Considering Ditching Warwick...

If you are in West LA, why not drive to Houston? It has a metro area of about six million, there must be some good must c shops there.

I'm glad someone else noticed that lol.

But on the topic of Houston, I still don't see an 11-12 hour round trip to try out a bass as a viable option and the Perfect Bass closed so there's that.

Lots of people take road trips to check out gear. Plan ahead and make a weekend out of it.

I'll stop in places if I happen to be in the area. Just last week I was in Montreal on business and made a point to check out Invalid Link Removed. Great shop. Great basses. Great people.

To plan more than a few hours trip to spend some time on a bass is just not reasonable in my eyes when I could commit the couple/few hundred dollars (once fuel and lodging is spent) of that trip towards a custom from a builder that I don't need to try out first. I'm not knocking anyone who does. It's just not for me.

There's hardly a wrong way to spend money in the search, just relative preferred ways! But does the search truly ever end? Or just pause? :)

I'm still thrilled with my Better MouseTrap bass and will be commissioning another later this year. One thing I do need to try out are pickups, but those are easily swapped if I don't like them. ;)

I didn't say you were doing anything wrong. I acknowledged that you do it your way.
