2000 - ish Marcus Miller Fender Jazz bass. Some band was in town and their bass amp blew up and they traded this in. I bought it about 10 minutes later 1994 Fender Prodigy bass. I've had this since 1995 or so. I think I traded an Ibanez flanger pedal for it, or something ridiculous like that. This is set up B E A D and has a Bad Ass bridge instead of the stock "Super Crap" bridge. Really really cheap Washburn fretless. This showed up at my shop as a trade. For $80, I couldn't pass it up. It has VERY passive pickups... like really REALLY low output, and it gets along very well with my Ab-Synth. Less so with my Montreal Assembly bitcrusher. And today, much to my wife's chagrin, I bought a Japanese Fender Strat. 1997-ish (i think) and it plays better than any American Strat I have in my store right now. Amazing. M

A: I like your style. B: Where is this magical store of which you speak? You should be hyping this place, man - we're your prime demographic!
I co-run the Guitar Center here in Fort Wayne, IN. I also sell LP's, Turntables and other oddball electronics as Neat Neat Neat Records and Music. I generally take on consignment stuff that GC won't buy... stuff like digital multitracks and the like. Most records I just buy outright to sell (after picking out the stuff I want to keep, of course... which make my record collection officially retarded) I've built studios and live sound rigs for 12 or 13 yrs now, so it works out well for me. The "finding odd used gear" part is just a nice bonus.

Damn! I was hoping that you were gonna say you lived out here in New England. Alas. Well, if I ever make it out to Indiana again, I'll be sure to drop by Neat Neat Neat... do you sell online at all?
