Ouch, that sucks.
I still need to sell one more bass before I would pull the trigger, but if its up another week, I might fold.

Yeah, that is not a deal breaker. Easy enough to do.

I use D’Addario Hydrate on my fretboards, and I have brought some dry ones back to life with it.

That is in and of itself the very reason for G.A.S.

Their solid bodies are $4000 basses from what I saw on a few websites lol… oof.

That is no doubt amazing but… I just can’t get past the Whale thing for basses with upper horns like that. It’s even the right color :rofl:

Streams are about as whaley as I can get.

Well me either except…this one isn’t so much a whale thing as it is an upright on one side and an electric on the other, or at least that’s how my brain is working around the whale thing.

Yeah they’re really sweet basses :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. Gorgeous finish. A bit rich for my blood tho…

Yeah, I would imagine the whale thing would make it feel funny to play the upper frets. Thumb placement would be odd.

I bought this off of GC… All it needed was a new set of strings and a few tweaks. BEAUTIFUL!
I hope I have the right thread this time. :crazy_face:

This is something they stopped after version 1 and really bums me out that my Stingray V3 doesn’t have them.

These (and the Stingrays) are super super rare.
That’s actually a good price.

Dunno if this is quite bass “porn”, but Fender has released a new bass… the Meteora:

Almost kinda Stream-ish, but in opposite-world.

…

Actually, now that I look at it, it’s very Dimension-like, too, but if someone took a “drag tool” to the body and pickguard and had some fun.
