My first was an Axe 4 string p/jazz copy, I had no finger strength because id just started playing and the neck was so warped that I couldn't actually push the string to the board beyond the 12th fret. One of the bushings on the machinheads literally fell off the second day I had it so I played it with 3 strings and it had no backplate so the electronics hung out the back. it only had one knob with numbers literally painted on it but they weren't even so you couldnt really tell what was going on. And that SOUND well lets just say ill never hear anything like it again, what a bass
