Lift up the Gator case it came in and you’d genuinely think there wasn’t a bass inside! Light as it is, it STILL plays the same wrong notes as all my previous basses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would believe it, I have 2 chambered basses that fit that description (it's mad what luthiers can do and still maintain balance). Yep, I have a number of basses and guitars that seem to put out the wrong notes, I'm thinking of sending them back to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get an NYC just to be frivolous and show off (well, a bit) but because I get a bad back, otherwise I might have got a Metro.

ezbass Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Fabulous looking beast, especially the fretboard and the signature on the headstock is a nice touch too. I have no doubt that you’ll be enjoying that for many years to come. Out of idle interest, what weight did come in at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTB Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 That looks great, like the colour a lot. Been playing my Metro Will Lee 4 today after a bit of a break. Now I’m fancying a 5 after seeing yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
