Well we’ll. Look what just popped up today on reverb, the fretless version of the bass I just bought. Too rich for my blood right now.

But super nice!

Yeah, I think it resembles a P bass more then Tele. Quite frankly, I don’t see the Tele in it.
It’s still cool, just don’t see that

You got that?
Cool.
I am curious to see your thought comparing with your BFR

Yeah, it is a real looker. Probably tied for my 2nd favorite Ray34 in the current line up, with the Natural ash with roasted maple neck.

The one I like most is the Black Ash with roasted maple neck. I just love that black wash ash body with all black hardware.

Sadly I have not spent enough time with the BFR…yet. Plan for the long weekend is to start in on Mark Smith’s slap course with it big time.

you don’t see too many of them anymore, but this just popped up on reverb. music man’s insanely hyped and biggest fail, the reflex. with its hugely complex electronics that claimed you could dial in any bass sound with.

Looks like you could dial up Mars!

Gonna be in the neighborhood tomorrow, maybe I’ll go see it. I still have points to spend there! Not enough to snag a $4k bass though

Yeah, that is sick.
I think it even looks good with the gold hardware, which usually I would barf on.

But I found this, much more affordable orange bass today.
Not getting it, but I mean, for what it is, and the color, the price is not bad at all.

I have never seen a GRIND in orange, or let along any Peavey in Orange
And only $224
I have played a Grind before, and I really do like them.
