The one bad thing about a new bass...

[QuietlyStormy]

like many have said, it's the combined mojo that makes the instrument unique. nothing better than used so long as the thing isn't in tatters when you get it.

what kills me the most is the neglect my previous bass gets. sometimes i wish i had more than two hands.

to me mojo is what gets on the neck and the fretboard. When the neck starts changing colors on the back and the rosewood starts getting darker and you see the lines on it where you fingers have touched it so much, and the edges start getting smoother. All that dirt and oil and funk just makes it sound better!

Go ahead and kick it up and down the driveway a few times.

Thats not bass mojo. Friend don't like idiots play with basses.
