    Please help me to choose my next bass

    TBers, I've been having a severe case of GAS over these past few weeks. I'm considering to "move away" from Fender J basses and decide to try another brand for once. There are 4 basses that I've been considering on getting: Sadowsky M5-24, a Mike Lull M4V with Fralin PUs & J-Retrofit Preamp, a...

    To those that don't live in the US: Does "MIA" matter that much to you?

    I'm living in a country where Sire basses are made. Needless to say, Sire basses are popular here, and as of recently they are preferred over foreign-made, esp. MIM/MIJ Fender basses.

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    Greetings. I've been thinking to get a Sadowsky M5-24 for a while, but I'm still not sure if the demos of it on YT is accurate representation of its pros and cons.

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    Well the seller claimed that it's a Euro Rebop (if there's such a thing), and I never used a Spector bass before so I'm unsure myself. Yes, the photo is exactly the bass that the seller is trying to sell to me, and I was also confused by the PU setup since based on my prior research on the...

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    Greetings TB'ers. First post on TB, I hope I am not in the wrong place to ask about something Spector related. Recently someone was offering me his Spector ReBop 4 and the bass more or less looks like this: However, he asked for roughly USD$1900 for the price (still negotiable), is it worth...
