That may be lower than other asking prices we've seen, but those don't sell. The final price here is about right.

Actually, the Piezo sounds pretty raw on those and not sterile - perhaps because it was such an early one. The Shadow Explorers certainly have a more assertive tone across all frequencies than the regular ones with the lame Grabber pups. The warmth of the maho body and the overt "thereness"  of the Piezo go together well.

Is there a Gibson bass more appropriate for that kind of finish?  :mrgreen:
