch of shopping therapy (Eg. My Job sucks). But I do like that I can swap around basses and get a feel for different bass types.
