pgpete - You have been an amazing source of information!! Thank you!!

I can't tell if I've responded or not, y'all.... A thousand pardons if this is a duplicate reply. pgpete, THANK YOU!! for your reply... Next question: I'm sending pics of the battery cover. The cover is also the "notch" you mentioned earlier. The cover seems wonky though. I THOUGHT...

Thank you, slagbass! From what I can tell the bass is set up pretty well. I play hard so.... I get a very slight fret buzz here and there in the 5 minutes I've thumped on it. I THINK I can raise the action a smidge at the bridge without wrecking the set up. Obviously, the neck is what it is...

BAM!!! I now own a 1985 XL-2!! It looks great. Just got it from UPS 30 min ago. So...for those in the know. The strap swivel thingy.... That was off the guitar for shipment and I'm curious. Simple enough to screw it back on, but I ASSUMED that it was a free swiveling type of a thing when...

I don't get it: I've reached out to TWO different folks selling DBs in the SLC area. Neither one of them bothered to respond. :bored: One is selling a Shen and the other the aforementioned (and questioned) Becker. A third guy DID respond immediately, but he's selling - - - - - - - - drum...

The Shen looks pretty good. I've reached out to the seller. BUT..... Be that as it may... Back to the original question: Does anyone know of this brand named "Becker?" Are they reputable? It's made in Romania and has a solid top. Other than those "facts" I know nothing of it. There aren't...

I see that now! I was using keyword "upright bass". So...it never came up. Thanks, mesmithnm!

Really? I've been hawking KSL every day multiple times... I didn't see that one. I'll give it a look for sure! Gracias!
