Don't let a dysfunctional player make the band dysfunctional too.

There is a link to Yamaha that will tell you about your bass. It works for some serial numbers but misses some. I don't have the link anymore. Google Yamaha serialization and you will find a PDF file that provides a general guideline for all makers' serial numbers. I found it more useful to me.

My general idea about the choice of instrument is I will let its level (measured by price) match my skill and venue level. Right now, I am at about $800. OK, admittedly it is a bit above my current level (but it gives me some room to grow). If I would have grown to own a $15,000 bass, I...

I need milk. Should I go to the store now or go find the cow in the back yard?

A couple possibilities happened to me: 1) the item is sold - sometimes seller woke up by your inquiries and cleaned his overdued posting. 2) your email (CL mail) might have gone to his spam box and he never noticed it. Other than keeping asking, I don't a better way. 3) your replies did...
