Ok - So a couple of weeks ago, I had an awesome opportunity to play with Bob Margolin, Debbie Davies and Albert Castiglia to close our bluesfest - I was absolutely awed and honored. Great players - great peoples!!
I say that to say this
Mr. Scott Spray had let me use his bass to play and again - I was honored!
He ususally uses a BB 3000 I believe, but had the 714bs as his road bass.
It felt great, and sounded just as good! I couldn't get over how good it felt, and how easy it was to get a "ME" tone.
I found one at Wilmington De Guitar Center, and was able to do an even up trade for a P Bass I had that has a neck that is just a shade too wide for me.
I couldn't get over how many tonal possibilities there are with the 714, it is a superior instrument, and isn't even one of their more expensive offerings. It was setup for me right off the wall, and even came with teh original gig bag.
I absolutely love this thing. Can't wait to gig it next week and take it for a check drive.
