Oh nothing is wrong with the TRBX-304 at all. I LOVE that bass, actually. It was my second bass purchase and it taught me a TON about tonal variation and customizing my sound to fit a particular track/genre. I almost don't want to get rid of it, but to compensate for some of my other purchases, and because I don't play it that often anymore, I want to sell it off. I don't plan to buy anymore basses for quite some time now that I've completed "The Trifecta" (P, J, and Ray), and I feel like someone else could benefit from that amazing little bass.

I had a Spector Legend 5 and HATED the thing as well. It was clunky and heavy as hell, the pickups sounded bad to me, and I just couldn't get it to do anything I wanted it to do. You think you're gonna get your Ray back?


I totally feel you on the need to sell and recoup. 3 of mine are for sale right now (1 selling this afternoon I believe) but I'll still hate to see it go. I overextended a bit lol.

I think my Ray craze is past me now. I got rid of a sweet HH Ray with SLO neck recently cause I just couldn't make it work with my band. Awesome bass but not for me at the moment. I may grab a Ray 34 at some point just for myself but like I said, I've overdone it lately lol
 
How was the Infinity? I've always been curious

It was my dream bass for years. When I finally got to play it for the first time, it didn't sound at all the way I thought it would, but it was still great. I expected a warm, semi-hollow-body tone, but it sounded like a solid body. In fact, it had a brighter tone than any other Warwick I've played. It kind of reminded be of a Stingray a bit. Playability wise, it felt like a light-weight Corvette. It was very comfortable to play!

I feel like that's probably what will happen when I buy my dream Dolphin. It'll be fun for a minute though. Then I can flip it and likely lose a few hundred bucks lol
 
That Shredneck is kinda wild! Never seen one before. Good tone?

It's nice for a travel bass in a travel amp. It does what it's supposed to do. I probably wouldn't use it in a live context, unless I was just trying to have some goofy fun. It's got serious neck-dive, which isn't so bad when you're sitting and playing. When you're standing, it can be a little awkward.

And it jammed at the continental divide:

Sounds like my BC Rich Ironbird as far as busting it out for goofy stuff. It's the single least ergonomic and hard to play bass I've ever tried. I think both could make an interesting weapon!
