I'd really like to experience playing some different basses at this level (without having to buy them first!). Amazingly, even though Phoenix,AZ is so big and includes large amounts of very wealthy homes, you never even see let alone have the chance to try playing anything here other than the pathetic effort that Guitar Center & Sam Ash put into supporting bass players with like the same 6 equally cheap & uninspiring basses in one dark corner of their otherwise expansive guitar sections. Are you guys only getting your playing experiences of this level of gear through buying/trading or are there places you know and would recommend where you can side-by-side compare this level of stuff?
