    Neck thru vs bolt on

    Ok just searched the archives and this thread should be safe from the frustrated search function Nazis. I've always played neck thru basses. I like the sustain, the heel transition and the look.

    Just made a trade with a fellow TBer which would have gone swimmingly except that UPS decided that instead of getting a signature it would be a better idea to leave my new bass sitting outside my front door. I live in Boston across the street from a subway station and down the block from an...

    Gk customer support

    Has anyone else been completely ignored by GK? I'm having issues with a 400rb and my emails to the customer support at GK remain unanswered.
