The best deal I ever got on a bass was from a buddy of mine. He owned several high end basses , one of which was a fodera 4 string yin yang. He was board one night and took a dental file to some of the frets and made a bit of a mess and then had some one install a tremolo and that didn't turn...

Glad to see there are so many liking ERB. I play an F bass 6 and a ck Carlton 10 string bass that I built. I couldn't go back after playing an ERB.

My wife bought me. A sweet squire jazz for my birthday years ago. That's just how Worship players wives roll....
