Up for their showroom also is the fender precision bass made in mexico which is 4 string. Although they're not that accomodating you can still try out the dame bass guitars. Try something beyond Fender and you'll be surprised. Good bassist are rare here in the philippines also to the fault of the players. If we practice enough with our soloing i bet people would be more enthusiastic with our music. Rock On! i visited everymusic and you can find a lot of dame bass guitars there.

My 34-inch fiver's B is so muddy I try to avoid it always. It's easy to adjust to 35's anyways.

I don't mind comments, in fact I like them since they work 2-way to fix any wrong communications.
