For example - this is a secondhand bass on sale at BD. The description reads, "A secondhand bass in immaculate condition". Please look at this link and tell me this bass is 'immaculate'.

I've had failed auditions but never been fired. I sort of knew when it was time to leave and the band would usually implode 6 months -ish later. The last band I was in, everyone quit except me! Not because of me though...

Are you sure you're in the right forum?

You can tell the last album was written mainly by Flea or came from bass grooves. There is very little guitar riffing going on - sort of killed it for me.
I've seen loads of new basses with scratches, dings, bumps on. Not a weird question to ask. How can it be 'mint' or 'like new' if everyone coming into the shop has been playing it for 6 months maybe more?

Tbh I hate talkbass. Unlike here most of there members are not the most friendly of people. And if you make a mistake you will be jumped on.

In what way do you prefer the Hi Beams? I've never tried them but I do love the Fatbeams. Just curious what the difference is.

Hi Beams are a little scooped sounding and Fat Beams focus on the mids a bit more.
