I’d never get that one it says its condition is only “Very Good.” That’s crap. If you can’t afford another $100k for one that is in mint condition, you’ll never be a real bassist.

Let's spread some musical misinformation

Who was universally known as Pasto, from his name and his love of Italian carb-heavy food. He only wore the various knitted hats to cover his Pastfarian collander as whilst he founded the religion, it was still secret at the time.
Boutique does mean small. However, in context, it refers to the manufacturer, not the instrument. By law, boutique makers of musical instruments can't be taller than 5' and boutique makers of amplifiers can't be taller than 4'7". The shorter the maker, the higher the price. The luthiers at Fodera and Ritter are all shorter than 4'.
Ah, now I understand the trend towards shorter scales, as they are making instruments that suit them, and smaller, lighter amps. Thank you, it all makes sense now.
The long-scale instruments - 35" and greater - are being built by various types of monkeys.
While Carl Douglas was finishing up the finishing touches of his album, and his instruments & microphone were still on, he observed the strangest thing through the producer & engineer's window. Without warning, a number of people suddenly bust into the control room. Intense brawling ensued and everybody started Kung Fu Fighting.
The Beatles on the set of "Help" with their stunt doubles.
George, in a sort of proto-Tom Cruise move, insisted on doing his own stunts and had his double released from duty. George's petulance and resentment toward director Richard Lester is quite evident in the body language George displays here.
This resulted in a broken leg on the slopes for poor George, but luckily for fans and for posterity the Sullen Beatle was aided
back to health by a nurse named Patti Boyd, for whom he subsequently penned the hit "Layla" as found on the LP "Abbey Rode."

And each new bass, amp and cab have to be weight certified before leaving the factory to prevent misleading advertising.
You'll soon start seeing stickers on each piece of equipment soon.
Maybe bass monkeys will be doing the job.
All bass guitars sound the same whether made of ash, alder or rolled up newspapers.
I love the trend toward miniaturization.
I added a GZR to this little pea-shooter, and through my Elf & Zippo-sized cab it sounds MONSTROUS.
Big enough for coffee house OR club, I would now only use a 30" scale bass for an outdoor gig.
Best bass for metal. And the best hat for metal.
Actually, Ringo is the proto-Cruise - talentless, closeted, scientologist.
Great idea for a hat for metal.
I was using this, but I simply can't see the frets and I'm hitting too many clams.
I realize it is show biz and you can't play perfect when rockin and leaping, but I can't get past my perfectionism.
What's the best meds for metal ocd?
Alcohol works wonders, but it can lead to metal alcohol syndrome.
