[quote name='4 Strings' post='798511' date='Apr 7 2010, 11:12 AM']My first bass was given to me and, ungrateful wretch that I am, I found it so horrible I broke it. It was an Avon EBO copy. Sounded horrible, played horribly and had a horrible dodgy jack. Better things could have been done with the materials. It was a bad bass.[/quote]
My first bass too. I had to save up and pay for the rotten, nasty thing myself though.
Even when I was learning on it I knew it wasn't any good. It had an action high enough to afford no challenge to a competent limbo dancer.
My precision was the best one for me out of the half dozen or so I tried. But not by much. I could have got on with any of them. They seem to be very consistent these days.
