Holiday Bass Notes

So many basses! Basses being played, basses being tuned, basses restrung, hot-rodded, in for a polish, leaving the building, basses in giant crates being expertly whisked off to worldwide destinations...  Sometimes our Vintage section can't keep up - if you are looking for something in particular, better to just call!
