Maybe the third time is charmed.
Actually, the second time was an awesome ride (1998 EB MM StringRay 5H) for about 23 years.
I thought I was done with bass, but bass apparently is not done with me.
I've been looking at various basses - mainly MTD Kingston Super 5 and Sadowsky MetroExpress JJ 5.
I've also looked at various Cort basses for several years.
I'm more comfortable with 18mm string spacing and 34" scale.
Which the Sadowsky ME has, but by the time you get a VTC preamp in it, that's...
