How shall I start!
This post is I suppose about observing the sales of different basses and the 'usefulness' of certain catwalk/custom models in the trenches of modern music.
The bottom line, music is made, no more, no less, so that's not the immediate issue.
What I'm referring to is the worship, coverting, then ultimately dismissal of certain high end basses. The sort of bass that although are manufactured to heavenly tolerances, using the finest materials known to angels, quickly lose appeal to the old faithfuls. The scenario of saving up and selling a kidney to buy said bass, only to sell it 6 months down the line!!
Is it just me that notices this, or is it just a small minority of happy/unhappy customers that do this?
