GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

Where do you get your basses PLEK’ed? I know 13th Street in H.B. is really big on PLEK, but is there another place?

I took mine to 13th street. It’s quite reliable I know there are a few places in Hollywood area but the wait can be unpredictable. Either route takes 45 minutes to an hour for me and 13th st was close to @T_dub so I went there. Plus OC people are much nicer. :joy:

A work place acquaintance told me “The next time you’re in Groton/New London CT, you gotta go to Ron’s Guitars and check out the store.” Well, I did and walked out with this:

2015 Reverand Dub King, hollow body, short scale with a hard case.
I really need adult supervision.

They can be found used in the States (possibly elsewhere, too) for reasonably good prices.

This is the result of just one quick Google:

Yeah… In Germany it’s 1111€, B-Stock.
Only one to get here. And I swore I would not buy it.

But I would like to know what I’m missing out … @JerryP :slight_smile:

The price of the used one I found got cropped out of the first screenshot. I fixed that.

In excellent condition, it’s selling for approximately 776 USD.

That’s the USA … where everything is cheap and great, and you have freedom of choice!

Here in Europe we have have basically bass socialism. Not too many options, everything fun is expensive :frowning:

And Jerry bought his in the US. You originally asked what he might have paid for it. The screenshot was in answer to that. I can’t help where you live and what stuff costs there, in comparison.

Hahahah, yeah! Thank you for answering for Jerry.
I suffer from FOMO (Fun of missing out!).

No one can answer for Jerry. He is a forum treasure.

I was just trying to help out in his absence.

Thanks Whying_Dutchman! The price tag was $699. I bought a t-shirt and with tax it came to $769.

I haven’t had time to play it yet today,(except in the store), but I will later on after I do some work.

Being in a hotel room and on a work schedule, it may take me a while to get a cover together. But I will try to play something short and quick to demo the tone. I just happen to throw my DAI in the suitcase before I left.
