we find the perfect bass?

hmmm, you are closer to canada though xgabriele, why the no canadians policy? don't fret i'll send out my checkbook and you'll be fine for the first $.32 after that im done.

it might work if you have the resources to get the best prices. pretty much everybody runs by the basic msrp so the prices will vary by only a few dollars.
the only way I find that that is even remotely possible is to buy millions in stock for the wholesalers discount and sell it for only a marginal profit, which would make alot of people very happy but the warehousing employees and yourself not so much.
 
the perfect bass would have sensors attached to your head, and fingers, and whatever tune you can think of in your head, would send impulses to your fingers and put them in the perfect position and pluck/pick/tap/slap/double thumb/whatever other techniques there are... that way, its not making its own music, because you have to use your mind to say "i want to play this, but not that"... this could also double as a training device.. it would work the muscles in your hands, and you'd get so used to a certain beat or tune or whatever, and you'd be able to play it naturally!

but seriously, are you talking about "i want this body with such and such pickups, yadeyadeyada" or are you talking about custom colors, etc.? i basically want a GSR200 or fender p-bass with a different color scheme than what is shown on the websites...

cool idea... but are you on acid?
 
what do you guys think of this idea, fill out a breif survey about what your perfect bass is, and we find it for you at the lowest price possible, all you have to do is sign up(we need your email and name) and we do the rest
Too bad this will never work, you'd get a lot of repeat business. Some folks have a new perfect bass every month.:D :hiding:
