Lol, was just browsing On Sweetwater , for only $200 they’ll plek your new $7000 bass. Can someone explain to me why a $7000 bass would benefit from a plek job.
There are very few places left that don’t have a security video system. Even a neighboring business may have footage of the person walking away with it. It’s pretty hard to conceal a bass. I’m still looking for my 1975 Rickenbacker 4001, stolen in 1982.
The B301/302 are great basses. Right now they are sleepers on the market, you won’t pay more than $1000 for a nice one. The value will only go up. They’re MIA , unique and sound great.
It only bugs me because I’m way over 40, lol. Back in my CBGB days we would have been pretty amused if a 63 year old showed up for an audition, could have been a virtuoso player, he wasn’t getting the gig.
I have about 10 basses currently (I really need to put a few more of these in the classifieds). All but two of them have lacquer or poly finishes on the neck. Two have light oil finishes and those are the ones that need the most adjustments through the year. I’m not sure if it’s still the case...
14 times and counting. I think I need to get therapy because I’m running out of room. I have basses that I’ve actually forgotten that I have. Take my advice, stick with one bass. Don’t go down this path, the point of no return happens very quickly.
Having a good live sound person is as important as every other member of the band. Being a good sound engineer requires a lot of knowledge and experience just like playing an instrument.
I’m usually pretty forgiving when it comes to a minor QC issue that might slip through. That fretboard is garbage. A $100 Glary bass has a better finish than that.
