i bet the owner has prolly dealt with more odd bass tunings(string requests) than 99% of the bass population,i really can't help you technically in fact,weird deal is i was bashed biffed and shined on because i embraced 'odd' tunings now the same guys who gave me crap are playing open d open...

maybe buy a squire 5 string J(they were selling for 199.00? 3 months ago),then keep your 4 stringer for normal? gigs,i mean;then you are screwed if you want to play with folks in standard or flat,,i jam with a buddy and his teens and they swear by flat(since Jimi and SRv did it that way) i...

it's like what i'd hear on a station up in Eugene,Salem,Corvallis,Portland etc with huge college influence.no it's not my Skynyrd,nor FFinger death punch,and no country stuff (i won't continue mentioning jonres) what IT IS is new rock technopop synthesized dubbed music that attracts kids.played...

to figure value,,long story short i do autobody work for a manager and that's what he told me they did=figure half of what it goes for on ebay':confused: ok keep us posted:D

havent visted in awhile but if memory serves me correctly,the tabs are posted by contributors so they may or may not be accurate to the studio cuts and in fact i recall various contributions to the same song(s),so,,let's see,,ah yes green grass and high tides/outlaws,must have been 5 versions...

witch may be hard to do,just so many copies a body could have been used(non Fender) or a miriad of mods that may enhance value or detract a whole bunch..just talking value here. def. plug it in and pluck every string/fret every fret,twist every knob,looking for an electrical issue or buzzy...

i've had several combos,great when you want to sling it in the back of the wife's mini Ford and go jam with folks,,most of the (i'll say older meaning 90ish back) combos you can plug 2 instruments into and jam,but,you have to share the EQ setting however if you value having people stop by to...

i am so jealous of those who have a background of music theory,,having had guitars when i was in grade/junior high and now decades later i'get into it',,,when;i could have had that:crying: but i won't cry over it i'll study every bass player i can week by week, keep focusing on ear...
