Easier said than done when searching for that elusive "perfect tone".
I traded my first Status Kingbass for a GB Spitfire after I bought a GB Rumour which was exactly what I wanted. The Spitfire is NOT a Rumour - I was disappointed and eventually sold the Spitfire and bought another Status Kingbass. Eventually traded this in a part ex for a Ritter Cora.
Throughout this I moved several "dream basses", in fact I do not own any of the above basses any longer - as I said "that elusive "perfect tone" ".
