    Best bass purchase of 2019?

    I made quite a few good acquisitions in 2019 but this is at the top of my list. MTD USA 535 - 24 Masur Birch bass guitar. The figuring is incredible. The Masur Birch is on top of a Toasted Alder body. The neck is Maple, and the fingerboard is Ebony. This bass is really stunning in person...
