But I can tell you from experience that by the time the last set rolls around that old bass feels like ...

Re: the cadilac

It doesnt have the same pick ups as mine. I have the delux pick ups with the mini toggle switchs to set them in and out of phase.

Re: the cadilac

Well it hasnt survived all that well cuz its definatly got some road rash on her. However it still plays well
and I feel that a few nicks and scraps are what gives an axe its character.

Re: the cadilac

I have spoke to guitar players that told me that they used to own an ElDegas and they felt that they were junk. However after playing mine they could not agree that all ElDegas's were created equal. So they must have made some cheaper ones as well. I met up with someone who had an acustic once and I ...
