THIS BASS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I absolutely love this bass. After purchacing the bass I took it to the Warrior factory for "Warrior Care' as they call it. After the setup and fret level I couldn't put the bass down. J.D. Lewis at Warrior told me this bass was built for the great Andrew Gouche in 1999. Andrew is a top session player and top gospel and R&B player in LA. He confirmed it was his in an email. The thin neck with the wide fingerboard make this bass the best playing instrument I've ever played. (Except maybe one of the new Warriors at the factory!) I HIGHLY recommend these basses to ANYONE in the music scene. J.D. guarentees to find a bass that will "blow your brains out" as he says. I dare anyone to take the Warrior challenge. The company is incredible to work with and extremely helpful. If you want a bass that will keep musicians from amaturs to pros asking "where did you get THAT?" then step up to a Warrior.
