I just typed like a 700 word essay and I erased it about the pros and cons of this bass and the 9 things ken ****ed up
synopsys:
pros: excellent feel,tone and playibility
Con:
oily as hell -I fixed this already
battery cover didnt fit snug - I also fixed this
inlay is on the wrong side and not exactly what I told him to do
wooden 2 pc bridge is an obviously a "minimum he could do" operation.
wrong strings (e-c not the B to g I play so i had to buy new strings)
forgot the "e" clips for the straplocks so I had to buy them too.
oil finish so my rare as hell awesome ziricote looks like mud
(he told me this after he had already glue it up- now I am going to get it refinished in poly.
the commumication almost drove me to fly out there and hurt him.
it took 3-4 years
the midbody was supposed to be maple and its wenge (but in light of that the wenge sounds GREAT!
thats alot of cons to 3 pros.
if I was to buy this bass now it would be a smokin bass and experience.
having been here through all of that bull**** its tough to hold this bass up on a pedestal.
I think chris benavente, chris stambaugh, carey nordstrand all make just as good if not better basses than this one. and chris Stambaugh would make you the bass for half of what I payed
now the pics
