    High End P Bass

    Not on the list but have you considered the Sean Hurley Signature P? It's cheaper than the Pino and has hand-wound pickups plus real bone nut unlike the synthetic one on the Pino. I have one so I'm biased. I love it! Also just got an Olinto P4 and man I can't put it down. It's an awesome bass!

    Sean Hurley interview

    Yes great interview indeed. Had the pleasure of getting a lesson from Sean. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge but he's such a cool guy!

    The Official MTD USA Thread

    Picked up this used Saratoga 5 at GC a couple of weeks ago. Michael said it's swamp ash. Previous owner installed a poorly made finger ramp which thankfully was only attached with double sided tape. Removed it as you can see on the last pic. Probably my lightest bass. Loving it so far.

    The Official MTD USA Thread

    Found a used USA Saratoga 5 today at GC but they don't have the specs on it. Wondering if anyone here has owned #3108? Looks like the body is ash with a natural wood finish, maple neck with BE fretboard. The matching wood knobs might've been added later. I forgot to take a pic of it. Thanks guys!

    I haven’t played a Pino but I have a FCS Sean Hurley and it’s amazing and slightly cheaper than the Pino. Also, it has hand wound pick-ups, not sure if the Pino does. So I say go with a Hurley!

    NBD - NOS 2021 American Professional II Precision

    Congrats! The bass looks awesome. I love how the RW fretboard makes the color pop even more. I bought a bass from Wildwood about 3 years ago and their setup was amazing. I had to email them and asked if they had Plek'd it because the action was so good out of the box.

    NBD-FCS Sean Hurley Signature Precision Bass

    My first impression of the mute is that it doesn't work that well, but the action on the bass out of the box is a bit high so maybe once I set it up properly it'll have more effect on the tone. I've heard others say it affects the tuning.

    NBD-FCS Sean Hurley Signature Precision Bass

    Thanks everyone! I should mention I had a lesson with Sean himself a few weeks ago. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. You can see how much joy he gets out of talking music and teaching others.

    Club Xotic is Here!

    To be more specific just a light drive. One of those helix stomp patches where I have to really dig in to break it up. Thanks for the rec!
