Got me a new Duff Mckagan today. Wow. love it. had a ibby srx 390 - what a huge difference....just started playing about 2 months ago bought a new ibby - really liked it- went to the local store and picked up the Duff-- well you know how it goes- now i will have to find the ibby a new home- just no comparing the two..... have heard about the MIM stuff, but this bass is really well made and has a great sound. played an MIA jazz -and then the Duff ... i dont see the warrant in the price for a MIA.
