yeah and imho they are tooo pricey

 

[prsbass]

PRS made basses '86-'91 and '00-'03, well give or take a few months. The '86-91 versions are the best sounding basses I've ever played. They play as nice as any high-end bass too. Easiest way to tell is the older ones have three single coil pickups and a dummy coil while the newer ones have to single coils.

 

[prsbass]

yeah and imho they are tooo pricey

They were priced below Fender Custom shop and slightly above Sadowsky's and their quality is just as good as either so I think the price was just right.
Nobody really famous plays them so.................well that's for another thread.

One-year-away-from-technically-being-vintage-'84 Yamaha bb300 with some -old- SD basslines. Nothing too terribly remarkable, but it sounds amazing and I love it so <3

I've had an alembic, some fenders and a kubicki. I've had the opportunity to play a ton of hyper expensive basses. It's funny that I keep coming back to my first bass, a BB300 I bought new in 1989.

Sure, it's had all the paint stripped off, random holes drilled in it for various things. The pickups are now an Alembic PA/E1, and the bridge is a Badass (Not a Badass II, I had to sink the bridge 1/8" into the body to get the action down, because in my youth it never occurred to me to shim the neck.)

Yamaha really had something with these things. Love it.
