    Superficial or not??

    🎸 Ok, I know this sounds kinda superficial, but I’ve got a lot of build-up on my bass neck, and I actually think it looks kinda cool. 🤘 Do you think I should keep the “well-played” vibe or go ahead and clean it up? Let me know what you think!

    Looking at a Vintage Ken Smith...Questions...

    I wish they would do some sort of income-based sliding scale for their instruments...Ironically, the poorest professionals have some of the most expensive tools.

    Introducing my "Baker Bass" OK, I built this beauty during the pandemic for about $800.00 total, and now it would cost almost $1900.00. Crazy how much prices are up. This neck is either rift or quarter-sawn, and the body is a single piece of Swamp Ash with a Rosewood board. All other parts...
